Ship Design & Construction
A structured program for professionals who want a clear, management-level understanding of how ships are conceived, designed and built — and how these decisions affect safety, performance and cost across the vessel’s life.
Program Snapshot
Built to connect naval architecture concepts with day-to-day operational, commercial and safety realities in maritime logistics.
The program demystifies ship design and construction without drowning participants in formulas, focusing instead on decisions and trade-offs.
- Understand the main steps from concept design to delivery of a vessel.
- Recognise key design drivers: capacity, speed, fuel, stability and safety.
- Read basic general arrangement (GA) plans and principal particulars.
- Connect design decisions with operating cost, cargo flexibility and emissions.
- Ask better questions when assessing ships for charter or investment.
Structured for professionals who work with ships but are not necessarily naval architects.
- Port and terminal managers interacting with different vessel types.
- Shipbrokers, chartering and commercial teams.
- Fleet managers, superintendents and technical coordinators.
- Logistics and supply chain managers using sea freight heavily.
- Early-career engineers exploring maritime as a domain.
