The firm’s extensive project portfolio spans a number of vessel types including barges, tugs, offshore vessels, ferries, passenger vessels, and workboats, and encompasses unique projects from lofting art installations and high-end yacht hulls to one-off service vessel designs and structures.

At any given time, one of its vessels is under construction or entering service; a testimony to the exemplary skill of its designers, among the best in the business.
