Can you help make shipping safer, smarter and more sustainable?

The Hydrodynamics and Stability section in Maritime Advisory delivers a wide range of consultancy services. We pride ourselves on being world-leading for assessment of hydrodynamic loads and their response for a variety of marine structures. Our tight team helps to ensure the safety of ships and floating offshore structures through stability services, from concept studies through operations, conversions and life extensions. We provide advice related to ship hydrodynamic performance, supporting the required shift in our industry to gradually reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our services are delivered globally, and we experience a great level of trust from our clients.

We are currently seeking new colleagues who will support service deliveries within one or more of the following areas:

Ship hydrodynamic performance: Evaluation of the effect of various hydrodynamic measures to reduce vessel emissions, using a combination of simplified methods, computational fluid dynamics and measurements

Data science: Working with various sources of data, utilizing appropriate analysis methodology to support decision making and generate insights

Stability: Deterministic and probabilistic intact and damage stability of ships and other floating structures, using NAPA as our main tool

Wave-structure interaction problems: Use a combination of potential flow methods and computational fluid dynamics to assess local and global loads and their effect on different types of marine structures
