Designing for the Demands of the Real World
Designing a custom ship is a lot like designing a custom home, only your “foundation” floats, and the margin for error is razor-thin. At DMS, vessel design services go beyond blueprints and formulas. They translate your business goals into a high-performing, resilient asset.
We work side-by-side with you to create a vessel that meets your business’s goals and stands up to the unexpected—because out on the water, things don’t always go according to plan.
“Nick is a rockstar, I can’t speak highly enough about working with him. He is always one step ahead and is a master at working with regulatory bodies and finding creative solutions to problems that crop up along the way… I couldn’t recommend Nick more for naval engineering needs.”
Design smarter: design with DMS. From ideation to construction-ready plans, our vessel design services keep your budget, regulations, and long-term business goals in focus.
When you work with DMS, you’re working directly with an experienced naval architect who’s invested in your outcomes. We make the technical stuff accessible and keep you looped in at every step: no engineering degree required.
We take time to understand how your ship supports your business, whether it’s hauling cargo, serving tourists, launching research missions, or doing something entirely new. That insight fuels every detail of our naval architecture support.
DMS brings deep, cross-disciplinary experience from every corner of the maritime world. We’ve worked on everything from push-boats and ferries to research vessels and autonomous drones, but what really sets us apart is our ability to connect the dots between disciplines.
We’ve handled marine structural design and analysis, propulsion studies, regulatory compliance, power system integration, and more. Our broad skill set helps us uncover smarter solutions, faster.
Our vessel design services are backed by science, simulations, and strategy. We use tools like NeoShip (our proprietary design engine) to explore a wider spectrum of ideas and performance options. NeoShip allows us to test combinations you’d never find using traditional design methods, opening up room for creativity without compromising safety or budget.
The maritime industry has a reputation for adhering to tradition. While some of these traditions have their place, opportunities for innovation often get overlooked. DMS gives you the freedom to try something new, like lowering fuel use or optimizing space, without taking unnecessary risks.
