Design Support

Vuyk Engineering Groningen has engineered a number of special and award-winning commercial ships for respected shipyards and ship owners. The success of our approach to ship concepts has spread beyond Europe to Asia and China. We also take an active role in the design and concept phase of commercial ships, supporting builders and ship owners in the initial developments of their transport concept. This makes a valuable contribution to their operational profitability.

The synergy of serving both commercial ship owners and yards is very apparent in the design phase, as we think in more commercial and economic terms. This results in better logistics, smarter building sequences and techniques, and lower total costs of ownership rates. We also lead the way in ship’s function innovations and the application of the latest technologies. By involving us at the concept stage, your design will be approached from a more practical perspective, preventing any logistical, construction, mechanical or exploitation hick-ups in this early phase.

Adding a ‘Vuyk Design Development’ phase is an investment that is sure to pay dividends. Shorter lead times for production, complete logistic and purchase info schedules and less production hours for the yard are just some of the obvious benefits. We have all the required engineering disciplines in house to guarantee a proper ‘Risk Analysis’ or ‘Feasibility Study’ of a design, thus being able to advice all parties involved to achieve better results. If required we can liaise with other specialists/partners in our network to provide our clients with a ‘one-stop’ design team.
