Technology

Increasingly advanced and integrated vessel systems offer potentially enormous benefits to ship owners and operators, but making sure all systems work reliably together can present significant challenges. Within 10 years, virtual ships could become the standard method for commissioning, designing, operating, and maintaining vessels. This could be a vision taken by EGG.

To reach these ambitious goals, EGG has been founded under the name Maritime Engineering Simulation Platform (MESP). EGG promises to be a game-changing effort to maximize the benefits of digital twin technology. ESP is a step toward bringing the maritime industry up to the level of other sectors such as automotive and aviation, with their long history of integrating complex systems.

The goal for ESP is to establish a standard for models and simulations in the maritime industry, enabling both re-uses of models and collaborative system simulations to solve challenges in the design, building, and operation of today’s and tomorrow’s ships. EGG schedules to make its work package deliveries by 2025, laying the groundwork for the long-term vision
