Concept development and engineering

Thanks to the continuing and purposeful development of our competence and a wide network of partners/subcontractors, we can now offer a complete range of services within the field of Total Ship Systems Engineering (TSSE). 

Design

Regarding the design of ship and marine applications, we have experience within the following fields:

• Hydrodynamics
• Speed and range predictions
• Hull design and materials
• Strength calculation, FE-Analyses and optimisation
• Propulsion and auxiliary systems
• Onboard systems, electrical, HVAC, hydraulic, piping
• Ship system surveillance and control
• Sensors, command- and control systems and weapons (Naval ships)
• Acoustics and vibrations
• Fire protection
• Damage control
• Stability (intact and damage)
• Vulnerability analysis and assessment
• Environmental issues

Systems engineering

A modern ship is a complex system and, when tackling a new design, a systematic approach is essential if you want to end up with a cost-efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly ship. Hence, there is a need for thorough Systems Engineering.

In our projects, we normally use the international Standard ISO/IEC 15288 Systems Engineering – System Life Cycle Processes, which we tailor to suit the ambition level in each project. The processes of current interest in the early life cycle stages in a typical ship design project include:

Project Management Processes

• Planning Process
• Assessment Process
• Control Process
• Decision Making Process
• Risk Management Process
• Configuration Management Process

Technical Processes

• Stakeholder Requirements Definition Process
• Requirements Analysis Process
• Architectural Design Process
• Implementation Process
• Integration Process
• Verification Process
• Validation Process
