On the other hand the amount of information handled in the design process is fairly large due to the complexity of ships. On one hand there are very many relations in the design process as a ship is one integrated entity where almost any changes in the design will influence the other aspects.

A lot of expertise and a vast amount of knowledge is required together with powerful analysis functions in order to reach a successful design at the end of the process.

Ships are designed in a complex process run by many experts working in various departments in different companies. The aim of ship design should be to reach an optimal design from both the ship owner's and the shipyard's point of view.
