Our field of expertise

Marine engineering

Marine engineering is the science discipline that involves hydrodynamics which focuses among others on ship stability, ship motions, mooring, subsea operations, and lifting. Obviously, hydrodynamics data play a crucial role in ship behaviour particularly during precise jobs at sea. The safe and stable functioning of all ship systems must be guaranteed for open sea operations to succeed. This makes marine engineering particularly versatile.

 

Maritime engineering investigates and calculates a ship’s functions at sea in special environmental conditions. After all, the influence of tide, wind and wave height should never be underestimated. When a ship goes out on an open sea mission, you want to be sure that workability during a precision job is assured.

 

A naval engineering company can provide the hydrodynamic data to prepare open sea or subsea operations. This is particularly important in offshore situations where various pieces of equipment are to be delivered and installed on-site. Professionals in marine engineering provide you with the information you need as a ship owner or operator to work as controlled and safe as possible.

Dedicated advice in marine engineering

Marine engineering studies the effect of dynamic characteristics on a ship during special operations at sea. For instance, a semi static or dynamic mooring analysis can be performed for a mooring spread of a ship performing subsea works like ploughing cables into the seabed. Furthermore, motion calculations can be performed to determine a ship’s response to wave conditions. By modelling the ship and simulating various wave conditions, we can predict the ship’s motions in different environmental conditions.
