Shipyard Engineering Services

Support That Scales With Your Yard

Add Proven Engineering Power to Your Shipyard

Every shipyard has its gaps. Our job is to fill yours with engineering services that fit into your workflow, whether you’re building a 40′ aluminum hull or a 300′ commercial vessel. We’ve helped smaller yards take on projects they never thought possible and supported large-scale operations with advanced simulations, class society compliance, and high-performance design.

  • Tap Into Cutting-Edge Software

    Need precision analysis or smarter modeling? We use tools like GHS, FEMAP, StarCCM+, Rhino 3D, and Neoship to provide insight early and often. From hull strength and weight studies to finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics, our software suite supports everything from routine checks to ambitious R&D.

  • Simplify USCG Compliance

    We know Coast Guard regulations inside and out because we’ve worked on both sides of them. If your project involves small passenger vessels, Subchapter T, or other tightly regulated specs, we’ll help you prep documentation, validate calculations, and guide the design through the approval process smoothly.

Level Up Your Shipyard With DMS

When you need yacht design engineering support or help expanding your build capabilities, DMS is here to help you grow.

Expand Your Reach With DMS as Your Engineering Arm

Think of us as your behind-the-scenes advantage. Our shipyard engineering services are designed to integrate directly with your build process, helping you take on bigger, better, and more complex projects without expanding your staff or buying expensive software.

We’ve helped shipyards tackle one-of-a-kind builds, deliver luxury vessels with custom specs, and completed projects requiring rigorous class society compliance from bodies like ABS, DNV, and Lloyd’s Register.

Whatever your needs, DMS has the tools—and the track record—to get the job done.

Gradient Quote

“I am an old timer. I should be a retired yacht designer / naval architect / professional engineer. With a backlog of projects and no time to get caught up on using my GHS software, I needed some help. I heard from a friend that Nicholas Barczak, P.E. of DMS, had some instructional videos on YouTube. While excellent, they still didn’t solve my backlog, so I hired Nick to run my 40′ pontoon small passenger stability calculations. Nick knocked it out in a little over a week, and 12 days later, we had a USCG MSC Stability Letter!”

– Commercial Client

We work with both small and large shipyards: offering design and regulatory support to smaller yards, and specialized analysis and compliance services to larger operations.

Absolutely. We’ve helped dozens of clients navigate USCG regulations and get their projects certified. Whether you’re dealing with Subchapter T or a specific certificate of inspection, we can help.

Not at all. We regularly assist with vessel retrofits, repowers, and one-off projects like barge conversions and hull modifications.
