Design to Cost: optimizing the overall value of the ship from its design stage

A high-performing vessel is first and foremost one designed to meet its precise needs. In its role as Project Management Assistance, ANEMO supports its clients in defining and optimizing their naval projects by integrating operational, economic, and environmental considerations from the earliest stages. Our Cost Engineering approach aims to find the best balance between mission, performance, CAPEX, OPEX, and environmental impact.

Understanding the need to define the right solution

Before designing a ship, it is essential to precisely define its functions, uses and requirements.

ANEMO assists the project owner in:

• the functional analysis of the need;

• requirements management;

• the identification of operational and regulatory constraints;

• the definition of expected performance criteria.

This approach makes it possible to design a ship adapted to its mission and to avoid technical choices that generate unnecessary costs.

Optimize value across the entire lifecycle

Architectural choices directly influence the overall cost of the ship.

We are conducting a compromise analysis between:

• investment cost (CAPEX);

• operating costs (OPEX);

• energy consumption;

• maintenance and availability;

• environmental impact.

The objective is not to reduce the cost of construction, but to optimize the value of the ship over its entire operating life.
