We focus on continuous development and offering new digital solutions in the section, and we have fully digital services and our own in-house software as well as using leading industry tools such as DNVs Sesam package and the commercial finite element program Abaqus.

The structures section is the perfect place for young engineers to shape the future of their careers among experts and likeminded talents.

 

Our section offers a wide array of services to the maritime and offshore industries, such as:
 

• Structural condition assessment and digital hull monitoring
• Fatigue analyses from full stochastic to prescriptive 
• Extreme response covering buckling, collision, and extreme loading
• Alternative fuels and containment systems for gas and emerging technologies such as liquid hydrogen and CO2 transport, including carbon capture and storage
   

We are recognized leaders in advanced structural analysis for the maritime and offshore industries, delivering high-impact expertise for complex assets including cruise ships, LNG carriers, bulk carriers, tankers, FPSOs, and wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs). In recent years, we have pioneered the development of digital twins for structural condition monitoring and expanded our fully digital online services for customers worldwide.
