Shipbuilding is different from any other industry, even from those that also build big things. Ships and offshore structures are typically already being engineered before the design is approved and built before the engineering is complete.

Denis Morais, SSI CEO
Even between sister ships of the same class, no two vessels are the same. This means that pre-existing engineering work, and already built sections, need to be considered when changes that need to be made are handed down.
If you’re a shipbuilding executive, you’ll already be closely familiar with the challenges you face within your industry, so make sure to look out for solutions for and insight into the problems you encounter every day. For those who have had less exposure to shipbuilding, this eBook will provide you with a fantastic overview of why the more unique aspects of shipbuilding demand shipbuilding specific solutions.
