A working deck and equipment arrangement developed around the intended operation.

 

Operation-driven deck layout

Operation-driven deck layout

Equipment positioning, working areas and deck logistics are planned together to maximise usable working space and support efficient workflows.

 

Energy-
efficient operations

Energy-efficient operations
Hull, propulsion and energy systems can be optimised around the vessel´s intended operating profile

Efficiency where the vessel spends its time

Efficiency where the vessel spends its time
Hull, propulsion, and power systems are optimised for the operating modes in which the vessel is expected to spend most of its working time, rather than around a single design condition.
 
Lifetime Performance

Performance does not end at delivery

Operational needs, technology and requirements change throughout a vessel’s lifetime.

HAV Design applies its design and engineering expertise to help customers evaluate, adapt and improve their vessels as those needs change.

Making performance measurable before decisions are made

Ocean Lab uses simulation, analysis and data to explore how design choices affect vessel performance.

It provides a stronger basis for comparing alternatives, reducing uncertainty and making informed design decisions.

Designs

Different markets.
One common objective.
Better performance.

Every market has unique challenges. Our role is to understand 
them and create solutions that maximise operational and
commercial performance.

Supporting fish welfare, operational efficiency, and long-term value.

 

Supporting the transition with flexible and future-ready vessel solutions. 

 

Designing vessels that remain competitive throughout changing market conditions.

Designing tailored vessel solutions for unique operational requirements.

 

We help customers optimise, adapt and future-proof their vessels throughout their operational lifetime.

Stable and efficient working platform for demanding subsea and IMR operations

Designed for operational flexibility, effective use of deck space and integration of mission equipment across a range of subsea assignments. The vessel can be configured around the equipment, systems and working areas required for the intended operation.
