Port and Maritime engineering together with Coastal engineering form the core business of Delta Marine Consultants Singapore. As port projects are generally associated with substantial economic interests, Delta Marine Consultants Singapore’s clients in this field of expertise include governments, port authorities and large international companies in bulk and containerized cargo shipping who are preparing their port and berthing facilities for future demands.
Studies are therefore characterized by an exploration and substantiated selection of viable concepts to meet the functional requirements. This process requires a close co-operation with our clients and sets challenges for our engineers to use their creativity for the development of economic practical solutions.
An in-depth knowledge and understanding of the local conditions is required to arrive at these economic and practicable solutions. Local conditions such as wave climate, wind, currents and subsoil characteristics have a considerable – if not decisive – impact on the most appropriate concept and design. Delta Marine Consultants Singapore has in house expertise to evaluate the relevant local meteorological and oceanographic conditions, as well as the response of moored vessels. All this expertise is required to develop tailor made port layouts.
Delta Marine Consultants Singapore’s expertise in the field of ports and harbours further extends to in-depth knowledge on the design of maritime structures. Conceptual, final and detailed design of quay walls, jetties, offloading facilities, breakwaters and intake and outfall systems are included in the portfolio of Delta Marine Consultants Singapore.
