Where Smarter Design Builds Better Ships.
At Genoa, great shipbuilding starts with smart design decisions that drive real-world results — on the floor, in the yard, and at sea. Design isn’t just a phase — it’s where better shipbuilding begins. Our Design and Consulting (D&C) team does more than produce drawings; we build it first. Using a highly detailed and accurate 3D model as the single source of truth, we help shipbuilders reduce rework, improve clarity, and keep production on track. By bringing together expertise, shipyard insight, and digital precision, we help shipbuilders move from concept to construction with confidence.What is Design and Consulting at Genoa?
Design and Consulting is Genoa’s core business — delivering detailed and production design solutions that help shipyards build better ships, faster. We work directly with shipyards and design partners to create accurate, production-ready 3D models that reflect real-world build conditions. From structural modelling to systems and outfitting design, our work turns complex concepts into clear, coordinated production packages. Every design we deliver is rooted in shipyard reality to ensure alignment across disciplines, reduce rework, and keep projects efficient, buildable, and on schedule.What Sets Genoa Apart
- Expert Teams: Our designers know ships inside and out. They anticipate challenges, solve problems, and ensure every decision is grounded in real-world shipyard experience.
- Built for Production: From routing and clearances to access and fabrication space, our 3D models reflect the realities of construction — so what’s in the model can be built on the floor.
- Tools That Enhance Quality: Decades of experience have shaped our proprietary workflows and automated tools, making us more efficient while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
- Client-Centred Culture: We don’t just hand off drawings. We partner with shipyards, supporting their teams, aligning workflows, and keeping projects on track from concept to completion.
- Production-Ready Outputs: Spool drawings, production drawings, and BOMs are generated directly from the model — precise, coordinated, and aligned with the yard’s standards.
Beyond Deliverables
We are design partners, not just providers. Our specialists across structure, piping, HVAC, electrical, and outfitting collaborate through every review and every change, ensuring your teams stay coordinated and your timeline stays on track. Beyond drawings and deliverables, as an extension of your shipyard team, we deliver holistic, build-ready solutions that move your project forward.Why it Matters
Design misalignment leads to costly rework, lost time, and miscommunication. Genoa’s D&C approach keeps production connected to design, ensuring clarity from concept to completion. Our technical specialists bridge the gap between design and production, ensuring that every detail is modelled for real-world buildability. With our model-first mindset, shipbuilders can:- Reduce rework
- Coordinate better across teams and trades
- Stay on time and on budget
