New Digital Approach Targets Ammonia Risks on Ships

A new digital twin-based system aims to mitigate ammonia risks on ships, a critical concern for the shipping industry.

The new system, developed by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, uses digital twins to simulate ammonia leaks and their effects on ships.

The digital twins are created by combining data from various sources, including sensors, weather forecasts, and ship design.

The system can predict the likelihood of ammonia leaks and provide recommendations for mitigating risks, such as installing ammonia-resistant materials or adjusting ship operations.
