Engineering office for shipbuilding
Tradition meets innovation
Welcome
The Engineering Office for Shipbuilding combines classic engineering science with modern IT expertise. Our goal is to make shipbuilding more efficient, safer, and more competitive through consulting, training, and powerful software solutions.
We offer comprehensive expertise in ship design, ship theory, and ship safety, supporting our clients with practical consulting and training. A particular focus is on the development and provision of specialized software that accompanies the entire design process and calculates the behavior of ships under realistic environmental conditions. We emphasize the use of numerical methods that not only comply with current scientific standards but have also been examined for reliability through systematic validation with academic and industrial partners.
What We Do
As experienced engineers, we offer well-founded consulting in all areas of shipbuilding. With in-depth expertise and decades of experience, we support you with complex questions and challenges in ship design, ship theory, and ship safety. Each consultation is individually tailored to your specific requirements. Our main focus is on the application and further development of the ship design software E4.
The Engineering Office for Shipbuilding sees itself as a reliable partner that combines technical expertise, digital innovation, and practical support.
Professional Development and Training
We impart up-to-date specialist knowledge through practical training and professional development courses. Our seminars combine theoretical foundations with practical application and are aimed at both beginners and experienced professionals. Participants benefit from our comprehensive knowledge base and its direct applicability to their daily work.
Our Design
Environment
The design environment we use and further develop has been created over many years within the framework of public collaborative research and has proven itself in practice with numerous industrial users and public institutions.
Continuously developed and validated, this resulted in a flexible software framework that bundles various numerical methods into one system. The concept offers particular benefits in the early project phase, where it reliably supports design engineers.
The concept is not a monolithic application, but rather a modular system of various tools, all based on a unified project database. This approach enables developers and users to contribute their knowledge in the form of specialized methods, thereby continuously expanding the system.
Furthermore, we provide a modern IT infrastructure that enables our partners to actively participate in the process of further developing IT tools. In doing so, it is important for us not to lose sight of the tension between cooperation and competition among our clients, so that each client can individually and freely decide which intellectual property should be shared or protected.
