Ship design

Ship DeSign

A Rolls-Royce designed vessel is more than just a hull design. It is a

hydrodynamic, efficient vessel with diesel engines or gas turbines
and all major systems fully integrated for the best performance,
enabling vessels to be built anywhere in the world.

Offshore vessels
Ship DeSign

Rolls-Royce offers a range of ship designs for the offshore sector from
its well known UT-Design family, launched in the mid 1970s. The range
includes: platform supply vessels, anchor handling/tug/supply vessels,
multipurpose service vessels and other specialised vessels.

platform supply vessels (pSV)

The UT range of platform supply vessels provides excellent motion
characteristics and optimised operational costs versus cargo capacity.

Fishing vessels
Ship DeSign

The Rolls-Royce NVC-Design range of fishing vessels is developed

to provide optimal fuel consumption, fish handling and working
conditions at sea. Safe working conditions are guaranteed on an
optimal freeboard, and modern fish handling solutions are included
in the designs.

Stern trawlers

pelagic trawlers

Our designs for stern trawlers range from small and compact wet fish
trawlers to large and powerful factory freeze trawlers. The vessels can be
arranged with hydraulic or electric deck machinery.

Our range of pelagic vessels consists of all sizes of RSW-cooled

bulk carrying vessels in addition to large factory processing
freezer trawlers.

patrol vessels
The MPV55 is the smallest in a new family of patrol vessel designs
prepared by Rolls-Royce for Coastguard and Navy use in patrolling EEZs.
Designed to be fully compliant with MARPOL and IMO/SOLAS
requirements, the vessel has extensive range and excellent operability in
higher sea states.
Aviation capable 75m and 90m vessel designs are in preparation.

Ship DeSign

To meet the growing demand for adapted Rolls-Royce commercial

vessel designs in the global governmental market we have
established a dedicated naval ship design team based in Bristol, UK.
The team leverages the expertise of other ship design teams around
the world and is focused on the OPV and support vessel sectors
to meet the needs of Naval, Coast Guard and other government
agencies for efficient and economical to build ship designs.
Integrated propulsion systems include those powered by Bergen
medium speed diesels and MTU high speed diesels .

Logistic support vessels

The Rolls-Royce family of Logistics Support Vessels (LSV)
are designed for fleet replenishment of solids and liquids
(fuel, aviation fuel, water). All designs use the award-winning
Environship hullform with Promas propeller/rudder and HSG
propulsion systems for optimum fuel efficiency.

Integrated ship systems

rolls-royce, your perfect partner for efficient and cost
effective systems solutions
Rolls-Royce has a wealth of experience in ship, propulsion
and power systems design. We have designed more than
800 offshore and merchant vessels in the last 30 years, and
many of them are now working in the worlds harshest
environments. Investment continues in the technologies
that address the need for more efficient and environmentally
sustainable power and propulsion systems.

NAVAL VESSELS

MERCHANt VESSELS
We have the ability to integrate complex ship systems that are
engineered to work efficiently together. As an integrator and a
designer our aim is to get the best products together as an efficient
system and design the optimum ship around them.

We go to great lengths to develop energy efficient hull

forms and integrate them with innovative high-performance
propulsion systems to minimise fuel consumption, lower
maintenance costs and reduce emissions. Proven experience
in using LNG as a marine fuel spans over five years, with a
growing number of Rolls-Royce LNG powered ships at sea.
The breadth of our product offering enables Rolls-Royce
to bring the right products together so the propulsion and
ancillary systems fully match the ship owner's operating
requirements. Construction and operational support is also
simplified - as there is a single point of contact for service and
spares.
In 2011 Rolls-Royce and Daimler joined forces to create a
new marine and industrial engine joint venture through the
acquisition of Tognum. The new entity brings together the
well-known MTU and Bergen engine names, extending the
product portfolio to include both medium-speed and highspeed diesel and gas engines.
