Summary
Advanced computational systems are essential to Europe’s competitive advantage in the construction, maintenance, conversion and repair of the world’s most complex, high added value ships. Systems need to feed into competitive production processes as well as support potential changes to a ship design during its entire life-cycle. Νew concepts for a reliable and cost efficient roll-out of advanced platforms and tools are expected to be developed and demonstrated. Furthermore developments should benefit the wider European shipbuilding sector and address the necessary skills development to enable full exploitation of the advanced computation tools.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should develop advanced innovative computational tools for shipbuilding that increase the European sectors competitiveness by addressing all of the following points:
- Facilitate rapid early stage design to support lower risk bid development particularly when integrating innovative new technologies.
- Provide better capital cost estimations and performance predictions, particularly showing the improvements expected from the inclusion of new technologies.
- Tools to be integrated with ship construction and production, as well as considering supply chain management and future maintenance and repair of vessels.
- Address and quantify the competitiveness gains provided by the tool(s) in the context of the wider European shipbuilding sector.
- Ensure that the tool is robust and resilient against cyber threats.
- Identify and address the necessary skills development needed to achieve the maximum benefit from innovative advanced computational shipbuilding tools.
- Develop a business case to quantify the added value from the developed tool to the shipbuilder concerned and within the context of the wider European shipbuilding sector.
