Technical expertise combined with innovative maritime design

design overview

Every concept starts as an idea…
this is where we come in.

Every concept starts as an idea, and this is where we come in.
We understand that marine projects can be technically challenging and that quick fix solutions do not exist. We also recognise that success comes to those who dare to dream, and this has given rise to our ethos of merging form and function, as we truly believe a successful project is one that looks great and performs.

Our team have had the privilege to lead various reputable marine stakeholders through the different development stages, from sketch to production, helping them convert abstract ideas and desires into marine assets that are functional, technically sound and beautiful.

Thank you for everything you have done for us.
I’m very impressed by how you managed to pull everything together last minute, especially when it came to the sports equipment and water toys.

capabilities

We have the in house
capabilities to provide:

Inhouse knowledge and expertise to cover the entire maritime design spiral
We appreciate that design is an iterative process, each step adding a layer to a creation, and we believe that detail is key. We have the capabilities to assist our clients through all the development stages and do so in a structured and thorough manner adhering closely to our clients wishes and demands.

Conceptual design

Conceptual Design. Understanding your needs

We make it a point to listen and learn, knowing very well that by doing so, we set solid foundations for any project. We strive to become a partner and provide the necessary guidance and advise to provide a solution that satisfies all parties involved. Ultimately, we aim to incorporate the clients’ requests while ensuring the technical feasibility of the proposal.

The process of establishing the exterior design starts with an initial consultation followed subsequently by a thoroughly interactive process. The vessels design takes shape together with the arrangement and initial technical studies until a quantifiable concept is established.

We provide:

Concept definition and Exterior Styling

Translating our clients’ desires into a functional platform enveloped within a captivating exterior design. We provide exterior sketches, 3D design models and detailed sketches to help define the concept.

Preliminary vessel performance

As part of defining the functional platform, we can incorporate our extensive naval architectural know how, to provide initial powering and stability input, ensuring that the concept designed will stay true to its philosophy through to the build.

Realistic visualizations

Whether a full vessel or a small detail, we can realistically visualize the finished effect to our clients. This can help in better understanding the design as well as be used as an effective sales tool.

Detailed Design and Engineering

Detailed Design and
Marine Engineering

We take going into detail seriously, understanding that well-designed details contribute to a superior final product. To ensure our quality standard, we follow an ISO qualified procedure, covering all the disciplines of marine design following the well-established marine design spiral and catering to new build designs, retrofit projects and specialist engineering services.

Detailed engineering encompasses all the steps to ensure the conceptual design is translated into a fully functional vessel. Due to the complex nature and interaction of the various disciplines when engineering a vessel, we strive to integrate all the disciplines into a single workspace. This is done through both our project planning and management approach, as well as designing the complete vessel on a common platform in 3D to ensure no surprises during the build.

Structural Design

We cover the initial structural design for Class approval up to the production of assembly, construction and working drawings for yard use. The entirety of this process is implemented into our CADMATIC Marine Design software package, providing a detailed 3D model of the vessel structure and components. The output is a highly detailed design package which can be handed over to a shipyard for production.

  • Structural Drawings
  • Finite Element Simulations
  • Cutting Files and BOM

Systems Engineering

The core functioning of the vessel is dictated by their systems and its efficient and well thought design. Ventilation, Fire Fighting, Fuel Oil and Sanitary systems are among the systems we can design and engineer, making use of the latest CAD/CAM design suites and laser scanning technologies. Our experienced engineers can deliver a turn-key solution to the project and help to complete the project in efficient and time saving manner.

  • 3D onsite scanning and pipe routing
  • Piping diagrams & Arrangement drawings
  • Fabrication drawings & Bill of Materials

Mechanical engineering and Outfitting

Outfitting and Mechanical engineering forms a crucial stage to the engineering design of the vessel and integration with the various disciplines is critical to ensure feasibility of the proposals. This requires close interaction with third party suppliers as well as effective collaboration between the client and the design team itself.

  • Outfitting arrangements
  • Technical Machinery Arrangements
  • Shaft line and Engine arrangements
