 Throughout these designs Delta Marine realizes the conceptual design, feasibility analyses, technical specifications, basic and classification plan, detailed engineering of hull and outfitting, instruction books and manual preparation and interior design, during the whole design process of a ship.

At the early stages of the design process, Delta Marine determines the parameters that will form the basis for optimum ship dimensions, hull form as well as the selection of propulsion system's type and power and auxiliary systems, according to the customer's requirements (for example, speed, DWT, number of passengers, number of vehicles etc.). Concerning the conceptual design stage of the project, Delta Marine provides the services stated as below

Determination of main dimensions according to ship type, speed and carrying capacity
Preliminary form design
Speed-power analysis
Calculation of preliminary stability, trimmed and damaged stability conditions
Calculation of preliminary weight distribution
Calculation of longitudinal strength
Subdivision calculations
Preparation of preliminary general arrangement
Calculation of capacities
Feasibility studies
Preparation of Technical Specification Booklet

In Delta Marine, Engineers of Structural Design, who are experts on their subjects, prepare the optimum structural configuration of ship dimensions by taking the type of cargo and type of the ship as reference. Their aim is to use minimum amount of material, to comply the rules of Classification Society, to develop special details in critical areas of fatigue and corrosion, to develop the most suitable structural configuration for workmanship and vibration. They utilize acknowledged software such as, Classification Society Software (for example, Poseidon, Safe Hull, Mars etc.) and Finite Element Analysis Software for all these purposes. The scope of services of structural design includes,

Design of midship and typical transverse section details
Design of ship structure and preparation of general steel construction drawings
Preparation of shell expansion and framing system
Preparation of engine room, foundation of main engine and other machinery equipment
Preparation of fore and aft structural details
Design of signal masts and crane columns
Design of hatch covers and ramp

CAD/CAM Engineers and Draftsmen in Delta Marine work on the realization of the items cited as below

Lines fairing
Preparation of manufacturing sections
Preparation of block plans
