A Joint Industry Project (JIP) for platform of ship digital twin[SDT] is proposed. Combining the technological advantages of both parties, the goal of the project is to build a dynamic virtual twin system for ships with autonomous learning and evolutionary capabilities, encompassing multiple dimensions, multiple time-space scales, multiple states, and multiple physical quantities, with autonomous vessel digital remote support control as the core. This system aims to break through key technologies in ship autonomous navigation control, remote operation status monitoring and diagnostics, proactive prediction and optimization of operational status, remote maintenance and deep interaction, complex environmental situation inference, and multi-vessel global coordinated operation. Through application and demonstration validation on research and experimental vessels, the project aims to achieve remote remote control and virtual autonomous navigation in operational sea areas, as well as automated berthing and unberthing, collision avoidance, and route planning, among other objectives.

结合多方技术优势，构建具备自主学习和进化能力的船舶多维、多时空尺度、多状态、多物理量的动态虚拟数字孪生系统，突破船舶自主航行控制、远程运行状态监测与诊断、运行状态超前推演与优化、远程运维及深度交互、复杂环境态势协助推演、多船全局协同操控等数字孪生关键技术，并依托试验船进行应用验证，实现特定海域虚拟自主航行、靠离泊、自动避碰和航线规划等目标。

CONSTRUCTION PLAN | 建设方案

哈工程提供数字孪生研发引擎。引擎基于自主提出的SDT-FMI标准，哈工程、武汉理工、大连海事、华科以及国外相关单位共同构建智能船舶数字化模型库、构建智能船舶运行数据库，智能船舶模型自主迭代算法库。形成完整运行生态，推动平台完善，模型库的完善，最终具备标准发布的条件。

Harbin Engineering University provides a digital twin R&D engine based on the self-proposed SDT-FMI standard. Together with Wuhan University of Technology, Dalian Maritime University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, as well as relevant foreign institutions, we will jointly build a digital model library for smart ships, construct an operational database for smart ships, and develop an autonomous iteration algorithm library for smart ship models. This will form a complete operational ecosystem, promote the improvement of the platform and the model library, and ultimately create the conditions for standard publication.

CONSTRUCTION OBJECTIVES | 建设目标

· 项目所提出的SDT-FMI标准得到国际同行认可，项目所开发的船舶数字孪生引擎经过国内外同行试用迭代，达到可广泛推广能力。

· 成员单位基于平台支持，积累和完善自身的数字模型库，提升各自在船舶数字孪生领域的技术水平和影响力。

· 推动数字孪生技术在船舶领域的进一步发展。

· The SDT-FMI standard proposed by the project has been recognized by international peers, and the ship digital twin engine developed by the project has undergone trials and iterations by domestic and foreign peers, achieving the capability for widespread promotion.

· Based on the platform support, member will accumulate and improve their own digital model libraries, enhancing their technical level and influence in the field of ship digital twins.

· This will drive the further development of digital twin technology in the maritime sector
