Genfer Lloyd: a new Polish consultancy F
OLLOWING our short November article about the formation of the Baltic Design
Centre in Gdynia, we have also heard about another new Polish ship design office. This is Genfer Lloyd, set up in 2004 but with its ship design office established in 2005; the consultancy is still developing. Currently around 50 people are employed,
with the largest concentration of employees in hull structures (21 employees) and machinery/ piping (18 people). The headquarters are in Szczecin, close to Stocznia Szczecinska (Szczecin Shipyard), and many years of experience are embodied in the workforce, which comprises both Polish and European personnel, mostly with MSc degrees; some are former employees of Stocznia Szczecinska. They are able to handle all naval architectural
and shipbuilding tasks, including technical assistance with selecting equipment, document approval, and sea trials. A range of quality software is employed, including Nupas Cadmatic, Autocad, Napa (starting January 2007), DNV Nauticus (starting January 2007), and GL Poseidon (also starting in January 2007). Rhino and Expander are also used, and Tribon is available, if required. Genfer Lloyd has already been working with
Skipsteknisk, in Norway, preparing workshop documentation for a research ship, and with another Norwegian company, the shipbuilder
Technical staff at work in the Genfer Lloyd office.
