Singapore's Megaport Gets a Living 3‑D Clone

PSA and the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore have launched their Maritime Digital Twin (MDT)—a high‑fidelity, physics‑based model updating every 60 seconds with crane telemetry, berth schedules and depth‑sensor data. In the first month, MDT helped operators resequence two late‑arriving 20 k‑TEU vessels, shaving 9 hours of total berth time and freeing 2,300 truck slots. Officials forecast a 20 % throughput lift once the twin integrates with gate appointment algorithms later this year.
