Octo prepares
Surveys, calculates, organizes and produces the documents: spreadsheets, reports, lists and drafts.
Deliverable: material ready to checkOcto × Naval industry · research of Oct 28, 2026
From ship design to fleet operation.
Eight fields of shipbuilding, offshore and ship operation, one question: which software do they use, how can it be automated and where can an AI team help? Each page shows what Octo can do in that field, with read access and as support. Design approval, class and certification stay with the engineers in charge, the classification societies and the maritime authority.

Octo at work in the naval industry.
One task from request to approval, at a fictional company. The arms measure, plan and execute; the person in charge checks and approves. Each tab is one front of the field and links to its page.

02
One page per field.
With the software, how it is automated, where Octo can help and what is confirmed in a published source.
Ship design
AVEVA, NAPA, CADMATIC, ShipConstructor, 3DEXPERIENCE, NX, and hull form in Rhino with Orca3D or in Maxsurf. Octo can inventory models, check the OCX file (open exchange of the 3D model with the classification society) and propose scripts for human review.
Open the page →Hydrostatics and stability
NAPA, MAXSURF Stability, GHS, AutoHydro, DELFTship and the on-board loading computer. Octo can redo the hydrostatics independently and check GZ curves against the general criteria of the 2008 IS Code; the ones who approve are the engineer, the class and the authority.
Open the page →Structure and classification
Classification society software (DNV, ABS, LR, BV, RINA, ClassNK) and finite elements (Femap, Nastran, Ansys), around the IACS Common Structural Rules (CSR). Octo can prepare inputs, run what accepts scripts and read results; the rule check stays in the classification society's tool.
Open the page →Hydrodynamics
STAR-CCM+, Fine Marine, SHIPFLOW, OpenFOAM, WAMIT, Aqwa, OrcaFlex and SIMA. Almost all of them run without a screen; Octo can prepare the case matrix, check inputs and consolidate results, with the engineer in charge validating each analysis.
Open the page →Shipyard PLM
ShipbuildingPLM, AVEVA, 3DEXPERIENCE, Teamcenter, ERP (SAP, IFS) and the block schedule. With a read-only account, Octo can compare the bill of materials (BOM) between sister hulls, cross PLM and ERP and propose erection sequences for the planner to assess.
Open the page →Shipbuilding fabrication
Cutting and nesting of plates and profiles, welding robots and dimensional control of blocks. Octo can read DXF, DSTV and nesting reports, cross them with the parts list and point out discrepancies; the shipyard releases cutting and welding.
Open the page →Fleet operations
Planned maintenance systems (PMS) such as AMOS, ShipManager, BASSnet and Shipnet, class portals and emissions reports (IMO DCS and CII, EU MRV). Octo can point out overdue tasks and fuel discrepancies before the report; surveys and certificates belong to class and the authority.
Open the page →Open-source software
OpenFOAM, Capytaine, NEMOH, MoorDyn, OpenFAST and FreeCAD with the Ship workbench, on Linux. Octo can write the scripts that vary speed, draft or frequency, run the cases and gather the results, with the naval engineer deciding what holds for the project.

What Octo does, and what stays with you.
Octo prepares everything, but it does not sign. The document of record stays with whoever is accountable for it.
Your team checks
The licensed professional checks what Octo delivered before signing. If something doesn't add up, it goes back to Octo with the correction.
Step: checked by the person who signsWho signs
Octo does not sign. Designs, technical reports, ART/RRT, statements of account and any official document are still signed by the licensed professional at the company or agency: here, the naval engineer in charge and the classification society.
Signature: naval engineer and classification societyWhich stage is holding up your shipyard?
The assessment starts by reading what you already have, without changing anything. You get a map of what can be automated, and you decide with that in hand.
