AVEVA announces new
sustainable software capabilities
for ship engineering and design
AVEVA, a global leader in
engineering and industrial software,
has announced an important
update to its AVEVA E3D design software
that addresses the specific needs of the
marine sector. Designed with the most
up-to-date user interface principles and
best practices, intuitive and easy to use
AVEVA E3D Design software combines the
latest three-dimensional graphics and user
interface technologies with state-of-the-art
data management.
/////////////////////////////
This software increases shipping vessel
design and accelerates retrofits of ships
to reduce emissions. The new capabilities
demonstrate AVEVA’s continued proactive
innovation for the International Maritime
Organisation’s new emissions regulations,
IMO 2020, providing new tools to anticipate
market needs and offering new capabilities
and greater efficiency.
AVEVA delivers greater efficiency for
ship engineering and design
Technology for new shipping vessels is
rapidly changing as companies consolidate,
regulations become ever more rigorous and
shipyards globally face challenges from
increasing competition.
Shipbuilding excellence is heavily reliant on
design-to-production, agility and efficiency
across all project streams, effective resource
management and design quality leading to
right-first-time, error-free production.
AVEVA’s new capabilities tailored to
the marine sector will address these
requirements and also include the first
release of the AVEVA Hull Basic Design
Module. This module is used for the
preliminary design of a ship’s hull structure,
and supports key decisions regarding

naval architectural characteristics, space
management, outfitting design and
drawings. AVEVA’s new module represents
the most integrated 3D environment for
working with as-built and as-designed data
in the marine market.
Ravi Gopinath, COO, AVEVA, said: “With this
latest software release, AVEVA is responding
to the ever-growing and changing needs of
ship owners and shipyards the world over.
“Meeting sustainability goals, maximising
business agility and improving operational
performance calls for integrated design and
engineering tools that can streamline the
process, improve speed and remove cost
and complexity to rapidly address these
market imperatives.
“Using our new software, marine operators
will now be able to realise up to 40% gains
in engineering efficiency while moving to
operating paradigms that will ultimately help
protect the environment.”
AVEVA is a market leader in threedimensional
design and engineering
software and works with the world’s top 10
shipyards and vessel owners.
This latest software innovation builds on the
recent AVEVA Unified Engineering launch
which introduced capabilities bringing
together design and engineering data with
3D design tools for industrial users. •
