The modelling will support shipping companies as they aim for a net-zero emissions industry.
Artificial Intelligence technologies from the University of Southampton are helping to deliver more efficient shipping by providing insights, derived from millions of simulations, on the most effective strategies to achieve net-zero targets.
The research collaboration with Shell Shipping and Maritime analyses carbon tax scenarios before predicting the impact of green strategies such as adjusting voyage routes, installing energy efficient technologies and applying carbon offset incentives. The model is intended to provide information and support as shipping companies aim for a net-zero emissions industry.
Southampton AI experts including Professor Gopal Ramchurn and Dr Enrico Gerding are building a large scale agent-based simulation system that models and simulates elements of the shipping industry.
