Ports and Infrastructure
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, you need bespoke engineering. Fast.
Your port runs on commercial equipment. Until it doesn't.
We understand how ports work. Vessel schedules change daily. Your team often doesn't know tomorrow's shift pattern until the boats are confirmed. Most of your equipment is commercially available and does exactly what it needs to do. But every port hits moments where off-the-shelf falls short. A non-standard load that won't fit a standard spreader. A dust extraction problem that no catalogue system can solve for your specific layout. An interface beam for a reach stacker that doesn't exist yet. That's where we come in. We design bespoke engineering solutions for the problems that don't have a commercially available answer. Scoped in hours, priced upfront, and delivered to fabrication standard on your timeline, not ours.
Engineering that moves at port speed.
Port operations don't stop while engineering catches up. Your downtime windows are tight, your schedules are reactive, and when you need something bespoke, you can't afford to wait months for a consultancy to get going. We scope and price within hours of your first call. Our engineers work remotely by default, so there's no lead time for site mobilisation and no open-ended day rates while someone gets up to speed. You get a fixed-price proposal with clear deliverables before any work begins, and fabrication-ready documentation delivered in days or weeks, not months.

What we deliver
If your solution is available off the shelf, buy it off the shelf. We're not here to sell you services you don't need. We're here for when it isn't available, when the engineering needs to be bespoke, verified, and documented to standard, and you need it done quickly at a known cost.
Non-standard cargo handling
Your load doesn't fit a standard spreader beam, grab, or hopper. We design the bespoke interface equipment to move it safely and repeatably. Frames, adapters, handling rigs, whatever the job needs, with full verification and documentation ready for fabrication.
Electrical, control & hydraulics
Power distribution, control architectures, HPU specifications, and commissioning support for bespoke port equipment. Designed to integrate with your existing systems, not replace them.
Naval architecture
End-to-end engagement with Lloyd's Register, DNV, ABS, and Bureau Veritas to secure approvals for vessel modifications and equipment installations. We handle the back-and-forth so your team doesn't have to.
Operations engineering
Procedures, O&M manuals, site support for installation/commissioning/troubleshooting, and owner/class review packs.
Class liaison and approvals
End‑to‑end engagement with Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, Bureau Veritas to secure approvals for vessel modifications and keep operations compliant.
Bespoke port equipment
Boat handling equipment, reach stacker interface beams, transport rigs, over-side handling arrangements. When no catalogue product fits your quayside layout or operational constraint, we design it from scratch to your specific requirements.
Ageing infrastructure, new demands
Your quayside, crane foundations, or storage infrastructure was designed for different tonnages or cargo types. We verify whether existing structures can handle the new loads, and if they can't, we design the strengthening. All backed by FEA and full documentation.
Vessel and deck integration
Pad-eyes, foundations, sea-fastening, and deck layouts for workboats and port vessels. Lifting verification, stability checks, and class-ready documentation so modifications don't hold up your operational programme.
Structural analysis & fatigue
FEA (beam/shell/3D), fatigue checks, and integrity assessments for infrastructure and equipment.

Built for how ports actually work.
We've spent time in working ports. We get that your operation is reactive, not project-based. Your team is juggling daily scheduling changes, weather windows, and competing vessel demands all at once. And when an engineering need surfaces, it's usually urgent, specific, and needed yesterday. Our model is designed around that reality. No standing overhead, no lengthy onboarding, no 47-page report that sits in a drawer. You tell us what you need, we scope and price it within hours, and our engineers deliver fabrication-ready documentation remotely. You're not paying for travel days or waiting for site inductions. When site presence is genuinely needed, we're there. But most bespoke engineering design work doesn't need someone standing on your quayside. It needs experienced engineers with the right software, the right standards knowledge, and the discipline to deliver on time at a fixed cost.
