DESIGN/PRODUCTION INTEGRATION

The multiple challenges posed by ever-increasing ship sizes, technical complexity, skyrocketing material and construction costs, plus several recently introduced design requirements such as double hulls and extensive waste treatment systems, have combined to create an increasingly involved and complicated shipbuilding environment. This paper addresses steps taken to increase design and construction effectiveness through use of a shared three- dimensional database. An improved ability to successfully compete in the highly competitive international shipbuilding market is demonstrated.
