MARINE DIGITAL THREAD

Integrated ship design and marine engineering

Deliver innovative designs that satisfy customer requirements and meet performance targets on time and within budget. Use our marine engineering solutions to connect each design stage from concept to production and bring all data into one common environment to streamline the ship design process.

What is integrated ship design and marine engineering?

Avoid obstacles of the traditional ship design process which involves numerous teams using disconnected tools, leading to delays in data sharing and inefficient collaboration. Use an integrated design and engineering approach to bring all your multidisciplinary design processes into one integrated environment, empowering your organization to break down silos and increase overall enterprise productivity.

Rethink your ship design process

Leveraging an integrated design approach allows you to understand and explore every aspect of ship performance from the early stages of design, leading to reduced delivery times and lifecycle costs. Take control of your ship design process with fully integrated solutions.
