Design verification

Minimise the commercial impact of new build, re-build and conversion projects by opting for professional assistance that verifies the chosen design solutions, novel as well as conventional.

Todays technology prompts owners, operators and yards to design projects far more ambitious than ever cutting costs and construction time by optimising performances.

Professional and effective design verification Your new build, rebuild or conversion project is always at risk of being compromised by unexpected design issues: poor manufacturing or unmet building specifications.

New technology requirements continue to challenge owners, operators and yards to set new standards for design which increases performance and reduces manufacturing and operating costs. Todays commercial shipbuilding is being challenged by globalisation, with a significant growth in ship yards and a span in quality of manufacturing.

This challenge to shipbuilding calls for a new level of design verification. As owner, operator or yard technical guidance and support from a third party consultancy will help ensure that your project is delivered on time, according to expectations and within budget avoiding unfortunate consequences for continued operation that easily becomes costly for all parties involved.
