A new 24m Concept Vessel

We’ve been busy designing

Design Intent

The vessel presented here is a 24-Meter MFV concept vessel, designed using state of the art 3D-modeling software and techniques, which affords us and our clients the opportunity to easily visualise the completed vessel long before production begins.

By employing parametric modelling techniques Prolines have the ability and expertise to precision engineer every single detail of the vessel structure. We analyse its strength, test stability along with speed & power ratios, and can easily amend the design to suit our clients needs, while constantly tracking build materials ensuring that our clients can easily budget for specification/design changes.

By parametrically modelling the vessel, Prolines can also provide CNC & nesting files in several formats to the shipyards, helping to reduce build times and cost, this has the added advantage of reducing the risks for both our clients and the shipyards alike.

What do Naval Architects do?

A naval architects first role is boat design, but often we do assessment of existing designs ahead of modification work , or  prove a vessel meets safety legislation. Then there are the unusual jobs…

Below is a photo of a Viking Long Boat that we did a safety assessment on so that it could bring Santa to Waterford City one Christmas. There is never a dull moment in this profession.
