Yacht design in the era of digital transition

Lucica Iconaru Carmen Gasparotti

Abstrak

The design of ships has changed dramatically since the 1970s. We have shifted from manual drafting to digital tools and computers, mostly because computer technology has greatly improved. Nowadays, with the growth of smart digitalization in Industry 4.0, using modern digital software and tools makes ship design more efficient and enhances its quality throughout a ship's entire lifespan. However, this shift has also made operations more complex and requires users of the software to have more specialized training. Today, technologies like automated optimization, simulation-based design, managing the entire product lifecycle, digital twins, and artificial intelligence are commonly used in the shipping industry. These technologies are applied during both the design and construction phases, as well as in preparing and inspecting ships. This paper reviews major advances in these areas and discusses how the industry can address current and future challenges.
