Shipbuilding is a unique industry

Shipbuilding is different from any other industry. Because ships are engineered before the design is approved and built before the engineering is complete it’s crucial that your design and engineering teams can focus on shipbuilding, and not on managing change.

Empowering the Business of Shipbuilding

Shipbuilding is unlike any other industry, and our software is built with that in mind. The solutions SSI develops empower shipbuilders to solve the biggest challenges they face and focus on what they do best – shipbuilding.

Empowered Engineering

Engineering information is a shipbuilder’s most important asset. Getting that information to fit your business means using a solution that is built to handle shipbuilding’s unique challenges throughout each stage of a vessel’s lifecycle.

Synchronized Shipbuilding

When engineering information smoothly drives all the other departments, tools, and processes, it leaves you truly in control of the information available to you. For your organization, that also means the freedom to make business decisions without putting current or future projects at risk.
