Abstract

Unchecked corrosion in coastal environments poses a significant threat to marine
ecosystems and the sustainability of the blue economy. It contributes to heavy metal
pollution, disrupts sediment dynamics, and accelerates infrastructure degradation.
Global estimates suggest corrosion could cost 20–30 billion EUR over the lifetime of
marine installations, with 4–10 billion EUR potentially avoidable through better
mitigation practices. Despite advances in infrastructure design, many projects
prioritize functionality over long-term durability, increasing the risk of preventable
corrosion failures. Corrosion protection remains one of the most effective short-term
strategies for enhancing material sustainability. Given the harsh and complex marine
conditions, coordinated efforts among stakeholders—such as asset owners,
regulators, material producers, and engineers—are essential to support informed
decision-making and ensure resilient, long-lasting infrastructure.
The CORRASBlue project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium from 10
countries to tackle this issue head-on through the development of a novel Coastal
Corrosion Risk Management (CCRM) digital twin platform. This platform will integrate
real-time sensor data, environmental parameters, and microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC) insights to support predictive maintenance and lifecycle management
of marine assets. This presentation will showcase how stakeholder feedback is
essential in shaping the requirements, priorities and functionalities of the digital twin
system. Their inputs will not only ensure the final platform will be scientifically robust
but also aligns with real-world operational needs and regulatory frameworks. By
embedding stakeholder perspectives into every phase of development, CORRASBlue
aims to deliver a practical, scalable, and impactful solution for corrosion risk
management—contributing to a more resilient and sustainable blue economy.
