AVEVA announced today that it is sponsoring The Society of Naval Architects of Korea (SNAK) 22nd Korean universities’ ship design contest.
Many teams from Korean universities will compete to design marine vessels and most of them will use AVEVA Marine™ software for this competition. Representatives from DSME have set the two assignment categories and the Ship and Offshore Design Research Committee, the affiliated committee of SNAK, will judge the assignments.
The categories are:
‘We are delighted that AVEVA is sponsoring the SNAK ship design contest,’ said JeYang Ryu, Secretary of SNAK . ‘These awards encourage a new generation of ship designers and we thank AVEVA for its support in supplying the software for this event.
