Samsung Heavy Industries builds world’s largest containership with Intergraph Smart 3D

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has used Intergraph Smart 3D to design the world’s largest containership for Mitsui O.S.K Lines (MOL), surpassing 20,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU).

With a length of 400 meters, breadth of 58.8 meters and draft of 32.8 meters, and christened the MOL Triumph, the vessel is classified as an Ultra Large Containership that can transport 20,150 containers. The MOL Triumph is the first of four 20,150 TEU vessels SHI is building for MOL.

Smart 3D was used to execute the detailed and production design of the Triumph, as well as to produce installation and fabrication drawings, and Bills of Materials for SHI’s procurement team. Smart 3D’s Top-down Planning & Estimation and Assembly Planning & Simulation modules were also employed on this project.

Smart 3D is a 3D design solution that aims to lower risk on tight project schedules by offering high-quality designs to support the fabrication, construction and operational phases. The built-in engineering rules enable project stakeholders to make critical design decisions early on, freeing up time for real engineering work by automating design functions, enforcing design consistency through the different disciplines and all related, automatically produced deliverables. Smart 3D also minimises costly rework by managing the changes that inevitably occur throughout design.
