We’re excited to share a new case study featuring Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) and their innovative approach to modern vessel design.

 

Like many designers and shipbuilders, EBDG faces increasing pressure to balance sustainability mandates, hybrid propulsion adoption, and digital shipyard requirements — all while keeping costs and schedules under control. With SSI’s ShipConstructor and digital workflows, they’ve found ways to meet these challenges head-on.

 

Here’s how EBDG is building smarter with SSI:

 

• Cloud collaboration brings remote teams, shipyards, and clients together in real time on the same 3D models

 

• Early system integration ensures zero-emission and hybrid propulsion systems are embedded from the start

 

• Automation in nesting and beveling reduces material waste, saves time, and improves accuracy

 

• Digital twin deliverables extend the value of design into operations, making maintenance, repairs, and retrofits more efficient

 

• Future-ready planning helps shipyards and owners prepare for evolving requirements and technologies

 

As Marine Designer Kristen Martel shared:

 

“Clients are very interested in building more effectively, more efficiently, faster, less man hours on the shop floor. And with ShipConstructor, we are able to quickly change the design and replicate it in various areas of the vessel.”

 

We’d love to hear your thoughts — and explore how these approaches could support your upcoming projects.
