Efficient, buildable and future-ready newbuilds and conversions—from mission analysis and hull optimisation to production engineering.
Integrated naval architecture and marine engineering, supported by construction and conversion supervision at shipyards worldwide. One coordinated approach from the first operational requirement to vessel delivery.

Hudson Marine Solutions LLC develops vessel designs around the owner's mission, operating environment, endurance, payload and commercial priorities.
Our scope covers special-purpose tugs, patrol vessels, OPVs, container vessels, service vessels and green ship concepts. For conversions, we assess the existing asset before defining a technically feasible and executable modification strategy.
Each vessel begins with the operating profile—speed, endurance, payload, bollard pull, survivability, port limits, emissions, maintainability and crew needs.
We translate these priorities into a coordinated design basis, balancing vessel performance with buildability, safety and lifecycle value. Requirements and specialist studies are tailored to each vessel's intended role.
Mission-led tug design for harbour assistance, towing and support duties, balancing bollard pull, manoeuvrability, stability and safe deck operations.
Patrol-platform engineering shaped by speed, endurance, seakeeping and crew requirements, with coordinated arrangements for owner-defined operational equipment.
Offshore patrol vessel concepts balancing sustained operations, endurance, reliability and maintainability with the owner's mission and assurance requirements.
Commercial vessel design matched to route economics, cargo capacity, port restrictions and efficient loading and operating arrangements.
Integrated energy-efficient vessel concepts combining hull performance, propulsion and onboard power with practical fuel-transition pathways.
Research-platform engineering around scientific payloads, endurance and safe survey operations, integrating owner-selected equipment with vessel systems.
From vessel operation and digital design to technical support in the shipyard.
VESSEL OPERATIONS
VESSEL DESIGN & ENGINEERING
CONSTRUCTION SUPPORTA coordinated design package reduces interface gaps between the owner, shipyard, equipment suppliers and approval authorities.
Establish a clear technical basis and compare viable vessel configurations before detailed investment.
Develop a hull and propulsion solution suited to the required operating profile.
Translate the concept into coordinated technical arrangements and approval deliverables.
Support fabrication and installation with practical, yard-aligned engineering information.
Develop conversion packages based on as-built records, condition and the intended new role.
Prepare submissions and manage technical review interfaces throughout design development.
Construction and conversion supervision can be arranged at shipyards anywhere in the world—from resident site representation to milestone inspections and targeted technical visits.
We support owners with design-to-yard coordination, quality surveillance, progress reporting and technical issue resolution. Deployment is planned around the project location, yard access, local requirements and the agreed inspection scope.
Discuss global site supportDefined stages and review gates help maintain design consistency, control changes and align engineering with the yard programme.
Agree the mission and design basis; develop the concept and evaluate performance, arrangement and lifecycle trade-offs.
Coordinate basic and detailed engineering, supplier inputs and class or statutory submissions.
Support production, inspect agreed milestones and manage technical queries and design changes.
Support commissioning and trials, resolve technical findings and compile the agreed handover records.
Deliverables are tailored to vessel type, contract requirements and construction or conversion complexity, with agreed responsibilities and document-control procedures.
Design basis, arrangements, calculations, system schematics and submission registers.
Fabrication and installation drawings, specifications, BOQs and interface details.
Inspection reports, progress updates, technical queries and non-conformity registers.
Trial procedures and reports, punch lists, updated drawings and handover-document review.
Provide the vessel type, operating requirements, principal constraints, intended shipyard and delivery schedule. For a conversion, include available drawings and machinery particulars. For worldwide supervision, share the yard location, build programme and required site coverage.
