How do I design my ship or oilrig in the most appropriate way? What should I take into consideration prior to constructing a new harbour? How can I train my ship’s officers in order to keep safety up to date? These are just some of the questions we can help you answering and afterwards help you to carry out in real life.

Our activities include consulting, software sales and courses within the following areas:

Ship design

• Resistance, self-propulsion, steering and manoeuvring and sea keeping
• Stability
• CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) calculations
• Physical model tests (240 m towing tank).

Aerodynamic problems

• Ship superstructures (smoke, current and load)
• Buildings (bridges, houses, stadiums and wind mills)
• Numerical calculations (CFD)
• Model tests (3 wind tunnels)
• Field measurements.

Oil/gas research and production

• Hydro and aerodynamic load and stability
• Platform station keeping
• DP holding capability
• Simulation of tow-out and installation processes.

Industrial Fluid Dynamics (IFD) and production optimisation

• Industrial processes
• Flow problems
• Calculations (CFD)
• Experiments
• Effectiveness and optimisation
• Statistical process control (SPC)
• Production flow simulation
• Man-machine interaction.

Simulation and training courses

• PC and full-mission simulators (SimFlex Navigator)
• On-board systems
• Training of ship’s officers (5 real-time simulators)
• Harbour design
• Human Factors Management.
