Design and engineering

Royal Niestern Sander has an in-house design and engineering department, which is responsible for the design and project management of a large variety of new ships and large conversions.

The long history of new construction projects and the wide experience of Niestern Sander with ship repairs form the strong foundation for the advanced technology center. In close cooperation with the shipowner and co-owners, our shipbuilders create the most efficient process and end product.

By using 3D engineering tools, the specific wishes of the customer are translated into a (concept) design and ultimately to the complete engineering of the ship being built.

Niestern Sander is part of the maritime infrastructure in the north of the Netherlands. We always try to be creative and innovative in this manufacturing industry. We achieve this together with our subcontractors and suppliers, but also with our clients. The design and engineering department coordinates the input for the engineering by all parties involved in this maritime cluster. They also provide outsourcing of specific design activities, such as ‘hull form optimization’, model testing and sound and vibration consultancy.
