We Improve Your Vessel Operating Limits

Vessels are hampered by limitations everywhere.  For example:  cargo limits to maintain ship stability, crane limits to prevent dropping the load, structural limits to avoid breaking the ship.  Limits restrict vessel operations and restrain your business.  They permeate every aspect of commercial vessels.

DMS sees potential instead of limits.  We improve your business by pushing against vessel operating limits.  By conducting our own targeted research and development, DMS cultivates the science to push back boundaries and achieve more.  At DMS, we challenge you to see beyond the current restrictions of your ship.  Instead, ask what vessel capabilities you require to achieve your business goals.  DMS can help you achieve those goals.

Automation Achieves More

DMS believes in continuous improvement for ships, and for our own business.  We employ computer automation to constantly improve efficiency on a wide scope of tasks.  Computer automation can reduce the time (and cost) of a task from weeks down to days.  This lowers your total cost and allows more time for the engineers to focus on those critical stages that can’t be automated.  Let the engineers search for improvements to your vessel, and let the computers run the math.  Then everyone wins. 

The advantages of automation allow DMS to dive deeper into expanding your vessel capabilities.  We can rapidly revise the design and try several solutions.  This allows more room for creativity and fitting our solutions into your business needs.  At DMS, engineers do more than perform math and process spreadsheets.  We imagine a better future for your vessel and your business. 

Extraordinary Solutions

Automation does not limit us to just the routine work.  Occasionally, we all want something truly unique.  In these cases, DMS offers premium services to break ground and exceed expectations.  This includes advanced services like:

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Genetic optimization of concept designs
• Composite material engineering

We give you the freedom to imagine a better option.  But you still benefit from our groundwork in efficiency driven design.  Many premium projects include large portions of routine engineering.  We save cost on the routine, leaving you more budget to focus on the extraordinary.

You Call the Shots

At DMS, we work closely with the foremost expert for your vessel:  you.  We don’t force you into one vessel class.  Instead, we design to match your business.  No one else understands your business needs better than yourself.  We invest the time to break out of preconceptions and customize each vessel as the best asset in your business arsenal.  You get to decide what matters, and we listen.

 This focus on your needs also eliminates many crew frustrations.  The vessel operators and managers demonstrate an instinctive expertise that we gratefully utilize.  The little details matter.  Sea yarns transform into design suggestions.  Your suggestions turn into design improvements.  Efficient ship designs revolve around efficient crew.  At DMS, the design process revolves around the end user, you. 

Your Advisor and Partner

DMS develops partnerships with our clients, based on mutual respect.  Long before our clients need our services, we offer free education about ship design topics.  Informed clients are better armed to make the best decisions.  And we listen.  We ask about your business and ships; we try to anticipate your needs.  Our partnerships grow from respect, not a mere exchange of money. 

And DMS will be ready to help on your next challenge.  We offer engineering services, free educational articles, and more.  Contact us for free general advice or project plans to prepare for your future needs.  At DMS, every ship deserves a better future.
