Objective 7: Optimize Design/Operational Efficiency & Environmental Performance with DSS
(A tool that turns DT model insights into actionable strategies for ship designers, owners, and operators for short to long-term ship lifecycle decisions, including AI-driven voyage optimization, environmental impact assessment (EIA), and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) within a simulated environment.)
Rationale: Enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing environmental footprint are crucial for complying with IMO regulations and attaining sustainability objectives in the maritime sector, both currently and in foreseeable future scenarios.
Expected Outcomes: Significant reductions in design and operational costs, fuel usage, and GHG emissions achieved through the onboard and onshore modules of the DT-enabled DSS framework, towards zero emission vessels.
