End-to-End Engineering for Dredging and Offshore Operations

At Fluxiss, we design working vessels that operate under pressure, tight timelines, and strict regulations. This project reflects our core service offering in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, and Structural Design for dredging and offshore support fleets across global markets.

We partnered with an international shipbuilding team to deliver a 1,000 m³ Split Hopper Barge, built to transport and dump dredged material safely and efficiently. The vessel was developed for government-linked marine operations, where reliability, compliance, and structural clarity matter more than anything else.

From Concept to Class-Ready Design

What the Client Needed

The requirement was simple on paper but complex in execution. A high-capacity split hopper barge had to be engineered from the ground up, with a complete design package ready for construction and certification. The vessel needed clear layouts, proven structural strength, and full safety documentation.

Fluxiss was engaged to deliver the complete engineering scope, covering layout planning, structural design, and regulatory drawings.

Engineering Challenges We Solved

Designing for Load, Strength, and Control

A split hopper barge carries heavy, shifting dredged material. This creates challenges in longitudinal strength, stability, and controlled dumping. The structural design had to support repeated loading cycles without compromising safety.

Another challenge was space optimization. The vessel had to balance hopper volume, machinery access, crew safety, and flood protection within limited dimensions.

Fire safety compliance also required careful planning, as certification depends on clear evacuation routes and correct equipment placement.

Our Technical Deliverables

Practical Designs That Shipyards Can Build

Fluxiss delivered a full General Arrangement (GA) Plan, defining compartments, hopper layout, tank positioning, and operational zones. This became the backbone for construction and coordination.

We designed and detailed Transverse Bulkheads to support hull strength, improve damage stability, and meet flood safety requirements.

A complete Fire Control Plan was developed in line with maritime safety documentation standards. It clearly mapped firefighting systems, escape routes, and emergency stations.

All hull modeling, stability checks, and structural calculations were completed using industry-standard naval architecture software, ensuring accuracy and audit readiness.

The Outcome

A Class-Ready Vessel Design Delivered on Time

The final result was a construction-ready, regulation-aligned Split Hopper Barge design. The vessel met capacity targets, safety expectations, and structural performance requirements without design rework during later stages.

The client received a clear, buildable engineering package that reduced approval time, simplified fabrication, and supported long-term operational reliability.

This project strengthened Fluxiss’ position as a trusted engineering partner for dredging and offshore vessel design, serving clients across regions and regulatory frameworks.

Why Engineering Teams Choose Fluxiss

We focus on real vessels, real constraints, and real operations. Our designs work not just in software, but at sea, in yards, and under inspectors’ review.
