Our know-how at your service.

No Refit project is alike, and each project comes with its own unique set of challenges, either on the regulatory front, the design integration, or the production feasibility. We have worked on multiple complex refit projects and understand the challenges that you, as an owner face to translate your vision into the result. We can step in along various parts of the project, providing initial design suggestions, detailed structural and systems drawings for production and onsite management.

Planning and preparation in anticipation of any yard time and subsequent supervision to ensure that jobs are carried out as planned, and to the desired standards, are two essential steps in capitalising on investment and effort. We ensure the project timelines are adhered to and that the desired quality is maintained.

During the new build of both commercial as well as yacht projects, we can provide the technical support and advice required in assisting the owner and its team in managing the full spectrum of the project. Our objective throughout this process is delivering within the scope of the project, timeously and aware of all the moving parts, integrating risk assessments to avoid any possible disputes further down the line. 

By constantly monitoring the evolving world of marine regulation, we keep track of the present and future National and International requirements applicable to the various ship types. Whether these requirements incorporate an issue following a Port State Control inspection, a general query or even assistance in relation to upgrading or converting ships, we have the necessary tools and know-how to steer you through the pertinent International and National Regulations, particularly SOLAS, Load Line, MARPOL 73/78, the Torremolinos convention, STCW and various IMO Codes.

As the industry continues to push operational efficiency targets for sea-going vessels and the clients seek more efficient designs, the need for state-of-the-art designs and validation tools become a necessity to meet these milestones.

NAS utilises high-fidelity and advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers, to predict the performance of different vessel types and/or novel technologies, understand their hydrodynamic behaviour and fine-tune the forms and configurations to optimal designs.
