Digitalization has become a key aspect of making the maritime industries more innovative, efficient and fit for future operations. The IHB department of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology is pioneered toward the direction and has implemented a digital twin of a research vessel, aiming to generate a digital replica of its physical counterpart for monitoring, onboard support and operation evaluation. The twin system lumps all information from different sensors, components, models and sub-systems to represent physical behaviours. Considering the complexity of the system and uncertainties from environment, it is necessary to maintain the twin system to keep its accuracy at an acceptable range while reducing the cost of system update. Therefore, how to conduct system analysis, testing and updating to the twin system is of great importance.
