Ship Design and Consultancy Services

The process of Shipbuilding involves collaboration between the Shipyard and various other agencies like the Design Agency, Classification Society, OEMs, etc. The data generated at the early stages of design lays the foundation of a good plan which is so essential for Shipbuilding.

The Engineering knowledge & experience, coupled with proven IT capabilities and with experienced Project Managers, is what makes us better equipped to handle the highly collaborative nature of Ship Design / Shipbuilding.

We at MARITCONS, have the expertise and experience in Concept Design, Basic Design, Production Design and Documentation and Customized Software Development catering to specific needs of a Shipbuilder, Ship Owner / Manager and Classification Society. We are a group of Naval Architects, Marine Engineers and Software Developers with years of experience in Ship Design, Ship Building, Classification, Software Development and Project Management.

We can undertake any part of your design as per your requirement or will be happy to undertake complete Design.

Our broad areas of Service:

  • Ship Design services – River going ships, Ocean going ships – primarily Cargo and Utility vessels
  • Ship and Offshore Structure – Detail / Production Design
  • Procurement Engineering Consultancy
  • Project Management in Shipbuilding
  • Consultancy services across Ship Life cycle

While our Naval Architects and Engineers have designed Tankers, Bulk Carriers, Tugs, Pilot Vessels, Crane Boats, etc., our Production Design Team has worked on Bulk Carrier, Container Ships, Tankers, PSV’s, AHTS, Multipurpose Vessels, Jack up Rigs and FPSOs.

Project Management

While there are various aspects to be managed in a highly collaborative environment, often managing the stakeholders from across the world - Project Management plays an important role in integrating. It’s evident that you have your own Project Management team – we are there to assist you with analyzed data, helping you take decisions. Some specifics are as given below:

  • Construction Status Monitoring
  • Ensure Compliance to Requirement
    (Specification to Design to BOM to Construction)
