Naval Architecture services
LINES PLAN - WEIGHT CALCULATION - STRUCTURE SCANTLINGS - STABILITY - RESISTANCE - CFD - SAIL PLAN - CLASSIFICATION - CONSULTANCY
'Naval Architecture' is a general name for a set of unique and specialised engineering skills used in marine design. We are trained and qualified naval architects. We are a member of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA)
Some typical naval architecture disciplines that we offer:
- Design of the hullshape (linesplan)
- Resistance and propulsion - including resistance with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
- Scantling calculations (dimensioning structural parts) - Including FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
- Weight calculation
- Hydrostatics and stability calculation (intact & damaged)
- Calculation of Self Righting / Roll Over Capabilities
- Calculation of Heeling due to using Cranes on vessels and barges - Checking maximum capacity of Crane lifting and reach
- Tank arrangements and optimised loading conditions
- Classification related issues and calculations (CE, Lloyds, BV, GL, MNZ, MOSS, Maritime New Zealand, etc)
- Sailplans and rigging details (for sailing ships)
- Conduction of stability tests (inclinating test)
- Making of stability booklets
