I will perform structural analysis and scantling calculations for vessel compliance


About this gig
Need professional Structural Analysis and Scantling Calculations for vessel compliance? With 10 years of maritime engineering expertise, I provide the precise technical data required to ensure your ship meets all safety and Class Society standards.
In the 2026 maritime environment, structural integrity is critical for passing inspections. I specialize in localized Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and scantling verification for hull plates, longitudinal members, and deck reinforcements. Whether for a new modification or a repair plan, I ensure your vessel is IACS-compliant.
My Engineering Services:
- Comprehensive Scantling Calculations (DNV, ABS, LR, BV).
- Localized FEA Analysis for high-stress areas.
- Structural Integrity Reports for hull and bulkheads.
- Longitudinal Strength and Buckling assessments.
- Deck Load Analysis for new machinery or crane foundations.
- Material Specification and Welding Schedule verification.
Why Choose Me?
- 10 years of Marine Structural Engineering.
- Expert in IACS rules and IMO regulations.
- High-precision reports ready for Class Surveyor review.
- Fast turnaround for urgent dry-docking needs.
Ensure your vessel is seaworthy and compliant. Contact me today!

FAQ
Which Class Society rules do you follow?
I perform calculations according to IACS member rules, including ABS, DNV, LR, BV, and RINA. Just specify your vessel's Class Society, and I will ensure the structural analysis meets their specific 2026 requirements for plan approval.
What software do you use for FEA and Scantlings?
For localized Finite Element Analysis (FEA), I utilize industry standard tools like ANSYS or NASTRAN. For scantling verification, I use specialized maritime software and manual calculations to ensure 100% compliance with hull girth and plate thickness rules.
Can you help if my vessel failed a thickness measurement (UTM)?
Yes. If a UTM report shows excessive corrosion, I provide a Reinforcement Plan. I calculate the required plate inserts or stiffener additions to restore the structural section modulus to Class required levels, helping you avoid detention.
Do you provide a signed technical report?
Every order includes a detailed Structural Analysis Report (PDF). This includes stress contour maps, calculation formulas, and a summary of findings. These reports are formatted professionally to be submitted directly to Class Surveyors for review.
What data is required to start the analysis?
I need the Original Midship Section, Material Specs, and the Loading Conditions. For equipment foundations (like cranes), please provide the Manufacturer’s Technical Data Sheet showing the maximum static and dynamic loads.
