Inspiration session: circular ship design
How can we make ships stay relevant longer in fast changing times? That is the key question for this session. We want to see how ship information can be stored centrally so that ships can be upgraded and re-purposed quickly and efficiently.
What if ships could be...
- More effective: Utilize vessels to their maximum potential
- Easily upgradable: Seamlessly adapt to the latest technologies
- Worth more: Maintain their worth over time and have a higher residual value
- Used longer: Expand the lifespan
- Adaptable to change: Lead the way in our energy transition
- Driving the circular economy: Contribute to carbo neutrality and green shipping
Inspired by Cocreative systems in the building sector (BIM) and in aerospace, would it be possible to design Ship Information Systems that are the basis for digital twins of ships and can be used to codesign and cocreate ship upgrades as new technology becomes available.
