Naval Architecture & Design
The unpredictable nature of the sea necessitates that ships are designed using the latest standards and technology to operate in this sometimes harsh environment.
Overall design must take into account structural feasibility, operational simplicity and maintenance capability, whilst at the same time remaining commercially viable. If any one small element of design or structural engineering is not correct this could end in disaster.
The Naval Architecture and Design Department (NADD) at Times Marine has some of the best Architects and Mechanical, Piping and Electrical Engineers who work alongside a team of Field engineers and Draftsmen on projects ranging from pleasure and tug boats to oil rigs and super tankers. They are all supported by our in-house team of ex-Master Mariners and Chief Engineers which ensures that we provide ‘the whole design package’.
