Why Shipyards Choose ShipConstructor
Shipbuilding-Specific Tools and Workflows
Generic CAD tools are not built for shipbuilding. ShipConstructor is built around the complexities of modern marine projects, from structure and piping to outfitting and production, so your team can model faster and with fewer errors.
Fast Onboarding, Get Value in 8 weeks
Long software implementations will slow down production. SSI’s shipbuilding software uses a proven approach that minimizes disruption and gets your team fully operational in as little as 8 weeks, so you start seeing value immediately.
Open Architecture, Countless Integrations
Closed systems that do not integrate with your other tools hold your shipyard back. SSI’s open architecture integrates with other CAD tools, PLM, ERP, and your broader tech stack, giving you extra flexibility and long-term scalability.
Proven Results from Real Shipbuilders
From naval programs to commercial yards, SSI shipbuilding software helps shipbuilders modernize workflows, improve collaboration, and manage complexity with confidence. Here’s what our users say.
“The SSI software suite offers a complete solution for design, engineering and construction. It is the only home-grown Canadian solution of its type and SSI has achieved huge export success, being for the design, construction, and sustainment of defense projects across North America and in shipyards around the globe.”
Derek Buxton, Vice President Business Development.
“The adoption of ShipConstructor marks a significant milestone in our journey towards our digital transformation. This transition not only enhances our design and operational capabilities but also aligns with our goal to always look for innovative solutions that meet our clients’ unique needs. We are excited about the possibilities this partnership with SSI and NDAR opens up for us.”
Sander Bot, Department Manager Vessel Design Vuyk Engineering
“With SSI, we found a partner who deeply understands why shipbuilding is different and why it’s not production line manufacturing and was able to link the CAD tool together with the PLM in a way that we would have to have done ourselves separately if we were bringing in two separate tools together.”
Andrew Malcolm, Chief Digital Officer.

The Complete Platform for Ship Design Software
Is your shipyard struggling with disconnected tools, duplicate data, or siloed departments? SSI’s broader platform helps connect your engineering, operations and leadership teams, so you can modernize without disrupting how you work.
ShipbuildingPLM: Your Shipyard’s Digital Backbone
Critical shipyard information is still trapped in scattered files and manual tracking. ShipbuildingPLM centralizes engineering and production information into a controlled, lifecycle-driven environment, enabling better change management, design reuse, and collaboration across departments.
EnterprisePlatform: Shipyard Visibility for Leadership
Most shipyard leadership teams do not have full visibility across operations. EnterprisePlatform securely shares engineering data with the rest of your organization, improving visibility, coordination, and decision-making from early design through construction.
