This week Steller Systems says goodbye to MOD graduate Jamie Wright, who has been working with us for the last six months on a placement as part of the Defence Engineering and Science Group (DESG) Graduate Scheme. During his time with us, Jamie has worked on, and gained experience of, a variety of projects. These include helping to assess a Royal Navy vessel against the IMO Polar Code, conducting structural analysis and calculations for a foreign vessel, producing design documentation for ship modifications, conducting ship visits and, most recently, helping to design and build Steller Systems’ entry for the QinetiQ Industry Powerboat Challenge. He has also co-authored and presented an entry to the IMarEST/RINA Western Joint Branch Design Challenge and is currently co-authoring a paper with Steller Systems’ staff for presentation later this year at the INEC 2018 conference.
The placement is part of a reciprocal arrangement with MOD, which has seen one of Steller Systems’ graduates conducting a placement in the MOD’s Naval Authority Group (NAG).
The whole team has really enjoyed working with Jamie. We wish him the best of luck with his next placement and look forward to working with him in the future.
Two of Steller Systems’ naval architects are competing in the IMarEST / RINA Design Challenge 2017 this evening.
The challenge, which is run by the Western Joint Branch (a joint branch of RINA and IMarEST), is to design a life boat capable of rescuing up to 1,000 people from the sea at once. The team has designed an innovative, rapidly-expandable high-capacity lifeboat which is capable of accommodating 1,000 people but which can be deployed and retrieved using existing lifeboat davits.
Steller Systems’ team comprises two of our Graduates: George Payne, a Graduate Naval Architect, and James Wright, an Engineering Graduate in the MOD who is part-way through a six-month placement at Steller Systems as part of the MOD’s Defence Engineering and Science Group (DESG) Graduate Scheme.
Steller Systems was pleased to welcome the First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sir Philip Jones and the Second Sea Lord and Deputy Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Simon Woodcock to its stand at DSEI on 12th and 13th September 2017. Other distinguished guests included the Head of the Navy Capability Shipbuilding Strategy Commodore John MacDonald and DE&S Director of Ship Acquisition Henry Parker.
The First Sea Lord and Steller Systems’ Managing Director Rob Skarda held broad-ranging discussions, including about Steller Systems’ innovative design for Type 31e, SPARTAN. SPARTAN is a configurable, modular, survivable, affordable and exportable ship that has been designed to meet or exceed the Royal Navy’s current and future requirements for a General Purpose Frigate, and satisfy the export market’s need for a small, capable warship.
The visit was one of many highlights of Steller Systems’ week exhibiting at the world’s leading defence and security event at ExCeL in London.
Steller Systems is currently exhibiting at DSEI 2017, the world-leading defence and security event taking place from now until the 15th September at ExCeL in London. We would like to invite you to visit us on stand S10-200, near entrance S10 of the south hall.

Steller Systems is excited to announce that Luke Barkway has joined our team as a Principal Naval Architect. Luke is a qualified naval architect with 10 years’ experience based in shipyards and design offices around the globe. He brings expertise on a range of vessel types covering super yachts, workboats, surface naval ships and submarines. Luke joins us from QinetiQ where he was technical lead on a number of research projects involving resistance and propulsion, seakeeping, acoustics, fluid structure interactions and propeller design.
Luke joins us at a time of continued growth for the company, as we expand our range of customers and the services we provide. Due to the increasing demand for our services, we are looking for Senior Naval Architects, a Marine Engineering Business Manager and a Graduate Naval Architect. However, we are always keen to hear from talented naval architects, marine engineers and systems engineers; please see our Careers page for more details.
Steller Systems is looking forward to the upcoming publication this spring of the National Ship Building Strategy, in response to Sir John Parker’s November 2016 report. This called for a “sea change” in naval procurement and a “modern and innovative design” for Type 31e, also known as General Purpose Frigate (GPFF). Our innovative design, Project Spartan, is a configurable, modular, survivable, affordable and exportable ship, that will meet the requirements for Type 31e whilst also being a highly attractive proposition to export markets. We have focussed on packing as much UK industrial capability and UK equipment into an attractive package, benefitting the Royal Navy and the UK as a whole.
For more details of our design, please see our brochure.
Steller Yachts is proud to support VoyageVert in its plans to develop the first-ever transatlantic sailing ferry service, by designing a 110m trimaran capable of carrying 200 passengers and 46 crew safely across the Atlantic in ten days. The service aims to provide a viable alternative to long-haul flights, encouraging passengers to consider more environmentally friendly travel options.
VoyageVert, a not-for-profit organisation, believes that there is a need to create a reliable alternative to flight, and intends to provide a sustainable passenger ferry service to cross the seaways of the world. It has recently undertaken a successful crowdfunding campaign to progress this exciting project further.
