Design

A successful ship design requires a broad experience and understanding of all the theoretical, practical and functional aspects of shipping and naval architecture combined with the specialist knowledge related to each particular type of vessel and service. LNA’s main focus is on passenger vessels and container ships.

Design incorporates interior arrangement and outfitting, exterior design and complete material specifications. LNA starts with preliminary calculations of main particulars and then draws up the general arrangement. The new hull form is developed using 3D modelling software to deliver capacity and performance requirements.
