Engineering and Design

Trusted Partner in Ship Design and Engineering

At LTH-Baas, our Design and Engineering Division is committed to being a trusted partner to shipowners and shipyards, helping

  • maximize vessel performance
  • increase operational efficiency
  • and reduce project costs

For all types of vessels:

  • passenger vessels
  • cruise ships
  • defense
  • navy
  • offshore structures
  • any others

We specialize in retrofit design services that are not only cost-effective but also easy to implement and maintain — delivering practical, real-world solutions that traditional design houses cannot match.

Expertise in Advanced Marine Retrofit Design

With 29+ years of hands-on experience in shipbuilding and ship retrofit installation projects, our team delivers engineering solutions that prioritize precision, speed, and efficiency.

Key strengths of our approach include

3D Laser Scanning & Point Cloud Modeling

We use accurate 3D laser-scanned point clouds to develop optimal retrofit layouts.

This data-driven method:

• Minimizes the need for rerouting
• Maximizes prefabrication opportunities
• Optimizes the use of limited onboard space

• Reduces time spent in drydock
• Shipowners and designers make faster, more informed decisions
• Improve planning accuracy during the pre-drydock phase

Smart Design (VR-modeling & 3D design)

LTH-Baas introduces Smart Design approach using Augmented and Virtual Reality technologies in design of technical retrofit projects.
