Technology advancements within shipbuilding are making a big impact in the industry. No longer are the days of using pencil and paper for vessel design. In recent years, shipbuilding design software has evolved towards integrated solutions that streamline the entire shipbuilding lifecycle which includes design, engineering, manufacturing, and project management functions. There is augmented reality, virtual reality, digital twins, and simulation, to name a few. This sophisticated technology can even allow engineers to work on a project simultaneously from different areas around the globe.
Artificial intelligence and automation are beginning to redefine the global maritime industry, launching autonomous ships and revolutionizing ship design and operations. These developments are driven by pressures to keep costs low, increase efficiency, improve safety elements, and meet new sustainability regulations.
