In a constantly evolving world that is striving to transform itself and innovate, digital technologies play a crucial role in shaping new opportunities for businesses and the economy. With digitalization measures in place, companies can curb costs and lessen the risks involved in a particular project. Therefore, the director of the Netherlands-based Shipbuilder is convinced that companies can steer clear of a big chunk of risks involved in the construction of vessels that serve the offshore energy industry if they put digitalization to good use.

While the construction of all offshore vessels tends to be a complex undertaking, Shipbuilder is adamant that 30% of the risks involved in such projects can be avoided straight away with the right digital tools. Within the offshore energy industry, some vessels are primarily used for the oil and gas industry while others are also employed or specifically designed for renewable energy projects.
