Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company has announced that Damen Shipyards Group, an international shipbuilding group, has selected the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and its marine and offshore industry solution experiences to digitally transform its operations.

The “Designed for Sea,” “Winning Bid for Sea,” “Optimized Production for Sea,” and “On Time to Sea” industry solution experiences integrate sales, marketing, design, engineering, manufacturing and services.

Marine and offshore industry trends toward sophistication and globalisation are requiring competitive shipbuilders to profitably react to market demands for customised vessels and new business models. As the complexity of its shipbuilding portfolio increases to satisfy industry trends, Damen Shipyards is digitally transforming its operations to unify collaboration across its engineering offices, shipbuilding sites and suppliers, efficiently manage its portfolio and respond to customer needs with agility.

“Dassault Systèmes’ portfolio of M&O improves and supports collaboration and operational performance across Damen, to better serve Damen’s customers worldwide. Competitive shipbuilders must explore new ways to leverage the advanced technologies that are defining a new era in shipbuilding and gain an edge in the industry,” said Alain Houard, Vice President, Marine & Offshore Industry, Dassault Systèmes.
