Digital Twin has announced the rollout of its groundbreaking digital twin
solutions specifically tailored for the maritime sector, marking a new era for
ships and the broader maritime industry in Iran. This initiative, launched in
collaboration with the Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO), aims to optimize
vessel performance, safety, and sustainability through real-time virtual
modeling.
Digital twin technology creates a virtual replica of physical ships, integrating data from sensors, weather systems, and operational logs to simulate scenarios, predict failures, and streamline maintenance. The company's entry into this field addresses key challenges in Iran's maritime operations, such as aging fleets, fuel inefficiency, and navigational risks in busy waterways like the Persian Gulf. "Our maritime digital twins enable predictive analytics for engine health, route optimization, and even crew training simulations," explained project lead Engineer Dr. Mohamad Izadkhah. "By starting with pilot projects on cargo vessels, we're helping reduce downtime by up to 30% and cut emissions, aligning with international standards like IMO 2020."
The technology's debut comes at a time when global shipping faces supply chain volatility and environmental regulations. Iran Digital Twin's solutions are already being tested on select ships operated by
the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), with plans to expand to offshore platforms and port management. This move not only bolsters Iran's position in global trade but also positions the company as a leader in tech-driven maritime innovation.
