Imagine giving every ship a digital birth certificate that tracks every piece of metal and part used to build it. This project creates a digital map of shipyards to spot where energy is wasted and how to recycle materials better. It is like a fitness tracker for a shipyard, showing exactly where it can cut emissions and save resources.
Shipyards suffer from high energy waste, inefficient material use, and a lack of standardized data to track the environmental impact of non-operational activities.
A digital twin shipyard model for energy and waste management, a Shipyard Environmental Performance Index (SEPI), and an EU-material passport for tracking ship components.
If you are a shipyard operator dealing with high energy costs and waste management issues — this project developed a digital twin model that monitors energy and emissions to identify specific areas for cost reduction.
If you are a port manager dealing with carbon footprints of docked vessels — this project developed electrification and logistics optimization tools that reduce non-operational environmental impacts.
If you are a recycling company dealing with unknown material compositions in old ships — this project developed an EU-material passport that tracks the origin and use of materials for easier disassembly.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the digital tools and material passports are not provided.
The project involves 10 industry partners across 11 countries, indicating it is being designed for industrial application, though it is currently in the research and innovation phase.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding the licensing terms or patent status of the developed digital twins and indices.
It provides a Shipyard Environmental Performance Index (SEPI) and KPIs to monitor carbon footprints and meet EU environmental and climate goals.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, suggesting the development and testing phase is ongoing.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 10 industry partners representing 62% of the group. This strong commercial presence, spanning 11 countries and including 3 SMEs, suggests the resulting tools (like the material passport and SEPI index) are being built for immediate practical use in real-world shipyards rather than purely academic research.
