Structural design of steel and composite ship structures, including strength assessment and optimisation based on classification rules. The design process focuses on achieving efficient and reliable structural solutions that balance strength, weight, and manufacturability.

The approach combines analytical methods and rule-based calculations to define primary structural members, including hull girder, secondary structure, and local reinforcements. Particular attention is given to load transfer mechanisms, structural continuity, and critical areas subjected to high stress concentrations.

Structural assessment is carried out using a combination of rule calculations and numerical methods. Global and local structural behaviour is evaluated with respect to strength, buckling resistance, and serviceability requirements. Design iterations are performed to improve efficiency, reduce structural weight, and ensure compliance with classification society requirements such as DNV, BV, RINA, and CRS.

Structural design and assessment of yachts, workboats, and pleasure craft, including laminate plans, workshop drawings, and production follow-up. The work includes development of composite and lightweight structures in accordance with ISO standards and CE certification requirements. Special attention is given to material selection, laminate stacking sequences, and local reinforcement of highly loaded regions.

Structural concepts are developed with production feasibility in mind, ensuring compatibility with production methods and shipyard practices. Laminate plans and structural arrangements are optimised for weight reduction while maintaining required strength and stiffness.

Production follow-up supports implementation of design solutions and ensures alignment between design intent and final structure.

Advanced finite element modelling of marine structures, including global and local strength analysis, buckling assessment, and structural verification. Numerical simulations are used to evaluate structural response under operational and extreme loading conditions. Models range from simplified global analyses to detailed local models of critical structural components.

FEA enables detailed analysis of stress distribution, deformation, and stability. Particular attention is given to:

• highly stressed areas
• load introduction points
• foundations and supports
• buckling-sensitive structures

Results are interpreted in accordance with classification rules to ensure reliable and safe structural performance.

Preparation of class drawings, workshop documentation, and tender packages in accordance with classification society requirements. The documentation process covers all stages of design development, from preliminary layouts to detailed production drawings. Deliverables are tailored to project phase and client requirements.

Documentation supports communication between stakeholders, including shipyards, designers, and classification societies. Clear and structured technical drawings ensure efficient approvals and smooth project execution. Typical deliverables include:

• structural drawings
• construction details
• material specifications
• class submission packages

Development of CE technical files, ISO-based calculations, and compliance documentation for small craft and workboats. The process includes structural assessment in accordance with ISO standards and preparation of documentation required for regulatory compliance.

Technical files include:

• structural calculations
• stability (if applicable)
• material data
• compliance statements

The goal is to provide complete and consistent documentation to support certification and market approval.

Independent technical advisory, project coordination, and engineering support for shipyards and design offices. Consulting services focus on providing practical and efficient engineering solutions across different project phases, from concept to production.

Support includes:

• technical evaluation of designs
• review of structural solutions
• coordination between stakeholders
• support during tender and execution phases

The emphasis is on delivering clear, actionable recommendations based on engineering knowledge and practical experience.
