Pioneering Excellence in Marine Engineering: Delivering Superior Performance and Safety
Innovative Design, Enhanced Performance
Recent advances in the maritime industry have led to the emergence of new designs with improved seakeeping qualities and significantly increased velocity. Existing ship types, such as bulk carriers, general cargo carriers, tankers, gas carriers, and container ships, have also been modified. While frigate designs have significantly changed, the propulsion systems that are now in use have also changed dramatically. The design and development process must be cost-effective, require minimal manpower, be available when needed, and be overly vulnerable. The safety of the ship, its crew, and the environment in which it sails are all critical. With more than 2 decades of experience from completing many projects and programs, the DEP team can assist in marine product development from concept to production at a faster pace. Ourexpert's team can help from design phase of development to engineering support and plan review, as well as technical services, and deliver quality results for manufacturers in newbuild projects.

DEP’s thorough understanding of these vessels enables the development of reliable, high-performance designs.
Modelling of Critical Areas
DEP focuses on accurately modelling critical areas such as connections, openings, and bracket toes, along with structural knuckle points. This includes analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary bending on global finite element (FE) models and assessing stress and deformation for yielding and buckling. Vibroacoustic analysis is also integrated to account for global bending and torsional modes, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of a structure’s behaviour under various conditions.
Vibroacoustic Analysis
DEP's vibroacoustic analysis involves detailed evaluation of global bending and torsional modes, bulkhead stress, and deformation for buckling prevention. The analysis extends to composite ply optimization, acoustic cavity model building, and structure-acoustic coupling. Forced frequency and acoustic response assessments are crucial for minimizing noise and vibration, ensuring quieter, more comfortable operations.
Weight Optimization
DEP’s weight optimization strategies explore alternate configurations and materials, with a focus on lightweight composites. By reducing weight without sacrificing strength or performance, DEP helps improve fuel efficiency and operational costs. The use of advanced materials and design adjustments allows for better structural integrity and reduced environmental impact.
