Solutions for vessel owners

As an owner looking for additional vessels to add to the fleet, it is important to acquire the vessel with the greatest potential for commercial success - based on its motions in waves.  And once it is a part of your fleet, you want to know the investment is operating within its service limitations. Considering the dynamics of a vessel in waves can have one of the greatest impacts on a profitable operation, a seakeeping assessment of a vessel's fitness for purpose makes a lot of sense.

Ship Dynamics can offer

• an analysis for a potential or existing owner of a vessel, in waves that match those that exist on its proposed operating route. This will reduce the risk of adverse poor motion outcomes by allowing a more objective approach to vessel appraisal;
• a benchmarking of your vessel against other vessel's with a good reputation;
• a means to rank alternative vessels at purchase time based on a set of motion criteria and their corresponding predicted operability on the designated route;
• monitoring and data recording of the vessel motions during its operations to provide valuable feedback;
• advice to owners organising a tender specification for a new build so that seakeeping meets requirements. These services also extend to
  • purchasing a ship with seakeeping fitness for purpose;
  • the placing of a ship on an appropriate operating route; 
  • representing an owner, and 
  • assisting in the tender specification process.

The potential benefit to the owner will be

• an increase in demand for your vessel from operators and charterers through the demonstration of favourable motion characteristics, and
• a greater commercial return on the investment through better management and planning information.
