Naval Architecture

With over 30 years’ experience in the field of naval architecture BMT Nigel Gee is among the leaders in the field. Our expertise is demonstrated by a portfolio of in-service designs covering all hull form types, speed regimes, propulsion systems and construction materials.

The scope of our naval architecture services include:

• Concept Design Development

• SpecificationWriting

• Hull-form Design and Development

• Computational Fluid Dynamics

• Performance Predictions

• Propulsion System Design

• Sea-keeping Analysis

• Hydrodynamic Model Testing

• Manoeuvring Simulations

• WeightEngineering

• Stability Analysis

• AerodynamicWindTunnelTesting

• Loadline and Other Statutory Calculations

This breadth of scope enables us to deliver insightful naval architecture at any stage of a project: from early concept and feasibility studies, contract and Class level design to detailed production engineering, commissioningandrefit.Workingacross all stages of design, production,commissioningandrefit,we can advise the correct level of scope and project structure to deliver maximum added value, minimise technicalriskandengineeringcost.

Wehaveanestablishedreputationasaleaderinthefieldofhullformdevelopment and marry our breadth and depth of experience in the yacht, commercial and naval markets to deliver designs tailored for good sea-keeping ability, low resistance, high propulsiveefficiencyandexceptionalrange.Ourportfolioextendsfarbeyond conventional monohulls and covers the development of specialist hull forms such as catamarans, SWATHs,hydrofoilsandaircushionedvessels.Weinvestinresearchanddevelopment of new and novel hull forms and hold patents for innovative multihulls,hybridSWATH,monohullandcatamarandesigns.

Additionally our background in configuringconventional,unusualandhigh-tech propulsion systems coupled with the integration of stabilisation and dynamic positioning systems allows us
