New Maritime AI Innovation Lab Targets Improved Ship Design and Operations
A consortium of Damen, TU Delft, SafeSystems, RH Marine, NHL Stenden University of Applied Science and MARIN kicked off the Maritime AI Innovation Lab. This new lab provides a unique and modular development environment for the entire maritime industry and aims to improve designs and operations of future ships.Its broad approach includes physical modeling and measurements on scale models, simulators and in actual operations. These are combined with the latest AI techniques to achieve reliable and trustworthy AI models.
Houlder Joins COMLink Project for More Efficient Vessel Designs
Houlder, a design and engineering consultancy, has entered into collaboration with Siem Shipping UK and the University of Southampton on the COMLink Design Tool project, which aims to improve predictions of wave resistance in early-stage ship design to deliver more efficient vessel operations. The Conceptual, Operational, Modelling Linked (COMLink) Design Tool project has been established to tackle the challenge of accurately predicting the added power needed for ships to operate effectively in waves.
