Design Studio

Our passion for ships is clearly evident in the clean lines and balanced proportions of our designs.  A good design is where form and function meet with minimal complexity.  At KNUD E. HANSEN we go the extra mile to achieve harmonious designs that not only perform better, but are vessels you will be proud to have in your fleet.

With our extensive experience with passenger vessels we understand how interiors need to be arranged to maximise flow and comfort.  We work with you to ensure that your corporate values and branding are reflected in both interior and exterior design elements.

Let us show you your new vessel

Our talented designers understand the nuances of ship form and interior design and can use all medium from pencil and paper to computer modelling and rendering to bring your design to life.  For that extra impact, let us craft a movie showing your future vessel sailing or loading in port.  If a picture is worth a thousand words then a movie is surely worth a million.

Nowhere is our dedication to advancing ship design more evident than with our ShipSpace virtual reality visualisation tool.

Welcome to the future

Step aboard your new vessel in amazing detail and realism.  When you can experience design as if you were walking about in real life, you can easily use your experience and intuition.
