The largest shipyard in China, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard (SWS), has purchased the Torsional Vibration and Shaft Alignment modules from our Nauticus Machinery suite of software products.
With the increasing demand for new production at shipyards, the ability to predict the shafting behaviours in the early design stage of a ship is increasingly crucial. Instead of relying on diesel-engine manufacturers with heavy workloads, a growing number of Chinese shipyards are building up their own shafting design knowledge and capabilities.

Zhang Zhi Ping, DNV Software Sales Manager in Region Greater China, is happy to see that SWS is joining the large Nauticus Machinery software family.
"Nauticus Machinery has rapidly become the market-leading software solution for strength assessment of rotating machinery components and systems. Major diesel-engine manufacturers in China are utilising the benefits of Nauticus Machinery software in their daily design and productions," says Zhang.
"With this state-of-the-art software solution and comprehensive techincal support, we are able to contribute much more to the Chinese shipbuilding industry".
