AI and Digital Twin-Based Maritime Route Optimization Navigation Platform

AI and Digital Twin-Based Maritime Route Optimization Navigation Platform
Global maritime transport faces complex issues such as ship collisions, environmental regulations, and route congestion. Existing navigation systems struggle with real-time big data analysis, making them vulnerable to human error and weather changes, and are inadequate for addressing carbon regulations. Especially in extreme conditions like Arctic routes, information scarcity limits the ability to ensure ship safety.
Mapsea is a platform that integrates and analyzes data from over 2.6 million ships using a real-time maritime digital twin. It provides advance warnings of route collision risks using millimeter-level RTK location information and HF data-based predictive AI, and suggests optimal routes that can reduce fuel consumption by up to 15%. It also enables safe navigation in the Arctic Sea by reflecting polar data such as ice and ocean currents. Functioning as the "6th sense of the ocean" rather than a simple navigation system, it simultaneously improves environment, safety, and efficiency.
Shipping companies and maritime logistics companies are the main customers (B2B). Port operating organizations, maritime safety authorities, and international logistics alliances (B2G) are also highly interested. The Mapsea platform is likely to be purchased by large shipping companies and logistics firms as a cost-saving and safety management tool.
It can be applied anywhere in global shipping with route and ship data, and can be expanded not only to ice routes but also to general maritime and coastal transport. There is significant potential for expansion into carbon emission monitoring and regulatory compliance solutions in line with 강화된 ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations. However, the accuracy of collected data, shipping regulations of each country (e.g., tanker cargo regulations), and international cooperation methods are variables for adoption.
The technology has been recognized with consecutive awards from CES and the media. On-site, significantly improved results such as "24x improved monitoring" were emphasized. The technical completeness is relatively high, with pilot tests underway at some shipping companies, and global verification through winning the PIER71 AI Challenge. Market expectations are very high. However, as a high value-added B2B solution, the price and adoption scale are large, which may slow initial adoption. Some suggest that shipping companies may hesitate to replace existing systems.
