Our highly trained designers can keep you fully informed throughout the entire design process – ensuring the end product is tailored to your specific requirements. A brief description of the steps involved in a typical new build project is as follows:-

• Initial discussions with client
• Feasibility Study if requested
• Conceptual design arrangement
• Preliminary design calculations
• Continue discussions with client as required
• Finalise design arrangement
• Prepare Design Specification
• Prepare tender documentation and specification if required
• Detailed design calculations – weight estimates, preliminary hull form design, preliminary stability data etc
• Finalise Hull model and generate lines plan
• Finalise design calculations using final hull model and lines plan, produce hydrostatics, KNs, subdivision calc etc. based on conditions and class of survey required.
• Structural Design calculations.
• Preparation of hull construction drawings.
• Finalise hull construction drawings and superstructure Drawings
• Continuous checking throughout all stages of design and plan preparation
• Regulatory Body Submissions
• Prepare engineering drawings:- shafting, coupling, rudder, piping, etc.
• Loadline – if required, prepare loadline drawing and calculate loadline
• On completion of vessel:- if required, conduct sea trials, conduct inclining experiment, prepare stability report.
• Vessel Handover
