LR Rules as Engineering Intelligence

LR is transforming its hull structure rules through advanced, up to date standards with a strong technical foundation, moving from prescriptive requirements towards a more goal-based approach that supports more predictable, transparent, and optimised design at the earliest stage.  

By embedding class intelligence directly into the design workflow, LR helps shipyards and designers reduce iteration, improve traceability, and move toward approval with greater confidence. Rule checks become part of client's automated workflows. 

This event will explore why bringing class insights into the design phase earlier can help streamline the overall process. 

The session will also explore the benefits of 3D model-based approval and the role of the Open Class eXchange (OCX) standard in enabling greater interoperability across the ship design and approval process.
