Fujitsu and the Port of Barcelona, ​​Spain, are conducting a demonstration experiment using a marine digital twin to digitally recreate ocean conditions and predict changes in the Port of Barcelona.
The experiment aims to restore the marine environment, protect biodiversity, and promote the blue economy. Utilizing Fujitsu’s marine digital twin technology, the experiment will centrally manage all information related to port biodiversity and build an integrated digital platform that enables long-term monitoring.
Based on the results of the demonstration experiment, the two companies will verify the effectiveness of environmental measures before they are implemented in the integrated digital platform. Furthermore, they will consider adding a “what-if” simulation function to help prioritize investments based on actual impacts.
This simulation function will enable port authorities to identify priority areas for conservation and areas suitable for environmental restoration and rehabilitation by building highly accurate digital models, promoting the design of sustainable infrastructure and operations while balancing port activities with the conservation of the natural environment.
Efforts to protect and restore the marine environment are accelerating, with the EU adopting the Nature Restoration Act in 2024, which mandates the restoration of marine ecosystems.
