​Ship Design

​
​Advanced Design for Safer, Smarter, and More Efficient Vessels
​
KOSCO SD provides comprehensive ship design and marine engineering services covering the entire development process, from initial concept and feasibility assessment to basic, detailed, and production design.

Our ship design capabilities support commercial vessels, special-purpose vessels, offshore support vessels, and advanced offshore assets. Each design is developed to achieve the required balance of operational performance, safety, efficiency, constructability, and environmental responsibility.


Our capabilities include:
  1. Concept design and feasibility studies
  2. Basic, detailed, and production design
  3. Naval architecture and hull-form optimisation
  4. Structural design and strength analysis
  5. Stability, seakeeping, and manoeuvrability analysis
  6. Computational fluid dynamics simulations
  7. Machinery, piping, electrical, and control system design
  8. Integration of electric, hybrid, and low-emission propulsion systems
  9. Marine battery system integration
  10. AI-based autonomous navigation and smart vessel architecture
  11. Compliance with IMO regulations, flag-state requirements, and classification society rules

  • KOSCO SD applies advanced design software, three-dimensional modelling, digital twins, and simulation-based engineering to evaluate vessel performance under actual operating conditions before construction begins.

  • The company also incorporates production, equipment procurement, inspection, maintenance, and future conversion requirements into the design process. This integrated approach improves constructability, reduces lifecycle costs, and supports more efficient vessel operation and maintenance.

  • KOSCO SD develops practical and technically precise designs that enable vessels to perform safely and reliably throughout their operational lifecycle while meeting the evolving demands of the global maritime industry.

Smart Shipyard Solutions
​
Shipyard Layout and Process Design
KOSCO SD provides optimised shipyard layout and process design services tailored to vessel types, production requirements, operational conditions, and future expansion plans.
​
Our services cover the planning and integration of production areas, material flows, workshops, assembly zones, lifting equipment, docks, logistics routes, and supporting facilities. This integrated approach helps shipyards improve productivity, operational safety, space utilisation, and production efficiency.


Equipment and Facility Procurement Support
KOSCO SD supports the selection and procurement of shipyard equipment and facilities, as well as installation supervision, testing, and commissioning.
​
By aligning equipment specifications with production processes and operating requirements, we help customers establish efficient and reliable shipyard infrastructure while reducing installation and operational risks.

Lower-Emission Marine Solutions  
LNG Fuel Supply Systems for Newbuilds and Retrofits
​
KOSCO SD provides LNG fuel supply solutions for newbuilds and existing-vessel retrofits, enabling LNG to be used for vessel propulsion and onboard power generation.
​
Our patented HiVAR Fuel Gas Supply System vaporises and conditions LNG before delivering natural gas to the vessel’s engines and power systems at the required pressure, temperature, and flow rate.

The system can be configured for different vessel types and engine arrangements, including vessels equipped with ME-GI engines. It can also be integrated into both newbuild designs and retrofit projects.

Through its LNG fuel supply technology, KOSCO SD supports customers seeking to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions from vessel operations.

Our integrated services cover:

  1. Vessel survey and feasibility assessment
  2. System selection and basic engineering
  3. Detailed and production design
  4. Equipment procurement
  5. Installation and integration
  6. Testing and commissioning
  7. Classification and regulatory compliance support
  8. Project management
By managing the entire process from initial assessment to final commissioning, KOSCO SD provides customers with a complete retrofit solution designed to minimise installation time, reduce operational disruption, and support compliance with international ballast water management requirements.
