The main objective of the IMPROVE project was to develop three new ship generations in an integrated multiple criteria decision making environment by using the advanced design synthesis and analysis techniques at the earliest stage of the design process, which innovatively considers structure, production, operational aspects, performance, and safety criteria on a concurrent basis. The product types focused on this project are new generations of LNG gas carriers and chemical tankers, and an innovative concept of a large Ro-Pax vessel.

MEC Insenerilahendused provided an analysis tool based on Coupled Beam method that allows time-efficient analysis of bending stress distribution in the ship hull and thereby provide a tool for rapid assessment of the strength of new ship concepts.
