Modern computational technology available to the large yacht industry spans Naval Architecture and ship building disciplines but only rarely are tools used synergistically and processes connected, let alone integrated. Nonetheless, an Out-Of-The-Box Integrated, Collaborative, Multi-Authoring Environment for the Design and Construction of Large Yachts composed by a heterogeneous software pool spanning 3D modelling, weight engineering, CFD, structural analysis & fatigue, seakeeping, stability, CAD, etc. is available, today. The corresponding non-linear work flow is defined for practical application with no requirements for specialist training or specialized staff past Naval Architecture education for some and following LEAN and AGILE business models and strategies. Commonly used software tools are employed across the enterprise’s landscape to cover all salient activities and processes. A quasi-PLM perspective is made possible by a structured information management process and the creation and maintenance of unique information models which feed the Work In Progress and Contractual deliverable archives.

Being engaged in collecting materials for a work entitled “A Picture of Naval Architecture in the 18th and 19th Centuries,” the author was induced to visit this country, with a view to become acquainted with the various innovations and improvements lately introduced here in the art of ship-building; and, in the present communication, offers some remarks upon the plans proposed by Mr. Seppings, an account of which has formerly been before the Royal Society, and is printed in their Transactions for 1814. After giving an outline of the fundamental principles upon which Mr. Seppings’s improvements in naval architecture principally depend, and dwelling especially upon the diagonal pieces of timber which he employs to strengthen the usual rectangular frame-work, the author proceeds to state that similar contrivances were long ago suggested and even practised by the French ship-builders, in order to give strength to the general fabric of their vessels. Instead of making the ceiling parallel to the exterior planks, they arranged it in the oblique direction of the diagonals of the parallelograms formed by the timber and the ceiling, in the whole of that part of the ship’s sides between the orlop and limber-strake next the kelson. They then covered this ceiling with riders, as usual, and placed crosspieces between them in the direction of the second diameter of the parallelogram. This system, however, was abandoned in the French navy, on account of its expense, of its diminishing the capacity of the hold, and of the erroneous notion that the longitudinal length of the ship was diminished by the obliquity of the ceiling. In 1755, the Academy of Sciences rewarded M. Chauchot, a naval engineer, for the suggestion of employing oblique for transverse riders; and in 1772, M. Clairon des Lauriers employed diagonal strengtheners in the construction of the frigate l’Oiseau.

The article examines the substantive aspects of digitalization as a new paradigm of technical and technological development. The features that distinguish the digital economy are structured. Information, knowledge and digital data are key production factors. Digitalization is considered as a modern tool for ensuring economic growth. It leads to the emergence of positive effects: the emergence of new business models, the creation of a basis for breakthrough innovations, and ensuring competitiveness in the long term. The important role of the state in the implementation of largescale investments, which are the drivers of the development and implementation of digital technologies, was noted.

This article describes the experience of reconstruction of a ship built by a seventeenth century ship builder. The lower hull and partial cargo of La Belle were discovered in 1995 and excavated within a dry cofferdam. The hull was documented, disassembled, and subjected to additional recording and reassembled in order to conserve it as a unit. On the basis of the present remains, the hull was reconstructed and several aspects of design and construction were understood. The discovery of new information, whether in the process of the reconstruction of the archaeological remains or from documentary research, necessitated a reexamination and/or a reworking of earlier recordings, preliminary reconstructions, and working hypotheses. Studying the design of La Belle was to a great extent a circular process—much like a design spiral in modern naval architecture.

The emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will not only leverage new and potentially disruptive business models but will also change the way software applications will be analyzed and designed. Agility is a need in a systematic service engineering as well as a co-design of requirements and architectural artefacts. Functional and non-functional requirements of IT users (in smart manufacturing mostly from the disciplines of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering) need to be mapped to the capabilities and interaction patterns of emerging IIoT service platforms, not to forget the corresponding information models. The capabilities of such platforms are usually described, structured, and formalized by software architects and software engineers. However, their technical descriptions are far away from the thinking and the thematic terms of end-users. This complicates the transition from requirements analysis to system design, and hence the re-use of existing and the design of future platform capabilities. Current software engineering methodologies do not systematically cover these interlinked and two-sided aspects. The article describes in a comprehensive manner how to close this gap with the help of a service-oriented analysis and design methodology entitled SERVUS (also mentioned in ISO 19119 Annex D) and a corresponding Web-based Platform Engineering Information System (PEIS).

Mohd Ridwan, Eko Yulianto, in paper competency of naval architecture diploma program on Indonesian maritime industry explain that Shipbuilding engineering professionals is part of the leading maritime industry is expected to become the motor of development of national maritime fleet in the implementation of cabotage (Impres No.5, 2005), this will reduce foreign exchange spending nearly 99 trillion rupiah per year due to the use of foreign fleets, and the creation of new jobs as a supporter of the maritime industry. So the presence of workers who have competence in the field of shipbuilding (ship building, naval architecture, marine engineering enginerring and maritime transportation) is urgently needed and their capability to compete with other countries that previously controlled the sea as a source of national income should be the Indonesian government's attention. Keywords: Professional shipbuilding techniques, competency

A digital twin is regarded as a potential solution to optimize positive energy districts (PED). This paper presents a compact review about digital twins for PED from aspects of concepts, working principles, tools/platforms, and applications, in order to address the issues of both how a digital PED twin is made and what tools can be used for a digital PED twin. Four key components of digital PED twin are identified, i.e., a virtual model, sensor network integration, data analytics, and a stakeholder layer. Very few available tools now have full functions for digital PED twin, while most tools either have a focus on industrial applications or are designed for data collection, communication and visualization based on building information models (BIM) or geographical information system (GIS). Several observations gained from successful application are that current digital PED twins can be categorized into three tiers: (1) an enhanced version of BIM model only, (2) semantic platforms for data flow, and (3) big data analysis and feedback operation. Further challenges and opportunities are found in areas of data analysis and semantic interoperability, business models, data security, and management. The outcome of the review is expected to provide useful information for further development of digital PED twins and optimizing its sustainability.
