Ship design for vessels in operation

Successful major conceptual conversions are often characterised by making clear decisions and defining the project scope at the right time, keeping complexity, costs, and downtime within manageable limits.

With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, we work diligently to limit the scope of each project and ensure that the shipowner gains real value from every aspect of the project. We often achieve this through active involvement from the early planning stages and investment decision all the way through to the vessel leaving the shipyard.

In many cases, the investment decision coincides almost directly with the start of shipyard work. This requires precise and efficient execution of the design work, with short decision-making processes and a strong understanding of what is required to maintain the shipyard's production schedule and the shipowner's operational commitments. NSK Ship Design has a dedicated team working with vessels in operation to meet these requirements.

NSK Ship Design provides design, documentation, and project support for major vessel conversions. We convert existing vessels to meet new operational requirements, regulatory standards and market needs. Our team has extensive experience and a proven track record of delivering ambitious projects for a wide range of vessel types, while effectively managing complexity, costs, and timelines.

For more than 30 years, NSK Ship Design has delivered design and documentation for vessel modifications across a wide range of projects.

We focus on rapid response, a thorough understanding of technical challenges, and precise solutions that reduce overall project costs, minimise time spent at the shipyard, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

NSK Ship Design provides documentation and calculations for vessel mobilisations in offshore operations in accordance with class and/or MWS requirements.

Our operational experience from mobilisations — covering everything from operational planning and project follow-up at the shipyard to logistics planning — enables us to deliver cost-effective solutions within the often limited time available for planning and engineering.

This ensures the vessel is prepared safely and efficiently for operations within the available time window.
