- MiPoLin is a web-based system leveraging a comprehensive database comprising over 1,200 tank test results and more than 420 vessels’ hull forms from MHI’s Test Basin in Nagasaki City.
- The technology has been accessible since August 2022, with a primary focus on serving the maritime industry’s needs.
- MiPoLin has already been integrated into the operations of the Maritime and Ocean Digital Engineering Laboratory (MODE) at the University of Tokyo.
- MODE is a collaborative research initiative established on October 1, 2022, involving seven companies, including Mitsubishi Shipbuilding. It aims to address challenges in the Japanese maritime sector.
- MODE is actively working on building a simulation platform to tackle industry issues. MiPoLin’s extensive tank test database is deemed integral for constructing the simulation model planned by MODE.
Advancing Ship Design And Performance Evaluation
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.
MODE’s Integration Of MiPoLin
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.
