Projects Ship Design

Specialised vessels are tailor-made ships designed to perform very specific tasks or to transport cargoes that cannot be handled by conventional vessels. Their design, equipment, and operational features are optimized for efficiency, safety, and reliability in demanding conditions. Smart Design 2006 has extensive experience in ship design across a wide range of vessel types, including specialized.

- OSV ships (Offshore Support Vessels) are versatile specialty ships designed to support offshore operations such as platform supply, anchor handling, construction, and maintenance, and Smart Design has proven experience in modelling these vessels and delivering the complete documentation package required for their construction.

- OSCV ships (Offshore Subsea Construction Vessels) are highly specialized offshore vessels designed to perform complex construction, installation, and maintenance work on the seabed. They require advanced technical knowledge and experience in their modelling and design. Smart Design 2006 has the knowledge and experience to deliver complex vessel projects successfully.

- PSV (Platform Supply Vessels) are specialized offshore ships designed to transport equipment, materials, fluids, and personnel between shore bases and offshore installations, requiring highly optimized hull forms, deck layouts, and cargo systems—an area in which Smart Design 2006 brings competence in ship design and engineering.

- DVS (Diving Support Vessels) are specialized ships designed for underwater construction and maintenance in the oil and gas and renewable energy sectors. Smart Design 2006 applies its ship design and engineering expertise to carefully engineered hull forms, deck layouts, and integrated diving and ROV systems supporting complex offshore operations.

- AHS (Anchor Handling Ships) are specialized offshore vessels designed for anchor handling, towing, and mooring operations, where Smart Design 2006 applies its ship design and engineering expertise to robust hull forms, powerful propulsion systems, and optimized deck layouts supporting demanding offshore activities.

- Cable layer vessels are specialized deep-sea ships designed for the installation of subsea telecommunication, power, and military cables, distinguished by dedicated cable handling systems such as bow or stern sheaves that guide and control cable deployment with Smart Design 2006 contributing tailored ship design solutions to support accurate and efficient cable-laying operations.

- Research vessels are specialized ships designed to support scientific surveys, oceanographic research, and data collection, where Smart Design 2006 focuses on vessel designs that ensure stability, low noise levels, optimized layouts, and seamless integration of research systems, enabling accurate and uninterrupted scientific operations.

- Seismic vessels are specialized ships used for offshore and deep-sea seismic surveys to identify suitable subsea locations for oil and gas exploration, requiring complex vessel design solutions that are successfully addressed through our engineering expertise.

- Drillships are specialized vessels designed for offshore exploratory and scientific drilling operations, often operating in deepwater and ultra-deepwater environments, where advanced engineering knowledge and cutting-edge design technologies are essential to integrate drilling systems, structural strength, and dynamic positioning capabilities safely and efficiently.

Specialised vessels are purpose-built ships designed for complex offshore, subsea, research, and drilling operations where conventional designs are not sufficient. Their design requires advanced engineering, optimized hull forms, and the integration of highly specialized systems. Smart Design 2006 addresses these challenges through strong ship design expertise and coordinated, high-quality engineering solutions.
