Thanks to its solid and powerful development platform, FORAN gives you all the latest advantages of ship design software. Discover FORAN's technological innovations in shipbuilding and in hardware and software.

  • Flexible: It is supremely adaptable, providing shipyards of any size and type with customized solutions to design and produce all kinds of vessels. Its modular structure allows it to be implemented flexibly and gradually.
  • Ideal for modeling, drawing, and producing reports: It features full 2D drafting functionality and unique 3D model capabilities, with robust part modeling, 2D-3D transparency, assembly management, simulations, and product information management, all in a single database of the complete ship model.
  • Easy to use: Thanks to the simplicity of its graphic interface and its specific focus on shipbuilding, FORAN is a system that designers can easily learn, implement, and use with minimum support.
  • Reliable: It generates accurate and reliable shop-floor ready information for the manufacture and assembly of individual structures or for outfitting elements.
  • Efficient: The cost of materials and labor can be significantly reduced while production quality is enhanced, thanks to FORAN’s integration of every discipline and design phase and because it automatically generates customized shop-floor information.
  • Collaborative engineering: It allows collaborative engineering to take place between shipyards, engineering firms, and subcontractors, either in a concurrent or a distributed environment. This way, it eliminates the risk of incompatibility and simplifies design team coordination.
  • Open: The data exchange with other technical and management systems is simple, thanks to the open structure of the FORAN database and the system architecture that uses standard or customized interfaces.
