The <em>Digital Ship In-Service Support Project<\/em> comes from the OSC\u2019s Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program and brings together two Canadian marine industry leaders from Canada\u2019s west and east coasts to develop and commercialize 3D digital twin capabilities that will help make Canada more globally competitive, drive export opportunities, and create jobs in the marine sector.<\/p>\n<p>Led by British Columbia-based Seaspan Shipyards together with partner and Newfoundland and Labrador-based, Genoa Design International, the Digital Ship In-Service Support Project will receive $2 million from Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster with the balance of funding coming from the project participants. This represents the first Ocean Supercluster project to be led out of Canada\u2019s west coast. The relationship between Seaspan and Genoa was originally built under Canada\u2019s National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) and continues to thrive today including a teaming partnership for Canada\u2019s future Polar Icebreaker program. This type of outcome is exactly what the NSS was intended to create.<\/p>\n<p>The project will develop new integrated capabilities for vessel management and maintenance through an advanced technology platform that will help vessel designers, builders, operators and maintainers more efficiently manage vessel lifecycle; reduce down-time for repair and maintenance by providing predictive information; improve vessel design and construction to reduce costs; and integrate multiple data sources by leveraging the language of visualization. The Digital Ship In-Service Support Project makes this possible through its ability to provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Data streams to manage vessel maintenance and predict maintenance issues;<\/li>\n<li>Dynamically-updated representations of vessels and their subsystems;<\/li>\n<li>Virtual reality to visually interrogate and interact with 3D digital twin data;<\/li>\n<li>A network of vessel sensors that report on the condition of the vessel and its subsystems; and<\/li>\n<li>Advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster is an industry-led transformative cluster focused on tackling the shared challenges across ocean sectors through a collaborative program designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of globally-relevant solutions, while also building a highly-capable, inclusive workforce. To encourage innovation and trigger new industry investment during these challenging times, the Ocean Supercluster supplemented its core programs with an additional project stream called Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program (AOSP). This enables the development of smaller projects on a shorter timeline that deliver tangible outcomes, while continuing to build resiliency in our ocean sector.<\/p>\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ocean Supercluster is creating opportunities for Canadian businesses to come together from coast to coast, leading to new and innovative technologies that will solve real-life challenges faced by the ocean sector.
