Naval Architecture
Naval Architecture: 3GA Marine Inc. prides itself on our attention to detail, when it comes to our naval architectural design. Technology is a key factor in naval architectural design, and we strive to keep our knowledge current with regular consultation with vendors and engineering software developers. Designing and modifying vessels that need to comply with a variety of regulatory bodies (Transport Canada, ABS, USCG, DNV GL, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas and many others) it is a critical task taken on by 3GA Marine to stay up to date with the latest regulatory changes.
To provide designs that truly work as intended, requires an intimate understanding of vessel operations. Our naval architects have gained experience working aboard ships and in shipyards. We partner with owners and operators to design vessels that are ideally suited to a specific purpose, by applying engineering solutions to meet the expressed needs of each client. Also, as naval architects and marine engineers, we seek to improve our design practices to benefit our environment. Examples include minimizing the use of hazardous materials and environmental contaminates in the design while seeking ways to minimize air emissions, energy use and discharges to water. We also look for ways to maximize use of recycled and recyclable material as well as rapidly renewable and regional materials.
Our Naval Architecture services include:
Concept, Preliminary, Contract and Functional Design
3GA Marine has experience in all levels of marine design with clients ranging from small vessel owners to government agencies.
Design Study Reports and Feasibility Studies
3GA Marine is capable of working with interested parties at all levels to assess vessel requirements or capabilities.
Vessel Conversion/Repowering Studies and Engineering
3GA Marine has the experience in vessel conversion and repowering to modify their vessels to be fit for purpose .
Vessel Stability Analysis
3GA Marine has the capability to assess your vessels stability and provide innovative/cost effective solutions when required.
Tonnage Measurement
3GA Marine has certified tonnage surveyors on staff to assess your floating assets.
3D Hull Development, Definition, and Fairing
3GA Marine have experienced staff and tools capable of providing clients a vessel that is fit for purpose for a vessel’s operations. Hull form development is critical for analysing a vessels performance in both design and during modification.
Advanced Analysis, including FEA and CFD
3GA Marine has the experience and design tools required for advanced vessel design, see Advanced Analysis
