Ship Design and Engineering
New Vessel Design
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Every project initiates with the Concept Design phase, a stage where we channel our enthusiasm for innovation and creativity to thoroughly explore a spectrum of design possibilities. Throughout this process, we remain deeply attuned to the client's operational prerequisites and financial considerations. Leveraging our extensive experience and a rich portfolio of reference designs, we gradually refine a range of concepts, gradually giving form and structure to the vessel. While each design is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the client, a typical concept design package encompasses the following key elements:
-
Vessel Description
-
General Arrangement & External Profile
-
Preliminary Lines Plan
-
Initial Weight Estimate
-
Empirical Speed & Power Projections
TENDER & CONTRACT DESIGN
After completing the Concept Design phase, we progress to the tender/contract design stage. Here, we further refine the concept design to a level that enables shipyards to provide accurate cost estimates for the construction of your new vessel. Client deliverables during this phase include:
-
Updated General Arrangement & External Profile
-
Weight & Center of Gravity Calculations
-
Speed & Power Calculations
-
Detailed Lines Plan
-
Preliminary Loading Conditions & Stability Calculations
-
Tank & Capacities Plan
-
Contract Specification
-
Equipment Numbers, Freeboard & Tonnage Calculations
-
Midship Section, Typical Fore & Aft Sections
-
Engine Room Layout
-
Electrical Load Balancing & Principal Single Line Diagram
Throughout pivotal commercial negotiations with shipyards, we offer expert support, including:
-
Planning and Cost Assessments
-
Assistance with Purchasing and Procurement
-
Shipyard Evaluations
-
Supplier Assessment, Negotiations, and Selection
-
Review of Third-Party Designs, Specifications, and Contracts
BASIC ENGINEERING
During this stage, the design undergoes optimization to align with the client's requirements and the standards set by the classification society and flag state. Calculations and drawings are refined into a comprehensive basic engineering package for approval by the classification society. Close collaboration with the shipyard is an integral aspect of this design phase to ensure the realization of the client's objectives. While the specific deliverables for this design phase can be tailored to meet individual needs, they typically encompass the following:
-
Technical Documentation and Plan Approvals
-
General Design
-
Hull Structure
-
Outfitting and Equipment
-
Accommodation
-
HVAC and Piping Systems
-
Propulsion and Machinery
-
Electric and Automation
-
Build Specifications
-
Project and Contract Management
-
Site Supervision and Inspection, along with Technical Support
DETAIL ENGINEERING
After finalizing the primary construction plan for the Class-approval package, the detailed design phase can commence. The engineering team then transforms the comprehensive construction plan into an 'as-built' package, which includes all the production details and cutting files required by the shipyard.
