Overview

Modifying a vessel's structure, systems, or general arrangement - or building new - typically requires naval architecture input to confirm the change is sound and, where relevant, to produce the documentation a classification society or authority will ask for.

We coordinate qualified naval architects for refit, modification, and new-build projects, working alongside the technical drawings and stability documentation these projects usually require.

Benefits

Coordination with qualified naval architects for refit and new-build work.

Works alongside technical drawings and stability booklet requirements.

Supports classification society submissions where structural changes are involved.

Single point of contact across a project's technical documentation.

Our process

  1. 01

    Project scoping

    We confirm the nature of the modification, refit, or new-build and what technical sign-off it will need.

  2. 02

    Naval architect assignment

    A naval architect experienced with the relevant vessel type and project scope is engaged.

  3. 03

    Design and documentation

    Technical drawings and calculations are produced to support the project.

  4. 04

    Authority/class submission

    Where required, documentation is submitted to the classification society or maritime authority for approval.

Required documents

  • Existing vessel drawings or specifications, where available
  • Description of the intended modification or new-build scope
  • Current classification or registration certificates

Frequently asked questions

Do I need naval architecture input for a minor refit?+

It depends on whether the refit changes structure, stability, systems, or authority-approved arrangements. We review the scope before advising.

How does this relate to technical drawings and stability booklets?+

Naval architecture often defines the technical basis, while drawings and stability documents package that work for review and approval.

Can you support a full new-build project?+

Yes. We can coordinate the naval architecture documentation needed from early concept through authority or class review.
