Abstract
This chapter presents three applications of digital twin in shipping, namely the predictive maintenance of ship machinery, cargo load area cleaning, and hull biofouling treatment. The chapter discusses the business importance of each of these applications and surveys the current state of the art practices. The chapter then illustrates novel approaches that utilise digital twins and bring improvements in terms of costs, safety, and environmental impact.
