Marine Engineering

Ockerman Automation has put together a team of marine, mechanical, and electrical engineers that have a broad range of experience designing and integrating various technologies and systems on-board marine vessels. This includes working with vendors and yards to specify and install electric-drive systems, energy storage systems, and their coinciding support systems into new build and refit projects. Our marine engineers also provide support to more traditional marine engineering projects such as machinery arrangements, auxiliary systems design, propulsion and steering system design and mechanical system design.

Naval Architecture

Ockerman Automation’s team of Naval Architects focus on weight estimation, stability, structure, hydrodynamic design, speed and power predictions, and energy storage sizing. This includes model test programs, sea trials, and inclining experiments. The Naval Architects work closely with the Automation team to optimize ESS packaging and integration.
