The multiple challenges posed by ever-increasing ship sizes, technical complexity, skyrocketing material and construction costs, plus several recently introduced design requirements - such as double hulls and extensive waste treatment systems - have combined to create an increasingly involved and complicated shipbuilding environment. This paper addresses steps taken to increase design and construction effectiveness through use of a shared three dimensional (3-D) database. An improved ability to successfully compete in the highly competitive international shipbuilding market is demonstrated.
