No nation has a connection to the sea quite like Canada.

Two Canadian firms are partnering to develop and commercialize 3D digital twin capabilities with hopes of making Canada more globally competitive, driving export opportunities and creating jobs in the marine sector.
The the $3 million-plus Digital Ship In-Service Support Project comes from Canada’s Ocean Supercluster’s (OSC) Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program. Led by British Columbia-based Seaspan Shipyards together with partner and Newfoundland and Labrador-based, Genoa Design International, the Digital Ship In-Service Support Project will receive $2 million from Canada’s Ocean Supercluster with the balance of funding coming from project participants.
The project will develop new integrated capabilities for vessel management and maintenance through an advanced technology platform that will help vessel designers, builders, operators and maintainers more efficiently manage vessel lifecycle; reduce down-time for repair and maintenance by providing

th project with a total project value of more than $3 million. The
Digital Ship In-Service Support Project comes from the OSC s Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program and brings together two Canadian marine industry leaders from Canada s west and east coasts to develop and commercialize 3D digital twin capabilities that will help make Canada more globally competitive, drive export opportunities, and create jobs in the marine sector.
Led by British Columbia-based Seaspan Shipyards together with partner and Newfoundland and Labrador-based, Genoa Design International, the Digital Ship In-Service Support Project will receive $2 million from Canada s Ocean Supercluster with the balance of funding coming from the project participants. This represents the first Ocean Supercluster project to be led out of Canada s west coast. The relationship between Seaspan and Genoa was originally built

Canada’s Ocean Supercluster has announced a new project that will have broad impacts on ocean industries.
The $3.1-million Rutter Internet of Things project, essentially, gives mariners a full suite of radar tools, available in real-time by using cloud-based technology.
Rutter is heading the project along with Husky.
