DYNAPORT: Dynamic Navigation and Port Call Optimisation in Real Time
The Dynamic navigation and port call optimisation in real time (DYNAPORT) project targets the problem of decarbonization of maritime transport by developing new tools for ports and ships that reduce the ship's fuel consumption and increase port efficiency.
Efficient and viable voyage and port call optimization requires increased cooperation between parties and overcoming several important barriers such as charter parties and contracts enabling just-in-time arrivals and more explicit risk/benefit sharing, improved transparency and reduced cyber-security risks, and reliable and efficient voyage and port call information sharing among all parties.
Simula's work in DYNAPORT focuses on new optimisation methods for port calls and ship routes, with the end goal of developing an integrated end-to-end voyage optimisation tool that enables a minimum 10% energy use reduction for the ship voyage and port call.
Final goal
DYNAPORT aims to develop new optimization and coordination tools for ports and ships that reduce the ship's fuel consumption and increase port efficiency. The tools will be built on information sharing through internationally accepted protocol standards and communication systems.
