Vessel Design & Conversion

We see the bigger picture, beyond the  vessel. 

From concept to basic vessel design

Vuyk supplies customer-specific vessel designs and conversions. Our people are the backbone of Vuyk: highly experienced engineers, with a naval architecture background. Driven by knowledge and experience, we design and modify the most complex tailor-made vessels of its kind. We make use of various of the newest software packages.

In-house expertise

Complex designs and tailor-made projects require extensive in-house expertise, including the likes of structural analysis and design, stability calculations, hydrodynamic studies, mechanical design, and the arrangements of vessels. We use a unique vessel design process to supply customer-specific designs, supporting and guiding the customer through all steps of the process.

On-site support

After finalising the design package, we provide direct on-site support for the transformation of the design package into a physical product, as well as standby engineering knowledge.
