STX OSV AS Selects AVEVA’s Integrated Hull and Outfitting Solutions
AVEVA today announced that STX OSV AS has signed an agreement to purchase the full AVEVA Marine solution suite, providing STX OSV with a powerful system for integrated Hull and Outfitting design. STX has already begun the first project using AVEVA Marine with the design of a Platform Supply Vessel and two sister ships. The system will be used by up to 300 concurrent users across all of the group’s nine shipyards.
The long-term agreement covers the full AVEVA Marine solution, supporting efficient engineering and design processes from early / basic design, through detailed Hull and Outfitting design, to the creation of manufacturing data and documents.
Seamless Integration
Mr. Stig Sandanger Riise, Senior Vice President Technology & Engineering of STX OSV AS said: “We required a suite of products that provided seamless integration between disciplines, particularly Hull and Outfitting in the whole value chain. We selected AVEVA Marine to provide this integration and they also offer us an advanced database capability allowing STX to accommodate ship buyer’s requests at short notice and enabling changes very close to production start. Equally important, AVEVA Global supports concurrent engineering across all of our nine yards in Norway, Romania, Brazil and Vietnam.”
Advantage
“We have a significant technology advantage in the integration between shipbuilding disciplines”, explained Nigel Sams, Vice President North EMEA, AVEVA. “STX OSV has a strong reputation for its flexibility and its ability to meet customer requests quickly. AVEVA Marine will provide STX OSV with a set of business-enabling applications, to minimise the impact of late design changes and support the efficient delivery of global, multi-site projects. Our recommendations provide STX OSV with new and more efficient capabilities, enabling it to further strengthen its competitive advantage.” STX has already begun the first project using AVEVA Marine with the design of a Platform Supply Vessel and two sister ships.
