Our Services
FISH offers a personal and professional service to the marine sector providing full vessel design, specialising in composite vessels. With an extensive repertoire of innovative craft encompassing large patrol boats, high speed interceptors, crew/workboats, yachts, foiling craft and SOLAS tenders we are constantly evolving and pursuing our passion to design the best vessels we can. We have designed vessels from the ground up for clients varying from individuals to UK and overseas government organisations. Our experience tells us each vessel we design requires a unique approach to ensure all the project’s requirements are met. We apply this thinking for every client to ensure they get the best results.
Naval Architecture
From hull form through full vessel design to inclining experiments and commissioning, FISH offer the whole package. Our experience and grounding in Naval Architecture is the basis to everything we do, and we love nothing more than to see our designs go from initial sketch to 50kts. Whether we are utilising our inhouse experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), model testing background, empirical calculations or back catalogue of designs, FISH are well versed in designing novel exciting vessels from first principles. Our experience derived from designing to a wide range of class societies, provides FISH with the knowledge to advise, evolve and provide commercially viable solutions. Whether it’s a one off or a series build, let us see how we can help make your project a success.
Whether glass, carbon, flax , PVC or PET structural engineering in composites is a diverse subject which is ever evolving. FISH’s extensive experience allows us to utilise these materials and develop vessels which are structurally efficient, whilst maintaining buildability and reducing build hours and hence cost. With extensive experience in the workshop, we always have production in mind. Whether it’s resin infusion, pre-preg or more traditional methods, every builder or product needs a tailored approach to ensure the optimum solution. Our diverse range of vessels is proof of our ability and the key to your projects success.
Structural Design
Build process optimisation, tooling schemes, 3D systems routing, all these things strive for the same common goals – stop rework, minimise wastage and crucially reduce workshop hours. Our primary job as designers is to communicate clearly with the workshop to allow the builder to carry out their jobs efficiently. The workshop is our real customer, something that is often forgotten. All FISH projects have a production engineering focus approach at day one, based on workshop experience within the team. We believe in a strong design led approach to production engineering and the ethos that it is almost always more efficient to solve an issue at the design phase. We consider production engineering to be one of the most important parts of the design process and a key contributor to project efficiency.
