The MaritimeTwin project, developed by CGI, Maritime UK, and Heriot-Watt University (IDRIC) will deliver an innovative digital twin and satellite technology solution for the maritime sector, focused on vessel route optimisation and environmental impact assessment.
The project, backed by UK Government funding, aims to cut shipping emissions in the Maritime sector by up to 15%. Using CGI’s digital twin and satellite data technology to help vessels choose smarter, greener routes – supporting the UK’s Clean Maritime Plan and net-zero goals.
Green shipping corridors (GSCs) have the potential to convert UK’s ambition to reduce lifecycle maritime GHG emissions into deployment by aligning fuel choices, port infrastructure, finance and governance on specific routes. This GSCs white paper synthesises: impact opportunities, UK corridors mapping plans, and proposed guidance for the delivery and financing blueprint of UK corridors.
Maritime decarbonisation presents a complex systems challenge requiring coordinated change across ports, vessels, digital infrastructure, and international governance arrangements. This briefing document presents a comprehensive literature review on pathways to UK maritime decarbonisation, synthesising evidence from international research, policy frameworks and industry practice to inform the MaritimeTwin project.
The MaritimeTwin project is underpinned by strong partnerships across the commercial, research, and maritime industries. With lead project partners, Maritime UK and IDRIC (Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre), CGI aims to foster close collaboration for rapid development and implementation to solve one of the biggest challenges facing the maritime sector.
