Our
extensive portfolio of vessel designs comprises a broad spectrum of multi-purpose
and purpose-built ships, with an array of proven vessel designs currently
under license. These include: passenger, passenger/vehicle and high speed
ferries; Logistic Supply Vessels; RO/RO barges; river operations command
centers; and submarine docking tugs. Our hull conversions have ranged
from 90’ mid-body extensions to a unique, hinge-connected section
to enlarge White’s Ferry, which we originally designed some years
earlier.

Typical contract designs and bid packages for government operated ships range from NOAA research vessels to Coast Guard tenders and the reflagging of non-US built ships for Sealift purposes. Modifications have included upgrades in habitability, deck and mooring equipment changes and foundation design, bow thruster installation specifications, and stability analyses.
We have completed conceptual designs for 500 to 3080 TEU open top containerships (our Convertible Container Carrier or CCC) and conventional containerships; Modular Floating Jails; the conversion of a VLCC to a Very Large Mobile Offshore Base for the U.S. Navy; passenger, cruise, excursion and dinner boats; double hull tankers; arctic fishing boats and fish processing boats; as well as other multi-purpose vessels.
In addition, we routinely provide engineering services in such areas as stability, specifications, powering, emissions reduction, structures, finite element analysis (FEA), rudder design, noise and vibration mitigation, ship condition analysis and cost estimating.
All design related work is customized to our clients’ individual needs and goals in compliance with regulatory and class requirements, and is completed utilizing the latest versions of SolidWorks, AutoCAD and naval architectural software.
