Engineering that makes vessels work

From calculations to conversions – we bring deep technical insight into every stage of your ship’s lifecycle.

From theory to practice – and everything in between

At Hooked Engineering, we see technical insight not as a side task, but as the backbone of modern shipbuilding. We bring together shipyard experience and analytical precision to solve the real-world challenges our clients face.

Whether you're developing a newbuild, upgrading a vessel, or troubleshooting in service – our modular engineering services are designed to match your needs. From R&D to final approvals, we support individual tasks or complete scopes.

Ship
Theory
&
Analysis

From intact and damage stability to RAO determination, heeling tests, and CFD optimization – we deliver the technical groundwork to validate performance, safety, and compliance.

Structural Design & Strength Calculations

Global FE models, local structural assessments, and foundation design – tailored to your ship’s configuration and operating profile.

Conversions
&
Operational Upgrades

Support for vessel modifications, retrofits, and upgrades – including ballast water and exhaust treatment systems, DP integration (DP1/2/3), cargo type adjustments, and capacity enhancements.

Special Systems & Equipment Design

Custom lifting gear, transport frames, container configurations (e.g. 30' and 45'), and the Sietas Loading System (SLS) – for both existing programs and new applications. We also offer solutions for integrating endangered loading across different ship types.

Consulting, Supervision & Project Support

We provide technical expertise throughout the project lifecycle: from site visits, construction supervision, and technical project management to documentation updates, expert assessments, and inclining tests, plus plotting services up to A0.

Ship Documentation & Class Approval

From ballast water management plans and cargo securing manuals to fire control and safety plans – we prepare and update the full range of ship documentation. Our work ensures compliance, smooth approval processes, and reliable operation.

Your engineering questions, answered

Our engineering services are broad and adaptable. These are some of the most common questions we receive about our engineering services – from technical scope to project collaboration and compliance support.

What types of vessels do your engineering services support?

We work across vessel types – from heavy lift cargo to container ships, jack-ups, MPVs and more. Each project gets a tailored approach.

Can I book individual services or complete engineering packages?

Both. Our services are modular – you can book only what you need or integrate us across your entire project.

Do you support conversions and retrofits?

Absolutely. From propulsion upgrades to load capacity changes, we offer full engineering support for vessel modifications.

How closely do you work with client teams?

We collaborate closely with our clients throughout every stage of a project – from early concept development to final documentation. Our communication is transparent, responsive, and tailored to fit seamlessly into your workflows.

What’s included in your structural calculations?

We provide both global and local FE analysis, strength assessments, and foundation calculations for critical components.

Do you provide support for regulatory compliance?

We prepare documentation for class approval and support stability, mooring, and DP-capability evaluations as needed.
