Design & Engineering
Redesigning Ship Design
With our multi-disciplinary team, we can provide assistance from the early steps of a project, through feasibility studies, concept design, to providing a full engineering and production package, up to financing, yard selection and production support. Small or big, newbuilding or conversion, our team is ready to take up a next challenge.
Our Design Solutions
At the core of every successful maritime project lies a robust design foundation. Our Ship Design and Development services include everything from concept creation to detailed engineering, ensuring your vessel meets operational, functional, and aesthetic needs. Whether it’s conceptualizing innovative designs, executing precise basic engineering, or creating realistic 3D visualizations, we guarantee a comprehensive approach tailored to your requirements.
Concept Design
Our concept design service transforms initial ideas into viable vessel designs, incorporating market requirements, operational needs, and innovative solutions. Through detailed analysis and creative thinking, we develop preliminary designs that balance functionality, efficiency, and future-proof features.
Basic Design
Our basic design service translates conceptual ideas into comprehensive technical specifications and arrangements, forming the foundation for detailed engineering work. We deliver complete design packages including general arrangements, lines plans, and essential calculations that ensure your vessel meets all required specifications and regulations.
Detailed Engineering
Our structural engineering team develops comprehensive design packages that detail every aspect of your vessel’s construction, from hull structure to outfitting elements. We combine advanced computational methods with practical building experience to ensure designs are both structurally sound and efficiently buildable.
Turning Vision into Viable Reality
Concept Design
Concept design is the most critical stage of a vessel’s lifecycle, where the foundation for performance and cost-efficiency is laid. At Conoship International, we treat this as a continuous, data-driven process. We iteratively refine functional requirements, operational goals, and regulations to ensure the final concept is not just feasible, but market-leading.
We engineer competitive advantages during the early stages of the design & engineering process, giving you an immediate head start. By integrating principal dimensions, advanced propulsion philosophies, and regulatory compliance (CII/EEDI) into a coherent blueprint, we provide a de-risked foundation for your investment.
Start with a Concept Review
Have an existing idea? We can conduct a high-level feasibility audit to identify potential cost-savings or efficiency gains before you move to basic design.
Why Choose Us?
Unbiased Innovation
As independent naval architects, our loyalty is to the project’s performance, not a specific vendor or shipyard.
Dynamic Future Proofing
We specialize in alternative fuels and modular designs that adapt to the energy transition.
Data Driven Certainty
Our concepts provide the precise budgeting and performance estimates required for board-level decision-making and yard negotiations.
Engineering for Class Approval & Operational Excellence
Basic Design
Our Basic Design service transforms ambitious concepts into a certified technical reality. We deliver complete design packages that serve as the definitive blueprint for shipyards and a guarantee of performance for owners.
Mechanical engineering
Our mechanical engineering services cover all aspects of shipboard systems, from propulsion and auxiliary systems to deck equipment and specialized machinery. We optimize each system's design for performance, maintenance accessibility, and energy efficiency while ensuring seamless integration with the vessel's overall design.
System diagrams
We create detailed system diagrams that map out every aspect of your vessel's mechanical, electrical, and auxiliary systems, ensuring optimal functionality and integration. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough documentation and 3D routing studies to prevent conflicts and optimize space utilization.
Safety, Stability & Compliance
Ensuring safety, stability, and regulatory compliance is critical in modern ship design. With our Assessments and Compliance services, we provide thorough analyses, including risk assessments, stability calculations, and HAZID/FMECA studies. Additionally, we guide clients in achieving sustainability goals with EEDI and EEXI evaluations, ensuring vessels are both safe and environmentally efficient. Our team’s expertise ensures that your projects not only meet but exceed industry standards.
HAZID Studies and FMECA for Green Tech
Rigorous safety protocols to make alternative fuel systems (Hydrogen, Ammonia, etc.) a reliable reality.
Probabilistic Damage Stability
Using advanced computational models to exceed safety standards and ensure robust operation in all conditions.
Load Line Optimization Studies
Maximizing cargo intake through sophisticated analysis of stability and strength criteria.
Regulatory Compliance Research

Engineering for Precision Construction
Detailed Engineering
Detailed Engineering is the bridge between a certified design and a physical vessel. At Conoship, we deliver comprehensive production packages that translate complex naval architecture into clear, executable instructions for the shipyard. Our goal is simple: zero conflicts on the shop floor.
The Production Package
3D Construction Modeling
We build a complete digital representative of the vessel, identifying and resolving spatial clashes before the first plate is cut.
Workshop & Section Drawings
High-fidelity 2D outputs derived directly from the 3D model, ensuring optimal accuracy in assembly.
Advanced Piping Routing
Sophisticated routing of systems and machinery spaces to optimize flow, maintainability, and ease of installation.
Production Data & Cutting Files
Providing the precise CNC data needed for automated steel cutting and outfitting, drastically reducing shipyard lead times.
