The Marine Engineering and Consultancy Dep. of MASK Energy Solutions has carried out a large amount of ships and yachts designs as well as a large number of stability calculations of all kinds approved by IACS and NON-IACS Classification Societies such as: Lloyd’s Register, ABS, GL, BV, RINA, DNV, as well as Polish Register, Hellenic
Register, and INSB.
With a full range of ship design and construction services, MASK Naval gives customers the option of leveraging our total expertise throughout the entire lifecycle of design and construction. Whether you choose to bring us in early in the concept and vessel design phases or need to consult with us about one specific phase, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide quality advice that maximizes value.
Our exceptional team of naval architects, marine engineers and construction management specialists are involved in a wide-variety of projects, each of which helps to provide MASK Naval with a depth of knowledge and experience unsurpassed in the marine industry.
Production engineering takes functional design to the next level by incorporating design information into a full-size 3D model. Our team combines all the details of the structural, electrical, mechanical and HVAC systems of the vessel into one comprehensive model of your project. The result is a virtual vessel that can be inspected early in the design process for safety, maintainability and constructability.
MASK Naval has decades of experience working with existing vessels and developing modifications and upgrades. Our team of experts can modify vessel capacity and improve the function of the vessel for better operation. In addition, we can help our customers meet regulatory and class requirements.
MASK Naval has extensive, hands-on experience managing a multitude of project types and sizes. We offer knowledgeable Project Managers (PMs), supported by a strong Project Management Office (PMO) and guided by proven project management processes.
Our PMs have many years of project management experience. Coupled with formal training in the latest project management tools and techniques, MASK Naval PMs bring a wealth of knowledge to any project.
wealth of knowledge to any project.
Each project provides lessons learned. The PMO incorporates these lessons learned into our existing processes, ensuring continual improvement – a true benefit to our customers.
Based on Project Management Institute (PMI) standards, the MASK Naval project management system includes the following stages:
Understanding project requirements
Exposing risks and developing risk responses
Managing stakeholder requirements and ensuring quality
Continually monitoring and reassessing project plans, keeping to budget and schedule
Delivering on-time and on budget
Stability Analysis
Vessel Motion Response
Cargo Securing Forces
Vessel Modifications And Strengthening
Loudout Ballasting Stages And Stability
Our Marine Engineers are experienced consultants always achieve the most successful design, building, installation, inspection, testing and maintenance of the propulsion systems Including pumps, piping and other main and auxiliary machinery for any offshore unit/vessel.
MASK NavalNaval Architects is a full service Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering firm servicing the whole spectrum of the commercial marine industry, from design of Fishing Vessels, Ferries, River Barges, to involvement on stability and structural modification of Mining Ships and Oil Rigs.
Services include total vessel design, modifications and retrofits, stability documentation for Flag
State or Classification Society approval, structural design and FE analysis, of helicopter decks, mining plant structures, crane foundations, and all other aspects of Naval Architecture.
Our archive of drawings contains almost 3 decades of designs, general arrangment drawings,
safety plans etc, for a large proportion of the South African commercial vessels, and many foreign vessels, on which we have worked, at some point in time. These archives contain over 21 000 CAD format drawings alone, excluding the older paper copies hanging in our library. The backed up electronic archive contains over 1 million project files, when including all those relating to documents, reports, spreadsheets and the many files specific to the various software suits that have been used on many past projects.
Amongst the ongoing involvement in the cooperative design, and draughting of all the GRP Tallie Marine Fishing Vessels, other new builds included the complete design of a 27m Steel Pilot Boat, for Portnet (NPA), aAluminiumCatamran Fishing Vessel, a 22m GRP Landing Craft, with bow door, for Pemba, Mozambique, plus a smaller Steel Landing Craft for Namdeb.
More recent new builds or major conversions included the new, and 1 of a kind, Moma Barge (Titanium Sand Transporter), built in Singapore between 2005 and 2007, and the new Smit Lipuma (Fuel Bunker barge) built by Dormac in Durban in 2007. The Smit Energy (Bunker Barge) was also double skinned in 2008.
Examples of these and past designs are included under the applicable menu headings on the left.
Outside of new build designs are an extensive number of retrofit / refit projects too many to mention. These can span from Fishing Vessels, to Mining Ships and Oil Rigs.
Having completed just over 3300 projects (of various types, forms and sizes) in the last 24 years alone, with another 500 before that, under the DSA name, hence Triton would be best described as being extremely active.
These projects include “new vessel” designs, repair solutions, major refits, salvage calculations, preparation of drawings, to stability calculations, propeller and propulsion solutions, and structural analysis, covering all commercial vessels from passenger yachts to oil rigs, from fishing vessels to diamond mining ships, from patrol craft and military vessels to barges and dredges.
Generation of general arrangement drawings, linesplans and safety plans are an everyday activity on our cad stations, as they are prerequisites for local registration.
With the experience of seasoned structural draughtsmen, and supported by finite element analysis, we pride ourselves in offering almost any design solution for marine applications, for approval by all of the primary classification societies around the world. Amongst such structures would include helicopter decks for mining vessels, mining plants and underdeck stiffening on mining ships, sponsoning of both mining and fishing vessels, shelterdecks for fishing vessels, winch foundations, Aframes, Gantries and Cranes, the lengthening of ships, and even the structure of the Nelson Mandela Gateway floating jetty (ex Berties Landing).
With the support of using GHS stability software (for the past 26 years), amongst other ship stability software, we also pride ourselves in being able to simulate almost any salvage situation, including inverted vessels floating on trapped air, grounding reaction calculations, longitudinal strength calculations, whilst damaged and grounded, multiple fluid types within tanks, including trapped air etc. A ship, intact or damaged, being exposed to following or oblique waves etc.
See the SALVAGE Section for more detail in the simulation of Salvage Scenarios.
