From first sketch to sea trials.

Our newbuilding desk combines extensive experience with shipyards around the globe and thorough market research — a complete service from the initial design ideas to the delivery of the vessel.

Broker & innovator

We do more than connect vessel owners with shipyards — we actively develop and promote ship designs tailored to market demand.

Together with our market intelligence, we engage in the design of efficient and scalable standard types that are developed with owners and operators in mind.

Working alongside international ship design studios and close partners, we deliver customised solutions across multiple segments, with particular emphasis on MPP / heavy-lift and shortsea vessels.
