Dual TrackImplementation Approach
Project participants split into two teams for early implementation
One Team of 3 Shipyards and their CAD Vendors first implemented APs 215 - Ship Arrangements and 216 - Ship Moulded Forms
- Included : Intergraph, KCS, and NNS
Second Team of 2 Shipyards and their CAD Vendors first implemented AP217 - Ship Piping
- Included : EB and Ingalls/Ciarrai
This approach enabled MariSTEP to perform successful transfers in both the Structural and Piping disciplines at a demonstration in Charleston, S.C. in August, 1998
The two teams subsequently switched tracks and the first team implemented AP217, while the second team implemented APs 215 and 216
