STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, DESIGN, AND DRAFTING

Global Maritime is an independent, privately owned firm of marine and offshore

engineering consultants. Our staff, specialized in structural engineering, naval architecture and marine
operations have been engaged in structural design, analysis and drafting of offshore floating /fixed facilities
for more than twenty years.

We have gained extensive experience through demanding projects ranging from design criteria identification,
load/response determination, global and local structural analysis, to structural system reliability and integrity
management. Our staff utilize state-of-art analysis and drafting tools such as: SESAM, SACS, STAAD,
COSMOS, ABAQUS, MOSES, AutoCAD, AutoDesk 3D Inventor.
