Design and Engineering

Our engineering team consists of skilled structural engineers and naval architects.  We focus on finding cost efficient and good solutions to complex problems by applying and combining established engineering principles, various analysis techniques and practical experience.  

Over the years we have developed an extensive database of in-house engineering tools for fast and easy calculations of common problems. For more complex challenges, we possess a modern and extensive software package for structural analysis and marine simulations. 

Range of typical deliveries: 

  • Motion & accelerations response analyses 
  • Stability and ballasting analyses 
  • Grillage and sea fastening design 
  • Lifting analyses 
  • Mooring analyses 
  • Towing analyses 
  • Deck strength analyses  
  • SPMT stability  
  • Bollard pull calculations 
  • Towing arrangement verification
