Design and planning
A good ship starts with a smart and well thought-out design. At Next Generation Shipyards, we combine technical expertise with our clients’ specific requirements to develop vessels that are efficient, sustainable and operationally safe. Our design and engineering team works closely with clients to optimise every detail, from hull shape and weight distribution to energy efficiency and operational functionality.
During the planning phase, we ensure a streamlined approach where all processes align seamlessly. By managing the entire workflow in-house, we minimise waste and optimise production time. This means our vessels not only meet the highest technical requirements, but are also delivered within the agreed timeframe.
Keel laying and section construction
Keel laying is one of the most important milestones in shipbuilding. It lays the foundation for a robust and durable construction. Our engineers and craftsmen ensure this process is carried out with the utmost precision and care. Thanks to our experience and innovative production techniques, we create a strong and stable backbone for each ship, ensuring it is highly resilient to the challenges of the maritime sector.
Because we have all disciplines in-house, we can respond instantly and make improvements without relying on external parties. This not only increases efficiency, but also ensures that every ship is built from the ground up with quality and reliability as core principles.
Outfitting
During the outfitting phase, the ship comes to life. This is the crucial stage where all components are brought together, a moment where technology and craftsmanship reinforce one another. We use advanced production methods and high-quality materials to ensure that every part integrates seamlessly into the whole. Thanks to our integrated approach, we can quickly respond to any adjustments or optimisations without compromising on schedule or quality.
With smart production techniques and a high level of automation, we ensure that the vessels leaving our yard are not only technically advanced but also economically efficient in operation. This results in reduced maintenance, longer service life and maximum reliability at sea.
Technical systems
Every vessel we build is fitted with the latest and most reliable technical systems. From propulsion and power management to navigation and safety systems, all components are seamlessly integrated to ensure maximum performance and ease of operation. Our specialists ensure that each ship meets the highest standards and is ready to operate reliably, even in the most demanding conditions.
With all expertise in-house, we tailor each systems precisely to the customer’s specific requirements. This not only delivers greater efficiency and reduced operational costs, but also offers maximum control over long-term vessel performance.
Commissioning and handover
Before a vessel is handed over to the customer, it undergoes a comprehensive commissioning and testing phase. All systems are thoroughly tested to ensure they perform optimally and meet the highest standards for safety and performance. This phase includes both static inspections and real-world trials on the water, where we carefully evaluate the vessel’s handling and operational efficiency.
Our structured approach guarantees the client receives a vessel that fully meets the agreed specifications and is ready for immediate deployment. We closely supervise the handover and provide support where necessary, ensuring that operators become quickly familiar with the vessel and can utilise its systems to their full potential. The result: a vessel that is immediately deployable and will perform reliably for many years.
