On December 2, at Marintec China 2025, the “Wave Platform,” an integrated marine CAE industrial software jointly developed by the China Ship Scientific Research Center (CSSRC) of China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC), Harbin Engineering University, and over 20 leading domestic institutions, made its debut.
The launch ceremony was attended by GAO Dongsheng, Chief Economist of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; XU Peng, Chairman of CSSC; YIN Jingwei, President of Harbin Engineering University; and YE Cong, Director of CSSRC. They jointly witnessed the official release of the Wave Platform for marine CAE software. The ceremony was hosted by MA Yunxiang, Assistant General Manager of CSSC.
The Wave Platform is the world’s first marine industrial software to integrate ship performance simulation, contract design, and digital submission/review processes. It provides a unified solution for full lifecycle performance prediction of vessels. Through close collaboration between Harbin Engineering University and CSSRC, together with the China Classification Society, the Marine Design & Research Institute of China (MARIC), and other partners, multiple key technologies have been breakthrough. The platform achieves deep integration of functional modules including structure, hydrodynamics, offshore engineering, intelligent forecasting, contract design, and digital submission/review. It forms a unified software platform embedded into the core ship design workflow, offering designers a single-entry, user-friendly new capability for marine CAE services.
The Wave Platform has already been validated by more than 15 design institutes and shipbuilding enterprises, and successfully applied in over 10 real ship projects, including the “Adora Magic City” cruise ship, very large crude carriers (VLCCs), and LNG carriers. Its introduction is set to inject new momentum into the intelligent and high-end development of the industry.
During the exhibition, Professor XIA Guihua, Chief Scientist of the Wave Platform, systematically presented its core functions, application scenarios, and profound impact on the development of China’s shipbuilding industry, drawing significant attention from attendees.
