The Port of Rotterdam is leveraging digital twin technology to establish itself as the world's first fully digital and intelligent port by 2030. This initiative is a part of the port’s long-term Port Vision 2030 plan, aimed at optimizing operations within a vast 41-square-mile area that serves approximately 30,000 vessels annually. Using IBM’s IoT and AI technologies, the port has deployed a network of sensors to monitor critical environmental parameters in real-time, including water salinity, flow, tides, and currents, as well as air quality and weather conditions. Data collected by these sensors is integrated into a digital twin—a virtual model of the port—that enables predictive analytics, helping to improve efficiency in vessel docking and departure schedules, cargo management, and overall port throughput.
