    CAMBRIDGE, England, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- AVEVA (LSE: AVV) 
announced today that it has made further enhancements to its AVEVA 
Marine portfolio.
    With a main focus on interoperability, this new release of the AVEVA 
Marine portfolio now offers AVEVA's marine customers extended 
possibilities for data exchange between various sources.
    AVEVA Marine users will now be able to integrate P&IDs and schematic 
diagrams coming from various systems, including the AVEVA P&ID 
solution.
    This brings a real benefit to customers as they are now free to 
select their P&ID system from various sources and even to integrate 
P&IDs from other authoring systems into a complete model of their 
project.
    AVEVA Marine now also offers a completely new Mechanical Equipment 
Interface product using the Step AP203 format. This allows AVEVA 
Marine users to easily import mechanical equipments from various 
sources - generally generic or mechanical CAD systems - and utilize 
them in the model as any Outfitting component. Equipment models, like 
main engines, compressors or pumps can now be directly supplied by 
the manufacturer and placed with great accuracy in the 3D model, thus 
reducing the risk of errors.
    Finally, more interoperability between Plant and Marine Outfitting 
can be achieved as data in both databases is now made fully 
exchangeable. This will allow customers using AVEVA's solutions both 
in the plant and the marine sectors to share their models in a much 
easier way. As an example, FPSO designers and builders will now be 
able to share the same data model for the Outfitting part of the 
vessel and the top-side. This leads to reduced design time and better 
consistency between top-side and floating platform design.
    Bruce Douglas, Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy at 
AVEVA said:
    "AVEVA Marine is an integrated solution for shipbuilders, ship 
designers and ship operators. It allows engineers and designers on 
multiple sites to concurrently create, control and manage change to 
engineering, design and production data as a project is developed, in 
the most productive and risk-free way."
    Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA said:
    "Earlier this year, we announced the introduction of AVEVA 
Instrumentation and AVEVA Diagrams to the plant and marine 
portfolios. These products, plus the latest enhancements, have further 
strengthened the AVEVA Integrated Design and Engineering offer both 
to our ship operators and shipyards clients.
    "For ship operators we have an Operations Information Integrity 
solution that delivers real cost savings. And for ship builders and 
ship design agents, our Integrated Project Execution solution saves 
time and money during the project."
