Integrated Digital Platform for Marine Energy Management

Marine transportation plays a crucial role in global commerce, yet its environmental impact remains a concern. This paper proposes a draft architecture for a maritime digital platform, with a focus on optimizing ship energy systems to enhance sustainability. A key component of the proposed platform architecture is the integration of digital models with real-time data and predictive analytics, providing operators with valuable insights into energy consumption, battery health, and distribution management. By facilitating informed decision-making, the proposed platform aims to enhance system performance, durability, and environmental responsibility. Sensitive maritime data is protected through the implementation of advanced security protocols and encryption techniques, ensuring adherence to recognized industry cybersecurity standards. This paper introduces the fundamental components of the proposed digital platform, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize ship energy management and contribute to a more sustainable maritime industry.
