Expertise
We consistently invest in human technology, research and analysis to simplify solutions for complex engineering requirements and help our clients bring them to life in the most cost and time effective manner. Our dedicated team of 80+ Naval Architects, Marine Engineers, Designers and affiliates across the globe collaborate with the clients, from the conception of the vessel design through to its successful execution. Vedam’s technical force supports its clients at every step of the way, even after completion of the project.
VESSEL CONCEPTUALISATION
Custom designed vessels that optimise returns
We partner with our clients in their journey right from the challenge phase, all the way through to the efficient implementation of our design solutions. We thoroughly understand their business, resources and objectives before we hit the drawing board. And then we don’t just stop at conceptualising the optimum vessel that can maximise returns for them, but actually make it happen alongside our clients.
To sight an example, one of our clients was facing a challenge in transporting the oil they drill on the shore to the anchorage. We studied the drilling location, anchorage site and sailed closest river to understand depth and bridge constraints, to begin with. Our first hand insights and practical experience enabled us to not only design the optimal barge for them, but also empowr it with a gas propulsion that used the very gas, produced as by-product of oil drilling.
PROJECT SUPERVISION
Empowering clients with efficient on-site implementation
The success of a project doesn’t lie alone on how brilliant the design strategy is but how efficiently it is implemented within practical timelines and budgets. And that is exactly why we are committed to empower our clients with a specialised on-site support force, focussed on crisis-free project management. We deploy meticulous planning, progressive tools and technology to collaborate across teams and optimise our clients’ time and resources. The idea is to help them stay focussed on their core responsibilities while the project is under implementation and enrich them with the additional skills to operate the vessel independently once its ready.
Some of our project supervision services are detailed below:
• Coordinations: We undertake complete coordinations with shipyards, class, vendor, owners, managers, etc on behalf of our clients
• Domain Experts: We deploy the most capable site supervisors and quality inspectors from steel, outfitting, machinery, electrical and other varied expertise.
• Tracking tools: We carry out continuous progress monitoring, scheduling and reporting to ensure on-time project delivery.
CONVERSION DESIGN
Time and cost efficient conversions that optimise performance
A successful conversion not only delivers on the client’s expectations of optimising the vessel but also does so in a time and cost-effective manner, with minimum modifications. We undertake this challenge by thoroughly comprehending the existing asset, capturing data and assessing the balance life as well as the utility of the vessel, using the most progressive technologies such as 3D scanning, remote supervision and cloud networking, amongst other.Our expertise in re-engineering vessels owes to our meticulous research and planning, insightful engineering design and most importantly, our strength and experience in site supervision. Our engineers carefully factor in the execution methodology at the designing stage itself, in order to simplify implementation on site.
ENGINEERING DESIGN
Solution-focused designs that are also practical to implement
When it comes to varied shipping challenges, one design may not fit all. Each client has a different objective and needs a distinct solution within their specific time, budget and resource constraints.
That is where Vedam comes into the picture. From undertaking the complete design process to engaging for a specific stage, we support our clients through and through. Thanks to our rich on-site experience, we ensure designs that are not just rule-compliant but also realistic to implement. We constantly anticipate future challenges and upgrade our skills and technology to offer tomorrow’s solutions, today.

Visualize dimensionally-accurate as-built info via high quality point cloud captured using latest scanners.
3D Laser Scanning helps capture the built environment digitally to provide you with highly-accurate, measurable, visual, and comprehensible data. For damaged areas or spaces for redesign, it studies deformities to improve the current form, and also helps meet decarbonization requirements by improving the design of the vessel. You can:
- Effectively work on damaged areas or spaces meant to be redesigned
- Helps identify and rectify deformities
- Helps improve design and meet compliances
- 3D scanning brings the spatial point cloud as the new gold standard for design and control of physical assets.
