Our design services are founded on the understanding that a ship is just one part of a total transportation system. It has always been our practice to take a total system approach to ship design in order to ensure that the vessel is optimized to meet the owner's shipping requirements.

Over the years, our emphasis has been in the design of commercial double-hulled ships. These include containerships, specialized bulk carriers, ro-ro's, and tankers. Our clients have been leaders in the marine industry, providing us with the opportunity to build a reputation for innovative, cost effective solutions.
