About us
We believe that world-class ship designs and high-quality engineering solutions can only be achieved in intensive cooperation with the customer.
NAVITECTURE was founded in early 2018 by the Naval Architect Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Damme, who contributes his vast experience as lead vessel designer in German high-class shipyards and ship design companies.
Due to the intimate familiarity of our team with the unique shipbuilding processes and most modern tools, we can offer our customers highly innovative, but economical and practical solutions.
We are experienced specialists for the highly complex ship types, like:
- Polar Vessel
- Research Vessel
- Naval and governmental vessels
- Specialized merchant vessels
We believe in the value of good customer relations and long-term partnership with our customers.
We efficiently support:
- Shipowners
- Shipyards
- Government agencies
- System suppliers
- Other ship design companies
- Customer interests/targets our 1st priority
- Develop solutions to optimize ship performance/operation
- Purpose-driven design and consultancy
- Vessel design to budget
- Vessel design for easy and cost-effective construction and operation
- Appealing vessel appearance
- Reliable partner and absolute discretion
- Fast and responsive cooperation with high engagement
- Optimal project processes with close customer involvement
- Highly skilled expertise updated on the latest trends and standards
- Creative, flexible process from 1st design sketch to 3D general arrangement
- Reliable geometrical basis by using 3D from 1st design phase
- Applying the most modern tools for design, ship stability, CFD and FEM
- Highly sophisticated in-house developed software tools
- In our optimized processes of designing vessels, we combine innovative thinking and well-proven solutions
SERVICES
In this initial stage of the vessel development, the major parameters are defined. Due to the importance of this early phases on the overall project success, we are highly engaged to develop a competitive design for our customers.
The C³-Concept consists of:
- Carefully investigating with the customer of the vessel requirements, constraints and development targets
- Conceptual Design from 1st design sketches to the buildable design by creating the general arrangement, hull form, outline specification, datasheet and other important documents depending on the respective project needs
- Closest cooperation with our customer and to achieve the optimal result
In the next phase, the initial design is further refined and optimized to create:
- Shipyard tender package for shipowner or
- Shipyards reply to shipowners tender
During this phase, the following items are typically created:
- Detailed general arrangement
- Intact and damage stability incl. tank plan
- Fuel consumption and range calculations
- CAPEX/ OPEX investigations
- Specifications and tender documentation
- Structural design
- Hull form optimization
- Customer design review using powerful 3D visualization/virtual reality
- 3D modelling and rendering visualization
Performance Prediction and Optimizations
- Reliable, detailed Lightship weight, deadweight, payload calculations
- Hull Form optimization using CFD-calculations as well as seakeeping analysis
Vessel Structure
- Optimal structural design to ease production, high reliability and low weight
- Hull structure scantlings acc. class requirements
- Structural optimizations using global and local FEM linear analysis
- Vibration and non-linear FEM calculations applicable to steady-state and time-dependent problems.
Machinery and Electrical Systems
- Design for low-power consumption and high reliability as well as maintainability
- System selection and arrangement
- Various calculations e.g. load balance
- Integration of exhaust gas cleaning as well as alternative powering e.g. LNG or hybrid systems
