.... The design of autonomous vessels presents the need for novel marine designs with the use of diverse skill sets, knowledge sets, and technical backgrounds from the early stages of the design process. In developing novel marine designs, explicit, implicit, and tacit knowledge is needed for the development...

.... This analysis is typically performed with the help of bespoke early-stage design tools. Traditionally, early-stage design tools are computationally cheap, but lack in accuracy. These tools have been developed based on gained design knowledge such as empirical and semi-empirical methods, historical data...

... knowledge, experience, and preferences, as well as to build consensus among stakeholders. This is essential, since early stage naval ship design has frequently been described as a wicked problem, as it is not only the product (i.e. the ship) which is still fluid, but more importantly the required...

...-user requirements. This relies on naval architects being able to seek information directly from specific stakeholders. For the academic: Marine educational programmes could be expanded so that in addition to the traditional engineering subjects other interdisciplinary knowledge is incorporated...

Afterwards the theory will have to be elaborated a bit more, and the students will have to practice with calculations, but first comes the understanding and only then the math. The master Marine Shipping Innovation focusses on maritime professionals that want to expand their knowledge...
