Project Highlights
Shanghai Design Associates, the design centre for SinoPacific Shipbuilding Group, fully utilized ShipConstructor® for the MSC TAMARA'S design and production planning . ShipConstructor® will similarly be utilized for the additional seven ships on this project.

Zhejiang Shipyards, currently significantly expanding the size of its yard, is increasing efficiencies in many ways, including upgrading to state-of-the-art equipment. A new-technology bevel-cutting CNC machine and complex cold frame bending CNC machine required equally leading-edge software to ensure seamless and absolutely accurate cutting instructions from the production plan to the yard. ShipConstructor's NC-Pyros module delivered that critical communication and translation connection with ease.

The MSC TAMARA is the largest ship built by Zhejiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. which is part of the SinoPacific Shipbuilding Group.
