Aviva and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Sign Integrated Supply Agreement for "Advanced Digital Design Environment"

AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, has strengthened its strategic partnership with HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HDKSE), supporting the stable operation and advancement of its digital design environment. To achieve this, AVEVA has signed a contract to integrate its AVEVA Marine and AVEVA Asset Information Management (AIM) solutions into the three HD Hyundai shipbuilding divisions (HDKSE, HDHyundai Heavy Industries, and HDHyundai Samho).

The three HD Hyundai shipbuilding companies have signed a strategic technology support agreement with AVEVA to reduce digital design and production time and strengthen collaboration among global shipyards. AVEVA will leverage this agreement to continuously enhance its existing design system. Starting in 2022, AVEVA plans to gradually provide a state-of-the-art design environment that reflects the on-site requirements of HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering through the AVEVA Marine Center of Excellence in Busan.

The integrated design environment aims to improve design quality and collaboration efficiency by connecting disparate shipbuilding design stages. AVEVA helps eliminate engineering, operations, and IT data silos, driving improved performance, enhanced carbon efficiency, and industrial intelligence across the asset lifecycle.

HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Managing Director Yoo Young-woong said, “We expect the application of this solution to enhance the design environment and innovate processes,” and Aviva’s Chris Lee, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Asia Pacific, said, “This collaboration will play a significant role in supporting the entire value chain in the shipbuilding and offshore sectors and ensuring sustainability.”
