1. Vessel Design and Structural Engineering:
- Concept Design: Initial vessel layout, performance specifications, and overall structure.
- Detailed Structural Design: In-depth planning of hull structure, stability, and load-bearing capabilities.
2. Electrical Systems:
- Electrical System Design: Planning and layout of all electrical systems aboard the vessel, including power distribution, navigation lights, and internal/external lighting.
- Power Generation and Distribution: Systems that generate power (e.g., generators) and distribute it across various onboard systems.
- Battery and Energy Storage Systems: Integration of batteries and backup energy systems for seamless operation.
3. Plumbing and Water Systems:
- Fresh Water Systems: Installation and routing of potable water systems, including tanks, pumps, and filtration units.
- Black Water Systems: Design and management of sewage and waste-water systems, including holding tanks and treatment systems for both black water (sewage) and gray water (used water from sinks, showers, etc.).
- Ballast Water Management Systems: Systems to control the vessel’s balance and stability, often involving pumping systems for taking in or discharging water.
4. Mechanical and HVAC Systems:
- Engine and Propulsion Systems: Design and installation of engines, propellers, and auxiliary propulsion systems (e.g., bow thrusters).
- HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning): Design and installation of climate control systems to maintain onboard comfort, including ventilation systems for engine rooms and accommodation spaces.
5. Fuel Systems:
- Fuel Storage and Distribution: Design of fuel tanks and distribution systems to power engines and auxiliary systems.
6. Navigation and Communication Systems:
- Navigation System Integration: Design and installation of navigation systems including radar, GPS, and sonar systems.
- Communication Systems: Integration of radio, satellite communications, and other onboard communication equipment.
7. Safety and Fire Suppression Systems:
- Fire Detection and Suppression: Systems for fire detection, alarm, and suppression in critical areas like engine rooms and crew quarters.
- Life-Saving Appliances: Planning and installation of life rafts, life jackets, and emergency signaling equipment.
8. Interior Design and Accommodation Planning:
- Interior Layout Design: Planning for crew and passenger accommodations, galley areas, lounges, and more.
- Material Selection: Choosing marine-grade materials for interior and exterior construction to ensure longevity and safety.
9. Exhaust and Ventilation Systems:
- Exhaust Systems: Designing exhaust systems for main engines and generators.
- Ventilation: Systems to ensure adequate air circulation in living spaces, engine rooms, and storage areas.
10. Shipyard Bid Package Development:
- Creation of detailed plans, specifications, and documentation to solicit bids from shipyards for new construction, refit, or repair projects.
11. Stability and Hydrodynamics:
- Hydrodynamic Analysis: Ensuring the vessel is optimized for performance, fuel efficiency, and seaworthiness.
- Stability Calculations: Ensuring the vessel remains stable in various loading and weather conditions.
12. Classification and Regulatory Compliance:
- Ensuring all design and construction adheres to maritime classification societies (like ABS, RINA, or Lloyd’s Register) and complies with international and local maritime regulations.
