Drawings to define a ship hull became popular only in the 17th century in England. Since then, drawings have been a key element in shipbuilding, however there are people who thinks that its use will vanish soon through the implementation of the digital revolution.
To remain competitive, we must study how these technologies can improve the benefits by upgrading processes, resources, workflow, and cooperation between stakeholders. Digitalization is on hand and it is mature enough to start implementation and be part of our strategy for the future in shipbuilding.
