SafetyatSea works with ship designers towards achieving cost-effective ship safety and performance by providing specialist knowledge and advanced numerical analysis in support of ship design development.

Adding value to passenger ship design

Leading cruise shipyards and operators are increasingly undertaking the development of innovative ship concepts. SafetyatSea supports the development and verification of safety goals and objectives in relation to damage ship stability and ship survivability, fire safety and evacuation.

Our aim is to promote the use of contemporary knowledge and tools to ensure that safety standards are in line with modern safety expectations. We work with cruise vessel operators in the development and verification of casualty threshold requirements for flooding and fire in line with recent IMO safe return to port principles.

Rules compliance / safety evaluation

  • Intact stability / loading and stability
  • Damage stability / probabilistic rules
  • Ship’s vulnerability to flooding / dynamic flooding simulation / flooding damage control
  • Means of escape & evacuation plans / evacuation simulations
  • Alternative design & arrangements / safety studies

Ship performance evaluation

  • Naval architecture, hull and appendage optimisation
  • Seakeeping, green seas, slamming, passenger comfort
  • Manoeuvrability and Ship Handling
  • Resistance and general hydrodynamics by CFD and model testing
  • Funnel and superstructure optimisation by CFD for passenger comfort
  • Energy savings / dynamic energy modelling
  • HVAC comfort and noise
