From vocation to passion
We shape vessels for the future of offshore and heavy lift logistics.
At Hooked Engineering, we turn ideas into vessels. Based in Hamburg, Germany, we are a well-established naval architecture and ship design company with proven expertise in heavy lift cargo ships, offshore service vessels – and the ability to design any vessel our clients envision. Our approach is personal, precise, and passionate – driven by a team that thrives on challenges and celebrates engineering excellence.
We design vessels that are tailor-made and purpose-optimized – no off-the-shelf solutions, but unique designs built around your operational needs. That’s why open dialogue with our clients is essential: it’s the foundation for every project and ensures that our designs meet your specific requirements, wishes, and future ambitions.
We think in systems, act holistically, and design with purpose.

Ship Design

Engineering Services
Let's talk ships. And ideas.
At Hooked Engineering, dialogue isn’t a formality – it’s the foundation. Every successful design begins with mutual understanding, curiosity, and trust. Our managing directors Hendrik Gröne and Jakob Christiansen share their take on what drives great shipbuilding partnerships – and why the most important step is often the first talk.
“Every great ship starts with a great conversation. That’s why we begin each project with open dialogue and curiosity – not just about the vessel, but about the people behind it.”
Hendrik Gröne, Managing Director
“We believe engineering is a relationship business. Networks, trust, handshake quality – that’s where great solutions are born. Let’s explore together how we can support your next bold move at sea.”
Jakob Christiansen, Managing Director
