Customer Requirements and Maritime Regulations

Every marine asset must meet all requirements as defined by the owner while complying with classification rules and maritime regulations. Not only must shipbuilders be able to manage, validate, and document compliance properly, they also need to manage change. Customer specifications continue to evolve even after the contract has been signed. It is therefore critical to be able to quickly and accurately assess the impact of these changes and manage them efficiently. So is the need to constantly integrate new regulations for maritime safety, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability in areas such as emissions control, ship material recycling, ballast water management and waste disposal. Failure to do so can be costly, causing fines or delays, and damaging in terms of image and reputation.

Satisfy complex and changing requirements:

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides marine and offshore companies with a formal methodology to capture, manage, and track customer, regulatory and classification requirements with full traceability throughout an asset lifecycle to ensure that they are all properly addressed and documented. By adopting Model-Based Engineering, shipbuilders are able to effectively manage compliance to requirements, analyze the impact of requirement changes, reduce rework and overall cost, and ultimately deliver ships with enhanced quality and reliability.
