Sustainable maritime transport

In 2020, the European market for electric ships was sized at about 1.8 billion euros. The market will grow almost threefold between 2020 and 2030, reaching 5.27 billion euros. COSMIC will get ports ready for this future energy demand, by implementing smart charging solutions in ports, in line with actual energy demand, location of demand and appropriate distribution over time.

This pilot focuses on developing a decision support system for optimising on-shore power supply infrastructure in ports by combining advanced spatial models and energy consumption forecasting to support the maritime sector's transition to cleaner, smarter energy use. 

Core technologies:

  1. Energy‑Grid Optimisation Microservices
  2. iHelm, digital twin platform for sustainable and operational efficient maritime industry

AI solutions from Third Parties: 

  • BESS & OPS energy digital twin 

  • Probabilistic forecasting service for baseline loads 

  • BESS Sizing tool 

Problem addressed: Planning efficient onshore charging infrastructure for ports, considering complex maritime conditions and spatial constraints. 

Expected outcomes: Improved energy planning and efficiency in port operations, Accelerated transition to cleaner maritime mobility.
