Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. We designed MOSIS with modularity and ease of integration in mind. It connects with your onboard motion sensors, tank gauging systems, and GPS/marine instrumentation via standard industrial protocols.

Rather than replacing your existing setup, MOSIS sits alongside or integrates into your vessel management dashboard, processing live motion and environmental data to give operators real-time, predictive insight into dynamic stability. We handle the system mapping and calibration to ensure zero disruption to ongoing operations.

Deadweight audits traditionally involve tedious manual tallying, complex spreadsheet models, and plenty of room for error when accounting for variable loads like ballast, fuel, and deck equipment.

DeadW8 digitizes the entire workflow. It uses verified lightship data and automated ballast/consumable tracking to calculate true displacement and payload capacity instantly. This removes manual math errors, speeds up pre-sailing checks, and gives master and shore management instant confidence that the vessel is loading safely to its absolute maximum potential.

We support projects through the complete engineering lifecycle. Whether you’re converting an OSV for a renewables role, adding heavy deck equipment, or modifying a floating production unit, our team handles:

1. Initial feasibility & concept design: Quick-turnaround 3D modeling and stability checks.

2. Detailed engineering: Structural FEA analysis, vessel motion modeling, and deck loading calculations.

3. Class submittals & execution support: Preparing full stability booklets and providing on-site naval architecture supervision during yard work.

Because our founders combined hands-on seafaring experience with top-tier academic engineering, our solutions are mathematically rigorous but practical for shipyard crews to execute.

Yes, floating offshore wind is a major focus for us. Floating wind turbines present complex aerodynamic and hydrodynamic interaction challenges that traditional fixed structures don't face.

We run advanced hydrodynamic simulations to model how floating platforms, moorings, and dynamic cables respond to combined wave, current, and wind loads. This helps developers optimize platform stability, reduce structural fatigue, and plan safe installation and tow-out procedures.

Safety and efficiency are two sides of the same coin. By using digital monitoring tools like DRFT-MRKS and MOSIS, ship operators capture hyper-accurate displacement and trim data in real time.

Optimizing trim and displacement directly reduces hull resistance and fuel burn. When paired with our naval architecture team’s hull modification advice (such as energy-saving devices or repowering evaluations), we help you systematically lower your operational emissions and protect your CII ratings.

Yes, managing class submittals is a routine part of our engineering work. Our team regularly liaises with all major classification societies (including DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, and Bureau Veritas).

We prepare all documentation, stability booklets, structural drawings, and calculation packages directly to class standards, staying in active communication with the survey body to resolve queries quickly and keep your vessel’s schedule on track.

With bases in Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Lafayette (Louisiana), our naval architects and survey specialists can deploy quickly across the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and internationally.

For urgent operational issues—like grounding incidents, sudden load modifications, or emergency stability verifications—our engineers are equipped to be on-site within hours, while our onshore technical team provides instant remote calculation support.
