Work Process
We begin with a detailed analysis of operational requirements and environmental conditions. Our naval architects develop optimized designs for hull form, stability, propulsion, and deck arrangements. All systems are engineered for reliability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
Key Activities:
- Operational requirements analysis
- Naval architecture and stability calculations
- Hull design optimization
- Propulsion system selection
- Electrical and mechanical systems design
- Classification society coordination
- 3D modeling and production drawings
Steel or aluminum hull fabrication starts with precision cutting and forming. Structural frames are assembled, shell plating installed, and all welding completed to marine standards. Deck structures, wheelhouse foundations, and equipment mounting points are built according to specifications.
Key Activities:
- Material procurement and quality verification
- Plate cutting and forming
- Frame assembly and hull welding
- Deck structure installation
- Wheelhouse foundation construction
- Watertight bulkheads and compartments
- Tank construction (fuel, water, ballast)
Main engines, generators, propulsion systems, and auxiliary equipment are installed and aligned. Electrical, navigation, and communication systems are integrated. Piping systems for fuel, cooling, bilge, and fire fighting are installed and tested.
Key Activities:
- Main engine installation and alignment
- Propulsion system (shaft, propeller, or waterjet)
- Generator set installation
- Electrical distribution and controls
- Navigation and communication equipment
- Hydraulic systems installation
- Piping systems: fuel, water, bilge, fire fighting
- HVAC installation
The wheelhouse is equipped with navigation and control systems. Crew accommodations, galley, and sanitary facilities are completed. Safety equipment including life rafts, firefighting systems, and emergency gear is installed. Exterior finishing and painting are carried out to specified standards.
