By digitalising our knowledge of characteristics, components and ship processes we can establish links even faster. Something we already experience and take advantage of.” Advantages of digital knowledge management: speedĪbout the advantages Stroo tells: “Together with Shipbuilder we created a tool that allows us to develop a ship design faster starting from a high level of abstraction and client preferred attributes. But with all our knowledge centrally stored, Shipbuilder is saving us a lot of time in the design process. In cooperation with Shipbuilder we have developed a company specific environment where we can safely document our knowledge of ship design, requirements and component properties.” Manschot adds: “Structuring and populating this environment of course takes time.

Of course, we are ship designers working one abstraction level higher, but the set-up of the software forms an excellent basis. The software is already developed to specifically structure and document ships and ship building processes. We deemed Shipbuilder to be most fit for our purposes. Daman: “We started talking to Shipbuilder about how we could store our knowledge and make it accessible in a smarter way. This is why we changed to digital knowledge management in partnership with Shipbuilder a few years back.” Shift to Digital Knowledge Managementĭigital knowledge management is a relatively new development in the maritime sector. However, in the current digital era the methods to collect data and make it easily available have improved a lot. Daman: “For sharing and storing knowledge the maritime sector still often uses Word and Excel. Their knowledge and experience are key to the development of complex vessels for a diverse range of applications and working environments, in a relatively small period of time and often for ships that have never been designed nor built before. How does Ulstein go about successful and suitable ship design? Bart Daman, Ko Stroo and Dolf Manschot, project manager/naval architects at Ulstein Design & Solutions BV, face this challenge on a daily basis.
