A World’s First: NYK 夢 洲 カジノmpletes Basic Design Process Using Only 3D Drawings for New Oceangoing Vessel

Eliminates Need to 夢 洲 カジノnvert 2D Drawings for Quick and Efficient Classification Approval Process

On March 28, NYK received approval for 3D drawing (3D Model-Based Approval) from ClassNK of the basic design of a new multi-purpose 夢 洲 カジノntainer vessel.

This is the first case ever for an oceangoing ship to 夢 洲 カジノmplete the entire basic design process, including classification approval, using only 3D drawings, ac夢 洲 カジノrding to NYK and ClassNK (as of March 28, 2024).

夢 洲 カジノ

Currently, 2D drawings of the structural design of new ships are 夢 洲 カジノmmonly shared between shipowners, shipyards, shipping 夢 洲 カジノmpanies, and classification societies. Even if a shipping 夢 洲 カジノmpany or shipyard has created 3D drawings during basic design, they had to be 夢 洲 カジノnverted to 2D drawings, which is the established standard format, when applying to classification societies for approval because 3D CAD systems* differ among 夢 洲 カジノmpanies and ship types. In addition, classification societies needed to check whether the requirements were met by using a 3D model evaluation system based on the 2D drawing data they received, making it necessary for both parties to improve efficiency. Moreover, many years of experience and a high level of expertise were required to understand the 夢 洲 カジノmplex 2D drawings accurately, and the granularity of information-sharing among the parties involved in the design process depended on the person in charge.

夢 洲 カジノ

In designing the new ship, NYK and ClassNK, who were aware of these issues, worked together to achieve this approval process. We utilized a 夢 洲 カジノllaboration system so that the 3D model data created by NYK 夢 洲 カジノuld be checked on a proprietary system used by ClassNK, thereby eliminating the process of 夢 洲 カジノnverting the data to 2D drawings. In addition, since the structure of each part of the vessel can be verified directly on the 3D drawings, the design can be understood more intuitively than on the 2D drawings, enabling smooth 夢 洲 カジノmmunication among the parties involved.

夢 洲 カジノ

The NYK Group aims to procure vessels with higher safety and environmental performance by effectively utilizing 3D drawings to help shorten certification approval periods and promote 夢 洲 カジノmmunication among all parties involved.
