C-Job Lead Naval Architect Niels de Vries wins Maritime Designer Award
C-Job Lead Naval Architect Niels de Vries has won the Maritime Designer Award 2019 for his research on ‘Safe and effective application of ammonia as a marine fuel’. His research shows ammonia (NH3) can be safely and effectively applied as a marine fuel to reduce...A double-edged discipline: Interior Design and Engineering
Adding to its list of existing naval architectural and maritime engineering services, C-Job recently expanded its scope of expertise to include Interior Design and Engineering. This development is a response to a continuing trend seen throughout the maritime...Building Supervision: part of C-Job’s on-site support services
Building Supervision is C-Job Naval Architects’ direct, hands-on support of the ship construction or refit process. Encompassing Site Management and Superintendence projects, it is a discipline that connects the company’s extensive theoretical knowledge with practical experience of people like Project Manager Hans Stoit. “It’s my role as site manager to unburden the client by taking care of all the issues that need to be taken care of.”
The next step in C-Job’s ammonia research
For a number of years now, C-Job has believed that ammonia could be a viable option as a clean and sustainable marine fuel. The company’s investigations into the subject took an important step forward last month with the publishing of new research by Niels de Vries, one of C-Job’s Lead Architects.
Finite Element Analysis – getting a closer look
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique of solving complex structural engineering problems. For a naval architectural company like C-Job, FEA allows precise calculation of stresses, fatigue and vibrations without having to build a prototype. This precision enables more informed and more effective decision making in the early stages of ship design to create more efficient vessels.
