Own your digital ship hull models!

For the first time ever, vessel operators and fleet managers can take full ownership of highly accurate digital 3D models of their hulls, created exclusively through Shipwright's proprietary large-scale 3D laser scanning capability purpose-built for the marine industry. This breakthrough technology brings a new level of precision, transparency, and operational flexibility to ship owners who have long been underserved by traditional measurement methods.

3D laser scanning of hull forms

Shipwright's proprietary 3D laser hull scanning technology, combined with our advanced in-house large-scale data processing capability, allows us to deliver to you—the vessel owner—an accurate, as-built digital hull model with a level of fidelity not previously achievable in the marine sector. Unlike legacy approaches that rely on original shipyard drawings or approximate measurements, our scans capture the true current geometry of your vessel, including any deformations, modifications, or wear that have occurred over its service life. With a precise digital hull model in hand, you can now:

  • Easily comply with important regulatory inclining and lightweight survey requirements, reducing the time, cost, and disruption associated with traditional class society procedures

  • Perform hydrodynamic optimization analyses with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to identify opportunities for improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced vessel performance

  • Design seamless retrofit installations with confidence, knowing that new equipment, systems, and structural components will fit precisely the first time

  • Create lofting plans and molds for replica new builds, enabling efficient sister-ship construction or fleet expansion based on a proven hull form

  • Readily study the impact of structural additions and modifications on stability, supporting safer engineering decisions and faster regulatory approvals


Your fleet 3D hull model library

By partnering with Shipwright, you build a permanent, proprietary digital library of your entire fleet's hull models—an invaluable long-term asset that supports lifecycle management, future upgrades, resale documentation, and strategic planning for years to come.
