Ferguson Marine Engineering Becomes Key Member of Global Project SHIPLYS

Ferguson Marine Engineering has recently become a key member of a three-year project called SHIPLYS (Ship Life Cycle Software Solutions). The Horizon 2020 funded project is coordinated by TWI (The Welding Institute) and brings together 12 leading maritime organisations from around Europe. The project is in response to needs of SME naval architects, shipbuilders and ship-owners, who in order to survive in the world market require to:

• Improve their capability to reduce the time and costs of design and production
• Develop the ability to reliably produce better ship concepts through virtual prototyping
• Meet the increasing requirements for LCCA (Life Cycle Cost Analysis), environmental assessments, risk assessments and end-of-life considerations as differentiators.
