How Ships Meet Systems – Where Your Concept Comes to Life
Naval Architecture refers to the ship’s hull, the hull’s form, resistance, the exterior rudder, outward appearance, and the overall general arrangement. Marine Engineering refers the ship systems, machinery, electrical generation, equipment modules, and auxiliary equipment on a ship, submarine, or platform.
A couple of decades ago these two engineering disciplines performed their tasks in sequence; the marine engineer limited by the architectural design of the ship. However, in our modern design age, these two aspects and their integration can be conducted in parallel using the same design software by the same design engineer. This enables ship design to accommodate flexible systems and equipment.
Our team includes experienced Naval Architects and Marine Engineers specialized in Flexible Ship and marine vehicle design. We can support all phases your platform needs. From platform and systems acquisition to concept research and development to operations and maintenance we will partner with you to ensure your design is flexible and able to incorporate emerging technologies in an ever-changing threat environment.
