Ship owners are increasingly using digital 3D models of their assets and real-time information about asset condition to improve maintenance and efficiency, and lower costs. Bureau Veritas is developing class notations to help clients prove the accuracy of their digital twins, ensuring that 3D models are properly designed, updated and managed. Our experts are further developing notations to certify designers and ship builders’ ability to develop digital twins.
