Share: VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 14, 2020 /CNW/ - Today Canada's Ocean Supercluster (OSC) announced its 16 th project with a total project value of more than $3 million. The Digital Ship In-Service Support Project comes from the OSC's Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program and brings together two Canadian marine industry leaders from Canada's west and east coasts to develop and commercialize 3D digital twin capabilities that will help make Canada more globally competitive, drive export opportunities, and create jobs in the marine sector. Led by British Columbia-based Seaspan Shipyards together with partner and Newfoundland and Labrador-based, Genoa Design International, the Digital Ship In-Service Support Project will receive $2 million from Canada's Ocean Supercluster with the balance of funding coming from the project participants. This represents the first Ocean Supercluster project to be led out of Canada's west coast. The relationship between Seaspan and Genoa was originally built under Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) and continues to thrive today including a teaming partnership for Canada's future Polar Icebreaker program. This type of outcome is exactly what the NSS was intended to create.
