Joint venture company GSHI specializes in the research and manufacture of offshore vessels and other special purpose ships. Aveva says that Mars, which is designed to optimise project control, logistics, materials management, production, resources and planning, was specifically designed for shipyards and is a key element within Aveva’s so-called integrated shipbuilding strategy. It will be implemented in GSHI’s Zhongshan City shipyard and the contract will see an initial 100 concurrent users. Aveva will work with GSHI to configure Mars and ensure a smooth integration into existing systems.
