What do our Maritime Teams do?

We deliver bespoke solutions that deliver novel, unique and exceptional outcomes in all areas of ship & submarine design, hydrodynamic testing and technical consultancy. With access to a large and diverse team of specialists as well as over £100million of advanced test facilities and equipment, our defence and commercial maritime customers know that we will deliver operational, technical and competitive advantage.

Once a baseline performance has been established, our designers will use physical and computational model testing to help optimise the design to meet key performance requirements.

Combining experimental, computational and software tools (including Paramarine - our internationally acclaimed Naval Architecture Toolset), we ensure speed and accuracy of evaluation and even greater technical understanding of vessel performance.

You could be working on a variety of projects such as the Maritime Strategic Capability Agreement (MSCA), a renewed £259 million contract with the Submarine Delivery Agency. The MSCA delivers critical sovereign capabilities that contribute to the assurance of the UK’s ability to design, build and safely operate the Royal Navy’s surface and subsurface fleet, including the UK’s continuous at sea deterrent.
