At Chartwell Marine, our structural engineering services form the backbone of every vessel we design. With decades of combined experience across our team, we deliver structural solutions that ensure each vessel is built to withstand the toughest maritime conditions while meeting the highest standards of safety, performance, and durability. Whether you’re building a luxury yacht, a high-performance workboat, or an offshore wind support vessel, our structural engineers bring unparalleled expertise to every project.
Structural engineering is critical to a vessel’s integrity and performance. Our team applies advanced engineering techniques and tools, such as finite element analysis (FEA), to optimise the structural design of each vessel, ensuring it can handle the stresses of real-world operations. We evaluate every aspect of a vessel’s structure, from the hull and superstructure to the internal framework, delivering designs that are lightweight, strong, and resilient.

At Chartwell Marine, we understand that safety is paramount in maritime design. Our structural engineering services are rooted in compliance with international standards and class society regulations, ensuring that every vessel meets or exceeds safety requirements. From initial concept to final delivery, we ensure that your vessel’s structural design is fully certified and ready to perform safely in all operating conditions.
We don’t just design for strength—we design for efficiency. Our structural engineers work closely with our naval architects to develop solutions that not only meet structural integrity requirements but also optimise vessel performance. By minimizing weight and maximizing strength, we improve fuel efficiency, speed, and overall seakeeping abilities. Our data-driven approach ensures that your vessel’s structural design contributes to its overall efficiency, helping you reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
