In the (recent) past, ships were designed by experience, extrapolation of existing technologies and rules and regulations of classification societies (CS). Since computational computer power is increasing rapidly, (ship-) structural designs are more and more driven by direct analysis.

Damen Naval has the ambition to develop a methodology for Hull Condition Monitoring that incorporates the use of the ships digital twin, a virtual model prepared during the design stage. Combined with wave and sensor monitoring, it vastly enhances the value of predictive and preventive maintenance.

The ability of naval vessels to resist operational loadings is one of the main design drivers for the structural design of these vessels. Operations in heavy seas induce huge loadings such as pressures, accelerations, bending moments and shear forces. Secondly, local loads coming from tank pressures

The ability of naval vessels to survive and remain operational after being attacked is of paramount importance to their operators and crew. For the military, a well-designed vessel should be able to withstand an attack, stay afloat and in control, as well as retain the ability to defend itself. For

Electrical systems are at the core of almost every project, transporting energy throughout the ship and ensuring that all systems have sufficient power to function. Damen Naval is continuously improving its products and developing the next generation of electrical systems is a key part of those deve

Propulsion and energy systems are at the core of almost every project, determining for a large part the performance of a ship at sea and ensuring that energy stored on board is used as efficiently and effectively as possible. Damen Naval is continuously improving its products and developing the next

Damen Naval is continuously improving its design process with emphasis on the light/fast use of a variety of design and CAD tools in early concept design phases. This means the existing 2D/3D CAD tooling is being coupled with smart database systems
