Digital twin to decarb LNGCs and FRSUs

The agreement encompasses several projects, including using a common data management platform and developing a maritime digital twin and digital processing models.

“The goal of this partnership is to lead the way in the industry through reducing emissions and proving operational excellence through digitalisation,” said Hege Skryseth, president of Kongsberg Digital and executive vice president of KONGSBERG.

A pilot project aimed at reducing emissions and costs and increasing safety will see a maritime digital twin developed for the BW Magna FRSU, using Kongsberg Digital’s Vessel Insight data infrastructure, Kognifai digital platform and maritime simulators along with applications from Alpha Ori.

BW LNG hopes to close the information gap between ship and shore and be more data-driven in its approach. “By supplementing our extensive operational experience with well-managed data and algorithms we can create more value for all our stakeholders,” said Harald Martin Myhre, head of IT and digitalisation at BW LNG.

Rajesh Unni, co-chief executive of Alpha Ori Technologies said that customers were seeing improvements in efficiencies, fuel savings and decarbonisation through the use of digitalisation. ”The coming together of BW LNG, Kongsberg Digital and Alpha Ori will surely set a leading example of what can be achieved by collaborating with the right partners,” he said.
