Frequently Asked Questions — Marine Solutions
What types of marine solutions are covered on this page?
Cybersecurity platforms for vessels and ports, vessel performance and fleet management software, digital twin and simulation systems, regulatory compliance tools (CII, EEXI, IMO DCS), maritime connectivity solutions (VSAT, LEO satellite), and smart ship / autonomous vessel systems.
How does CII compliance affect ship operators in 2026?
The CII rating system (A–E, in force since January 2023) tightens correction factors annually. By 2026, vessels that were compliant in 2023 may require operational changes or technical solutions — route optimization software, trim management, or engine tuning — to maintain acceptable ratings.
What is a maritime digital twin?
A real-time virtual model of a vessel using live sensor data. Used for predictive maintenance, performance optimization (actual vs. optimal fuel consumption), crew training in realistic virtual environments, and shipyard-phase design verification.
