“Increased Adoption of 3D Imaging and Digital Integration in Ship Diagnostics and Repair”
- One prominent trend in the global Ship Repair and Maintenance Services market is the growing adoption of 3D imaging and digital integration
- These advanced tools enhance accuracy and efficiency by enabling shipyards to capture detailed 3D models of damaged or aging ship components for precise diagnostics and repair planning
- For instance, HMM, a South Korean shipping company, is trialing onboard 3D printing aboard its containership, HMM GREEN, to produce maintenance parts on-demand. This initiative aims to reduce downtime, cut inventory costs, and improve operational efficiency. Similarly, companies like Wilhelmsen and Immensa are leveraging 3D printing to streamline maritime supply chains and enhance spare parts availability, revolutionizing ship repair and maintenance.
- Digital integration enables real-time collaboration between onsite technicians and remote experts through connected devices, ensuring faster decision-making and documentation during maintenance operations
- This trend is transforming the ship repair ecosystem by improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing manual errors, and increasing the demand for digital solutions in ship maintenance
