OculloSpace partners with Niantic Spatial to bring Maritime IoT digital twin solutions to Southeast Asia’s maritime sector, improving monitoring, safety, and efficiency.
Singapore-based space education and innovation company OculloSpace partners with Niantic Spatial to bring advanced digital twin technology to the Maritime IoT sector across Southeast Asia. The move aims to improve how ships and maritime operations are monitored, analysed, and managed using real-time virtual models.
Through this collaboration, OculloSpace will provide high-precision digital twin solutions that create detailed virtual replicas of ships and maritime environments. These digital models closely reflect practical conditions almost in real time, offering operators a clearer and more accurate view of vessel performance and surroundings. This makes OculloSpace one of the first companies in Singapore to introduce such high-level accuracy for maritime use.
Dr Franco Gan, Founder and CEO of OculloSpace stated that by combining their capabilities with Niantic Spatial’s technology, they are bringing greater visibility and real-time intelligence to maritime operations. He noted that maritime transport handles over 80% of global trade and that Southeast Asia plays a major role in global shipping routes. He added that digital twins can help operators optimize assets while improving safety and supporting more sustainable operations.
The platform works by collecting data from onboard IoT sensors installed on ships. This data is continuously processed to imitate the vessel’s condition, movement and overall performance. As a result, maritime operators can monitor their assets remotely, run simulations and evaluate performance without interrupting everyday operations.
With centimeter-level accuracy, the system supports several key functions. It enables predictive maintenance by identifying potential technical issues before they become serious problems. It also helps improve operational efficiency, reducing downtime and unnecessary costs. In addition, operators can test different scenarios in a virtual setting before applying changes in real-world conditions. The technology is expected to benefit shipyards, fleet operators, and port authorities by improving safety, boosting efficiency and supporting training programs.
OculloSpace is currently showcasing its solutions at Singapore Maritime Week 2026, held at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre until April 23, 2026.
According to Business Fortune, this collaboration marks a strong step toward smarter, safer, and more connected maritime operations powered by IoT and digital twins, as the industry moves into a more data-driven future.
