Services
Naval Architecture
Our naval architecture services cover hull form generation, stability calculations, and regulatory compliance. We develop efficient vessel designs that meet owner requirements and classification society standards. Our expertise includes general arrangements, resistance calculations, and maneuverability analysis for new builds and vessel modifications.
Structural Analysis
We perform detailed structural analysis using finite element modeling and first principles calculations. Our services include hull scantling calculations, midship section development, and vibration analysis to ensure structural integrity meets ABS, DNV, and US Navy standards for both new and existing vessels.
Marine Engineering
Our marine engineering services cover propulsion systems, piping design, and machinery arrangements. We provide equipment specification and system design for ventilation, exhaust, and steering systems that optimize vessel performance while meeting current regulatory requirements for commercial and government vessels.
Vessel Modifications
We specialize in cost-effective vessel modifications including re-powering, tank modifications, and structural upgrades. Our solutions help vessels meet new regulations, improve efficiency, and extend service life while minimizing shipyard time through detailed planning and engineering support.
Production Support
Our production support includes detail design, drydocking calculations, and on-site technical assistance. We provide unit lift planning, regulatory liaison services, and hurricane mooring calculations to ensure smooth vessel construction and modification processes in both inland and offshore environments.
