What We Do, and Do Well

With our experts on your side, you spend less time wondering if your vessels are efficient and compliant, and more time doing what you do best. We guide you each step of the way, putting almost a century of quality, innovation, and shipyard experience behind every project.

Better to Build | Better to Operate

Below the surface of every build lay thousands of hours of design and analysis work ensuring vessels will be built correctly, operate smoothly and make certain the safety of every passenger, operator and builder.

Looking below the surface of the steel, EBDG's 3D lofting & production model is revealed, with colors representing different plate thicknesses or curvature values. This is the digital blueprint—the true prototype that's been iterated countless times, long before any physical material was purchased or cut.

Pulling back the layers of engineering, EBDG
showcases the Staten Island Ferry in several forms including the initial General Arrangement, the Structural 3D Model, the Hull Optimization & Wake Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis (CFD), and finally the delivered
vessel built by Eastern Shipbuilding Group.

3D scanning is a valuable tool used to gather a wealth of data with ultimate accuracy. Its result is an effective visual communication aid that vessel owners, operators and shipyards can use to make better, more informed decisions. Additionally, it gives our engineers the ability to evaluate data and solve problems more precisely.

EBDG offers an array of naval architecture and
marine engineering services to meet the unique needs of our clients.
