Studies & Consulting

Deltamarin’s consultancy services provide invaluable decision-making tools and innovative solutions for the maritime and shipbuilding markets.

Over the years, we have conducted over 700 studies and consulting projects exploring maritime and shipbuilding markets, regulations, product applicability and machinery, among other topics.

Our active presence in the shipbuilding market, combined with more than 700 completed studies and consultancy projects, has resulted in a comprehensive reference and knowledge base benefiting ship owners, suppliers and yards.

Deltamarin’s reference list for studies and consultancy projects can be found here.

These studies have provided our customers with essential decision-making tools for complex situations and uncovered new viable solutions. Deltamarin always acts as an independent researcher not affiliated with any specific supplier and tailors the scope of each study specifically to the client’s needs. If you need research or consultancy on ship design, shipbuilding or the maritime market in general, please contact Deltamarin’s sales team to see how we can help you.

White papers and publications

In addition to studies and consulting, Deltamarin actively engages in continuous research and development activities. We develop in-house methods for sustainable ship design and regularly participate in joint industry development projects. Our long-term cooperation with universities, research institutes, and the industry has enabled us to explore various modelling and optimization methods over the years, allowing us to predict the benefits of new technologies during the ship conceptual design stage.

As a demonstration of such cooperation, you can read the article below detailing the results of our recent EU-funded project, CHEK. The project focuses on decarbonizing long-distance shipping through alternative fuels, technology synergy and digital design. This article demonstrates the bulk carrier conceptual design, with close to 50% energy saving gained, compared to a state of the art typical design. The methods discussed in the article are already actively applied in our projects:

Another article discusses the ship operational costs with an example of a RoPAX ship powered either by batteries or LNG fuel. We demonstrate how the ship operational costs can be largely caused by the carbon pricing and “penalties” within the FuelEU Maritime and ETS framework. On the other hand, ship electrification can also provide considerable economic benefits for operators. In addition to this, we present the history of the digital modelling and especially energy simulation development at Deltamarin with links to earlier publications:
