Naval Architect connects stakeholders over a browser-based cloud platform to collectively work on a digital representation of a ship – including all relevant information throughout the project lifecycle. The benefits of this digital twin model are increased efficiency and data consistency, minimizing the risks for time delay and planning errors.

Naval Architect’s vision is a comprehensive digitization of the shipbuilding industry – from ship design over manufacturing to subsequent ship operation – based on a central database and a shared digital ship model. We call this vision:

Ship Information Modeling (SIM)

The SIM – a database that contains all the information about a ship – is continuously maintained throughout the ship’s life and is the essential source of information (BIM for shipbuilding). By streamlining the design process and by offering a digital and collaborative approach, we believe that our ship design software can significantly reduce the overall risks in shipbuilding projects.
