Shipbuilder Sustainability Knowledge Base
Shipbuilder makes sustainable design, construction, maintenance and ultimate scrapping of a ship easy and within reach. Shipbuilder has taken the next step in the field of maritime sustainability with the implementation of a Knowledge Base for sustainability requirements in the software.
In the Sustainability Knowledge Base, Shipbuilder users can easily enter or import the sustainability requirements for the design, construction or refit of a ship in order to achieve a sustainable passport. The software checks whether the ship continues to comply with the sustainability requirements – from a proposal to a design, and from a design to the construction. Click here to read more.
