Adopt a multiphysics approach to enhance marine performance engineering. Leverage simulation and testing solutions to innovate ship design processes and meet customer needs, performance targets and environmental regulations.
The new marine environmental regulations call for more fuel-efficient powertrains, new power sources, innovative hull designs and the use of energy-saving devices. Digitalization is key to being a leader in this race to compliance. Engineer innovation faster and more efficiently by closing the gaps between people, technologies and processes.
Enhancing hydrodynamics performance, DNV increased hull efficiency by 36 percent without sacrificing capacity, resulting in $3M annual fuel savings per ship. (DNV)
Deploying simulation to develop energy-saving devices to satisfy efficiency demands, Becker Marine Systems reduced CO2 emissions by 1,000 tons per year for a typical bulk carrier. (Becker Marine Systems)
Robert Allan Ltd. increased their report submissions for certification by 200% in a year and obtained global classification society approval for new certification workflows. (Robert Allan Ltd.)
Implement simulation and test strategies using marine engineering software to tackle challenges in electrification, autonomous navigation, safety, energy efficiency, system integration, interconnectivity and operational costs.
Exploring and evaluating multiple systems designs and analyzing their performance early in development through simulation is key to success.
Leveraging complex models to explore the design space thoroughly, saving time and gaining valuable insights into real-world performance is vital before finalizing the design.
Delivering an accurate digital twin for fast performance validation with multiphysics testing is crucial to satisfy customer requirements and global regulations.

As the marine industry faces increasing pressure to adhere to sustainability legislation regulations and meet customer performance requirements, marine engineering software empowers shipbuilders to develop new ships that meet innovation targets in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner. To succeed, companies need to integrate engineering domains, methods and tools effectively. The comprehensive digital twin, with simulation and testing at its core, is pivotal to transforming marine performance engineering to rapidly develop, optimize and introduce new concepts to market.
To be compliant and to meet the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) strategy to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, the industry will be focusing on multiple performance indicators that pose new design and engineering challenges.
With simulation, naval architects and marine engineers can create a digital twin to virtually represent the ship, predict performance and investigate the impact of changes early in the design cycle in real-world operation conditions. This virtual approach improves the effectiveness of the search for the best energy-efficiency solutions and speeds up the design and retrofit process. Once the ship is in operation, the digital twin also benefits from the data feedback thread, such as from sea trials and mission profiles.
Classification societies are early adopters of powering simulation and recognize this integrated approach to provide valuable and informed insights into powering options with different fuel combinations. Ship owners are starting to recognize the value of having in-house capabilities to analyze, understand and adjust performance at individual vessel or fleet levels by evaluating different propulsion configurations and identifying the most efficient one.
Digitalization is changing marine industry trends and competitive advantages. To stay competitive, companies use digitalization to optimize existing fleets and manage resources and energy consumption. Becoming fully digitalized also enhances team productivity and reduces overall product lifecycle costs, enabling a faster time-to-market delivery. But how?
It is essential to introduce an integrated virtual simulation toolkit to maritime engineering as it serves as a single source of truth in your digital journey, enabling the user to push the boundaries of vessel design.
A holistic digital twin can be used to support engineering efficiency when taking a conceptualization to detailed design. Digitalization can help connect the physical and virtual world, from initial to production design, maritime automation systems or engineering and consultancy services to support deployment. A multiphysics approach is key to integrating hydrodynamics, structural integrity, propulsion systems and environmental considerations.
