Mitsubishi Shipbuilding has received an order from the University of Tokyo for its MiPoLin, a power prediction and lines selection system.
As explained, MiPoLin is a web-based system utilizing over 1,200 tank test results and over 420 vessels’ hull forms from MHI’s Test Basin in Nagasaki City. Utilizing Mitsubishi Shipbuilding’s database, it estimates propulsion performance and generates hull forms for initial ship design and performance evaluation. The technology has been available since August 2022, targeting the maritime industry.
The system has already been available at the university’s Maritime and Ocean Digital Engineering Laboratory (MODE). MODE is a collaboration research program established on October 1, 2022 by seven companies including Mitsubishi Shipbuilding at the University of Tokyo.
MODE is working to build a simulation platform that will solve the problems faced by the Japanese maritime industry, and the large-scale tank test database provided by MiPoLin has been evaluated as being usable for building a model of the simulation platform planned by MODE.
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, through a variety of solutions, including MiPoLin, would like to promote decarbonization of the maritime industry and will contribute to realize a carbon-neutral society. Furthermore, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding will contribute to the development of the entire maritime industry by further enhancing the cutting-edge shipbuilding technologies and knowledge.
