%X Following the fourth industrial revolution and recent advances in information and communication technologies, the digital twinning concept is attracting the attention of maritime academia and the maritime industry worldwide. A digital twin is a representation in digital form of a physical item, thing, or system: a vessel, a car, a wind turbine, a power grid, a pipeline, or equipment such as a thruster or an engine. One of the key initiatives at the MAAP is to apply Digital Twin technology in the development of MASS (Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship), e-navigation, ship engine room management, training, and validation of operational concepts associated with smart and autonomous ships. To this end, the progress realized in adapting and exploring digital twin (DT) technologies at MAAP will be presented. In particular, the Kognitwin technology system (a Digital Twin system) developed by Kongsberg Maritime and other systems applicable to decision-making that ensure cost-effective, safer, and sustainable operations will be described. The focus will be placed on using digital twin technology in some of the grey areas: Optimization of Fleet with Virtual Transition of Ship Control System, Enhancing the Port and Terminal Operations, Awareness Situation about Operational Parameters, End-To-End Supply Chain Optimization, Amplified Security Ensuring Safety and Better vessel design and operation.
