New building of 2500TEU / 22.7 knots container ships: LNA was contracted to work on the design of five 210-metre container ships currently under construction in Singapore . The project involved design optimisation, determination of principal particulars, basic design, lightweight estimation, payload and propulsion calculations, hull lines and creation of 3-D NAPA hull model, model testing at HSVA.

DFDS SEAWAYS

Upgrade of eight North European Ro-Ro passenger ferries to meet new dry-shod evacuation standards. These ferries each carry between 800 and 2000 passengers plus associated vehicles and freight trailers.
