The ship operator requires a ship that is optimised with regards to his specific requirements. One important part of the optimisation procedure is the hydrodynamic design, which highly influences the performance of the ship. SSPA offers advanced hull form and propulsion arrangement designs based on wide experience from model tests, simulations, calculations, and full scale experience, together with continuous research and development. SSPA draws upon its wide experience and consults the extensive databank of over 6000 hull forms preciously tested.

Areas of engagement are for example:

• Concept design and hull parameter studies
• Hull form design
• Propulsor design
• Design of appendages and energy saving devices
