With the pressing need to combat climate change, greener designs for complex engineering objects like ships are essential. Our research focuses on harnessing the power of generative AI to create innovative solutions that contribute to a greener future for shipping. The image depicts ship designs generated using our tool that allows designers to explore new and unseen design spaces for more sustainable and efficient ships.
