These studies normally take place at the very earliest stages of a project in an effort to clearly identify the best vessel type and configuration for use in any new application. The demand for this type of front-end analysis typically comes from ship owners, government agencies, infrastructure consultants or resource-handling companies. Examples of services performed include:
* Cost estimates for
new construction, ship repair or refits, operating costs and life cycle costs
* Ship trials management
* Forensic engineering analysis of vessel casualties or incidents
* Icebreaking performance predictions
* Open water performance predictions
* Propeller optimization studies
* Resistance and propulsion analysis seakeeping and ship motions predictions
* Ship model testing
* Ship-berthing analysis
* Stability analysis
* Transportation system economic studies
* Tug escort and towing force analysis
* Vessel operational modelling
* Vessel procurement support
* Vessel surveys and valuations
