Cosco has previously delivered numerous offshore projects using SmartMarine Enterprise. With the greater software productivity, advanced quality designs and a strong, local Intergraph technical support team, the company renewed the long-term master agreement to expand applications and increase its competitive edge using the SmartMarine Enterprise solution.
"We have been using Intergraph technology for many years, and we are pleased to extend our long-term strategic relationship with Intergraph," said Cosco officials. "We have achieved great success through the implementation of SmartMarine Enterprise for our engineering projects, and we are confident that SmartMarine Enterprise will continue to deliver tremendous value to our company."
"Since first implementing SmartMarine 3D in 2006, Cosco Shipyard Group has seen significant gains in productivity and quality through the use of our next-generation, rule-driven offshore and shipbuilding design solution," said Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph process, power and marine president. "Intergraph is a long-standing, trusted partner in China, and we are pleased to see the tremendous success Cosco is having with our solutions."
Intergraph`s SmartMarine Enterprise is an advanced, integrated offshore and shipbuilding design solution, driving improvements in design efficiency, production schedule, handover, and overall life-cycle cost control for enhanced global competitiveness.
