This work develops a framework for conceptual ship design, accounting for the risk-based life cycle assessment. The framework deals with the conceptual ship design, risk-based target structural reliability assessment, risk-based maintenance, fast hull geometry prototyping and shipbuilding management. The developed framework, that will integrate different tools, does not address the requirements of one specific SME shipyard. Any potential shipyard can use the framework by providing the input information in terms of the building capacity and labour cost of new buildings and the framework will provide the required design solutions. The SME shipyard may also study what kinds of measures are needed to upgrade the already implemented technology and infrastructure so that the new ship design may be built.
