Transitioning towards Resilient Multimodal Corridors using Digital Twinning

What a beautiful weather! Sun only, no rain! But.... this is exactly the weather which brings our partners in problems since the canal has a too low water level for all the - heavy- ships to transport their freight in. Over the last weeks we have thus been confronted with the situation the digital twin is originally intended for, and the researchers working on the tool have appreciated all the insights shared by the industrial stakeholders, shippers and skippers. We are also grateful for the expertise and data provided by our public partners, like the Province of Overijssel, the Ports of Twente and Zwolle and of course Rijkswaterstaat who possesses a great amount of valuable data on which the platform can be built. It is true teamwork!

Next to the monthly online meetings during which there is a quick but fruitful exchange of updates on the projects, the consortium partners also try to meet in person every quartile as to learn more on the daily practice of the hosting partner. This time, the consortium was welcomed at Nobian and we enjoyed a very thoroughly organized tour around the plant, of course ending up at the laoading of the ships.
