Design Data, BIM and Ship Information Management

On-demand webinar

Cruise ship - Design Data, BIM and Ship Information Management

Embracing the future of "connected ships"

Webinar replay

Recorded: 17 September 2020 (14:30 - 15:50 UK Time)

What’s this webinar about?

The data architecture covering the design, manufacture and build phase of ships differs considerably from that needed for the real-time data capture, analysis and operational performance optimization carried out by modern “smart” ships at sea.

This webinar looks at how database architecture and data management can be improved for a full ship lifecycle of design, manufacture, build and in-service operation, and at whether BIM is a suitable technology and methodology for the industry across all functional levels. It also looks at the role innovation can play within the future of ship design, service and operation.

The webinar:

Considers the future of emerging process technologies around design and data management, such as BIM (Building-Information-Modelling), GEOspatial and parametric CAD systems in shipbuilding and design
Looks at innovative methods for reality data capture, manufacture, design systems, and fleet facilities management/support
Considers the potential use cases for BIM, and the current challenges with the system against traditional ship design database and IT technologies
Reviews how data modelling and information management is required for ship design, build, manufacture, in-service life, re-fit and facilities management, in order to embrace the future of “connected ships”

What will participants gain?

Heightened awareness of the challenges of different database design requirements and content between shipbuilders and ship owners
An understanding of the complexities of ship data and how it may be modelled effectively to apply across the full ship lifecycle
Current data management and design information practices
How appropriately BIM can perform as a single source tool for design, specification and realization for a ship outfitting project
The benefits to having a parametric data set for the future life of the vessel, in most contexts, and how this embraces passenger marine
How innovation plays a big part in the future of the commercial and passenger marine industry

Dan Rossiter MCIAT, Sector-lead, BSI

As part of his role within the British Standards Institution (BSI), Chartered Architectural Technologist Dan Rossiter provides subject matter expertise, thought leadership, and sector engagement around the digital transformation of the built environment. In addition, beyond his role at BSI, Dan has been actively supporting the construction industry locally, nationally, and internationally for several years:

Locally, Dan supports Constructing Excellence in Wales, is a councillor for the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT), Wales Region and co-chair of UK BIM Alliance Wales
Nationally, Dan supports Constructing Excellence, Generation for Change, the UK BIM Alliance, is a member of the CIAT council and several special interest groups as well as a contributor to national standards development within BSI and
Internationally, Dan is a supporter of buildingSMART International as well as a contributor to international standards development within CEN and ISO.

All of Dan’s knowledge and expertise is applied to his award-winning blog There’s No BIM Like Home. Where the full UK BIM Framework is used on his own mid-terrace home in South Wales; practicing what he preaches through transparency, plain language and engaging example.

Georg Piantino - Senior Architect, YSA DESIGN

Georg Piantino recently returned to YSA Design as Senior Architect, after a seven-year period during which he has been mainly practised in the land-based sector, focusing on developing a strong set of skills as lead architect and project management.

Georg brings with him an infectious enthusiasm that marked out his initial period with YSA Design between 2008 and 2011, when he developed close relationships with clients and outfitters alike, as well as honing his communications and problem-solving skills. He “never really left behind” the passion for cruise ship design during his time away, he says.

In the intervening years, however, Georg has developed a strong set of skills as a project leader with some of the largest land-based architecture firms in Scandinavia. He also re-joins having gained experience in shopping mall, apartment block, kindergarten and luxury residential design projects, and key insights into the advanced tools at architecture’s leading edge that are increasingly being deployed in ship design.

“Techniques such as Building Information Modelling have become mandatory on shore and, more and more, they are becoming part of cruise ship building. I have been immersed in using these techniques while I have been away from YSA Design,” says Georg. “Using them for ship design means that all stakeholders – clients, outfitters, builders and designers – work in 3D from the sketch phase right through to ship delivery.”

Georg, whose father was also an architect, initially joined YSA Design after securing a Masters in Architecture from the Technical University of Graz (TU), Austria says that he is looking forward to using the insights he has gained to help drive YSA Design forward as a cruise industry innovator. “I always followed YSA Design during the intervening years and, to be honest, when the company’s senior management approached direct and asked me if I wanted to join them in their ambitious plans for the company, it was impossible to resist.”

John Martin C.Eng. MRINA, Director, SAMOSC Ltd

He is the founder and director of SAMOSC Ltd. (UK) and offers Engineering IT Consultancy services.

Previously Employed by BAE Systems he achieved the distinguished status of Engineering Fellow (one of twelve from an international population of 18,000 engineers) in recognition of his exceptional contribution to BAE Systems and the wider area of new technologies.

His progressive career specialised in the practical application of advanced IT systems and processes. He has a successful, proven, and celebrated track record of proposing, selecting, implementing and managing new information technologies, working methods and processes to improve design, build and operation of complex ships and submarines.

Jonathan Ridley - Head of Engineering, Faculty of Creative Industries, Architecture and Engineering, Solent University

After qualifying with a BEng (Hons) degree in Yacht and Powercraft Design, Jonathan worked for the Defence Evaluation Research Agency (DERA) and later QinetiQ. In this role he worked with both experimental hydrodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics on projects ranging from CFD application and validation and consultancy to scale model and towing tank testing. He did this on a wide range of vessels from IACC 72 yachts to submarines and large civil and military vessels. Following this Jonathan joined Warsash Maritime Academy, teaching naval architecture and ship stability on the navigation and engineering programmes to cadets and senior officers in the Merchant Navy. In 2014, Jonathan co-authored 'Reeds Volume 13: Ship Stability, Powering and Resistance', part of the renowned Reeds Marine Engineering and Technology Series used by marine engineer students globally as core texts. Jonathan is now the Head of Engineering at Solent University, where he oversees a range of courses and works on elements of ship simulation and digital twinning with the University's Warsash Maritime School.

Matthew Jensen, AssocRINA, Director, Fraiserline

Matthew began his early career as a trainee Quantity Surveyor specialising in Power Generation, ME Systems, Civil Engineering and Marine projects. He undertook his further studies in Architectural design, achieving a highly commended first-class honours degree before working across the USA and London. Matthew is now the founding Director of Fraiserline Architecture, a multi-disciplinary consultancy within the Passenger Marine, DFMA and Hospitality sectors. Matthew also co-founded Paromat, a start-up to offer innovative IoT and data-capture solutions to passenger vessels.
