Steller Systems is pleased to announce that it is now a Corporate Partner of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA). This recognises our commitment to achieving and maintaining high professional standards in our employees. Our team of naval architects are all active members of RINA, and Steller Systems’ Managing Director is a Fellow of RINA.
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects is an internationally-renowned professional institution whose members are involved at all levels in the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures.
Two of Steller’ naval architects, Dominic Horner and Rick Goddard, will be presenting a paper entitled “Small Combatant Accidental Damage Extents”, which explores the impact on vessel design of moving from a two-compartment damage requirement to a 15% length damage extent, through a series of design explorations on four current small combatants.
Meanwhile Rick Goddard will also present a paper entitled “A New Approach to the Derivation of V-Line Criteria for a Range of Naval Vessels”, which compares heave and roll allowances derived from the probability of water height on the bulkheads bounding the damage. The comparison was conducted in varying sea states and for a number of vessel types, and enabled conclusions to be drawn regarding the suitability of current criteria for a variety of vessels and in particular their sensitivity to sea state.
FY2013/14 has been another momentous year for Steller Systems. As we celebrate our third anniversary, we reflect on the range of work we have conducted in the military and civilian sectors, providing a real difference to our clients’ programmes. This summer’s newsletter contains some of the highlights of this very exciting time in the growth of Steller Systems.
Our team of experienced naval architects, marine engineers and systems engineers are ready to help you to make your projects succeed. If you have a requirement for naval architecture consultancy, please get in touch.
We are pleased to announce that one of Steller Systems’ Senior Naval Architects, Dominic Burger, has won the 2014 Sir Donald Gosling award for the best paper and presentation by someone under 35 at the 12th International Naval Engineering Conference held in Amsterdam. Dominic presented on the subject of “Unmanned naval aviation and its impact on future carrier design” summarising work that he led in the Naval Design Partnership.
Romica Engineering has signed Steller Systems as its preferred supplier of naval architecture support. The establishment of this formal agreement between the two companies provides Romica’s worldwide customers easy access to assured support from naval architects who understand the complexities of the installation and operation of winches, A frames and subsea handling equipment on board ship. Romica Engineering was founded in 2003 to provide payload welfare to the oceanographic and offshore oil & gas sector. Romica supports companies undertaking subsea measurement, monitoring and IRM (Inspection Repair Maintenance) tasks through a range of services, tools and equipment solutions.
Three of Steller Systems’ team of Naval Architects will be presenting papers at the 12th International Naval Engineering Conference and Exhibition, which is taking place on 20th-22nd May in Amsterdam. The conference, which is being held by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST), is the leading conference for the global naval engineering community.
Principal Naval Architect and Managing Director Robert Skarda (himself a Fellow of IMarEST) and Senior Naval Architect Rick Goddard will be presenting a paper entitled ‘UXV-Enabled Totally Modular Combatant’, which discusses how modularity in ship design can help achieve competing requirements such as increased capability, increased survivability and reduced through-life cost. Meanwhile Senior Naval Architect Dominic Burger will present a paper entitled ‘Unmanned Naval Aviation and its Impact on Future Carrier Design’, which demonstrates the extent to which the move towards unmanned aviation could influence the design of an aircraft carrier built to operate such craft.
Steller Systems has been awarded “Judges’ Favourite” in the 2013 QinetiQ Industry Powerboat Challenge in Haslar. This annual competition challenges teams from across the industry to design and build its own radio-controlled model powerboat and race it around a course in QinetiQ’s Ocean Basin Facility. Steller Systems may be used to designing large ships, but it drew upon its naval architecture skills and experience to design, model and build a 700mm shallow-V planning hullform, dubbed the Sea B’Eagle.
The Sea B’Eagle was pitched against 12 other teams from some of the biggest companies in the marine industry. Sea B’Eagle took fourth position in the heats, before crashing out in the final race and ultimately coming in third place. However, Steller Systems’ design won “Judges’ Favourite”, which is awarded every year to the team judged to have displayed the greatest degree of innovation, the best engineered design and the most attractive livery.
Steller Systems is pleased to announce that it has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification for its Quality Management System. This standard is recognised worldwide as a benchmark for quality.
Steller Systems operates a comprehensive Quality Management System that focusses on effective project management, stringent quality control, continual improvement and customer satisfaction. The awarding of this standard recognises Steller Systems’ commitment to providing an exceptional level of service to its customers.
