The Twin provides shipowners and charterers with improved performance insights.<\/p>\n<p>With its Digital Twin technology, We4Sea builds a digital sister vessel with all relevant technical characteristics of the real vessel. This data is enriched from other sources, such as data on speed, draught, weather conditions, wave heights, currents and wind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Optimising vessel efficiency <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Digital Twin transforms this big data pool into actionable management information. The technology does not require onboard hardware installation and is therefore ideal for charterers, such as Unifeeder, according to We4Sea. <\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"block block-related-article\">\n<div class=\"card-rich \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.offshore-energy.biz\/we4sea-rolls-out-big-data-fuel-monitoring-platform\/\" class=\"card__lazyload card-rich__image lazyload\" data-bgset=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"card-placeholder\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.offshore-energy.biz\/inc\/themes\/navingo\/dist\/images\/background_waves_320_OE.svg\" class=\"card-placeholder__image\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card-rich__element card-rich__time-ago\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Posted:<\/span> over 3 years ago\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"card-rich__content\">\n<div class=\"card-rich__partner-label\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"card-rich__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.offshore-energy.biz\/we4sea-rolls-out-big-data-fuel-monitoring-platform\/\" class=\"card-rich__link\" aria-label=\"Read more about: We4Sea Rolls Out Big Data Fuel Monitoring Platform\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tWe4Sea Rolls Out Big Data Fuel Monitoring Platform<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<div class=\"card-rich__element card-rich__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"card-category-list no-list\">\n<li class=\"card-category-list__item\">Business &amp; Finance<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"card__element card-rich__time-ago\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Posted:<\/span> over 3 years ago\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The solution is said to support full transparency.
