The joint project will develop a next-generation ship design and information management solution, which will also embed a product lifecycle management (PLM) system
Bureau Veritas, the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) and NAPA have completed the first phase of a Joint Development Project (JDP) to enable 3D model-based approvals for the classification of ships.
Damen, DNV and NAPA are taking a major step forward in ship design processes by using the new Open Class 3D Exchange (OCX) standard to streamline classification involvement in the early phase of a project.
Through the use of 3D models created in NAPA Steel, the move optimizes the design and rule check process, saving time and resources, while making class approval more efficient.
This partnership aims to make critical safety training more accessible, convenient, and efficient for crews, increasing the number of seafarers receiving such training.
Joint simulation project among NAPA, Norsepower and Sumitomo analyzes the benefits of combining wind propulsion with voyage optimization to deliver maximum emissions reduction potential.
Damen Engineering will implement 3D Classification for further designs after first end-to-end trial with a dredger vessel demonstrates efficiency gains and time savings.
NAPA Stability eLearning to be delivered to 500 participants every year to support crews and enhance maritime safety in the fast-evolving technology landscape.
Type approval makes it simpler for vessels to adopt new generation of leading stability platform, which enables better real-time data sharing and multi-user collaboration.
Integration of route planning software will improve operational performance, reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions while contributing to safe and efficient navigation.
