EU unveils data-driven plan to make shipbuilding faster and cheaper

The EU-funded Smart European Shipbuilding (SEUS) project launched this month, aiming to improve the shipbuilding process via computational tools. The launch arrives as the maritime industry’s increasingly embraces digitization and automation, facilitated by rapid advancements in data science and software development. SEUS is backed by a consortium of eight organizations from five European countries, representing different technologies and parts of the design and shipbuilding industry: computational tools development, industrially applied research, and end-users (i.e. shipyards). These partners will work together to create a framework for data-driven shipbuilding. According to the project’s description, this will be realized through the development of…
