DDM for Marine
Digital Transformation: Marine & Shipbuilding
In the marine sector, projects are large, complex and often span years. From shipbuilding and offshore engineering to defence vessels and marine systems, every detail must be precise and fully documented.
DDM gives you a single organised system for managing design data, approvals and workflows. By keeping information connected and traceable, it helps reduce errors, simplify compliance and keep programmes running smoothly so you can deliver reliable vessels and equipment on time.

Features of DDM
Powerful PLM for Marine
Marine projects combine complex engineering, regulatory standards and collaboration across many suppliers. DDM centralises your design files, technical documents and approvals so everyone involved works from the most accurate information.
Every change, review and supplier update is tracked and linked to the right project. Approvals, audit trails and document control are built into the workflow, which means compliance happens naturally while development continues at pace.
Centralised Vessel Design Data
Marine projects generate vast amounts of design information, from CAD models to technical drawings and documents. DDM brings all of this into one secure system so naval architects, engineers and shipbuilders can work with confidence that they are always using the most up-to-date design.
Complex BOM and Configuration Management
Ships and marine systems often involve thousands of components with different configurations for each vessel. DDM helps manage multi-level BOMs and design variants, ensuring accuracy across engineering, construction and maintenance.
Controlled Change and Approvals
Design changes in marine projects can have a major impact on cost, safety and schedules. DDM automates change requests and approval workflows, making it easier to track decisions, reduce errors and keep projects moving smoothly.
Supplier and Partner Collaboration
Marine projects often bring together shipyards, equipment suppliers and classification societies. DDM makes collaboration more efficient by providing secure access to the right design data, so every partner stays aligned without compromising sensitive information.
Regulatory Compliance and Traceability
The marine industry faces strict regulations from organisations such as IMO and classification bodies like Lloyd’s Register or DNV. DDM maintains full audit trails and documentation, helping teams demonstrate compliance and trace every design decision across the lifecycle of a vessel.
DDM for Marine & Shipbuilding PLM
From shipbuilding to offshore engineering, DDM helps marine teams manage data, maintain compliance and work more efficiently throughout the product lifecycle. Trusted by engineering organisations around the world.

Powerful tools built for product development-all in one platform
Achieve Compliance Without the Chaos
Capture every change, approval, and document in one traceable system. Whether you’re working to ISO, FDA, or internal standards, compliance is structured, auditable, and stress-free.
Boost Team Productivity
Keep everyone aligned with a single source of truth. Engineers spend less time managing data, and more time solving problems and innovating.
Cut Engineering Costs
Remove time wasted on chasing files, duplicating effort, or fixing miscommunications. DDM simplifies design workflows and eliminates manual overhead.
Reduce Waste & Increase Part Reuse
Easily find, track, and re-use existing components instead of reinventing them. Fewer duplicates, fewer errors — more value from every design.
Build a Smarter, More Scalable Process
Replace disconnected spreadsheets and legacy tools with a future-proof system that grows with you — from prototype to global release.
Get Products to Market Faster
With connected data, streamlined reviews, and fewer handoff delays, teams move from concept to production without hold-ups or rework.
