TwinShip Innovation 2

🚢 TwinShip Innovation Spotlight: Vessel Data Cloud Space (VDCS)

Presenting Innovation 2 of the TwinShip project – the Vessel Data Cloud Space (VDCS) – a structured, intelligent data layer embedded within the open-source VesselAI platform.

🔍 Current Challenge:
Commercial-scale data platforms typically focus on storage, lacking the ability to model complex relationships across vessel System-of-Systems (SoS) data. This limits the maritime sector’s ability to perform deep, integrated analysis of critical systems like engines, propellers, and IoT streams.

🚀 TwinShip’s Breakthrough:
The VDCS organizes diverse vessel data using knowledge graphs and ontologies to maintain real-world interconnections. Integrated into the VesselAI platform, it enables scalable, enriched data management for advanced AI/ML applications.

Powered by:
✅ enRichMyData – open-source enrichment pipelines
✅ Graph-Massivizer – graph tools & FAIR datasets for massive graph handling
✅ EU Data Space initiatives – for secure, sovereign data sharing

VDCS is setting the standard for smart, interoperable maritime data systems.

TwinShip Innovation 1

🚢 TwinShip Innovation Spotlight: Advanced VesselAI Digital Platform
We're excited to share Innovation 1 of the TwinShip project, the Advanced VesselAI Digital Platform, an open-source solution driving sector-wide collaboration and maritime innovation.

🔍 Current Challenge:
The maritime industry largely relies on proprietary digital platforms, restricting access to external R&D and limiting data sharing. This creates barriers for AI/ML validation and slows innovation across the sector.

🚀 TwinShip’s Breakthrough:
By building on the VesselAI H2020 project, TwinShip is integrating an open, federated, and secure platform into its Digital Twin (DT) and Decision Support System (DSS) framework. Key features include:
âś… Large-scale data processing
âś… Federated data sharing with encryption
âś… Semantic interoperability via shared vocabularies and ontologies

Already running at Institute of Communication and Computer Systems-NTUA, Athens, with expansion to UiT- The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø underway, this platform enables trusted, scalable collaboration among academia, industry, and research, all while ensuring robust data protection and backup strategies.
