Vessel System Design.

We are passionate about the detail of design. We understand that a vessel’s systems are integral to how a boat operates and how well it performs its mission. Every aspect an EMS system is meticulously thought through with the vessel’s concept and end user in mind.

We pride ourselves in maintaining the most up-to-date sector knowledge and understanding of marine technologies so that we can offer solutions which optimise performance and efficiency. Our designs have the user experience, maintenance, cost effectiveness and sustainability considerations at their core.

We work with naval architects, shipyards, OEMs, and captains and owners of both new build and refit vessels to produce a complete systems package or we can work with you to design specific system.
