This document is a result of the COOCK project "Smart Port 2025: improving and accelerating the operational efficiency of a harbour eco-system through the application of intelligent technologies". It reports on the needs of companies for modelling and simulation and AI-based techniques, with twinning systems in particular. This document categorizes the purposes and Properties of Interest for the use of Digital Twins. It further illustrates some of the twinning usages, and touches on some of the potential architectural compositions for twins. This last topic will be further elaborated in a followup report.
