Fisheries Patrol Vessel – <em>North Eastern Guardian IV</em>

3D modelling to navigate complex system arrangements

The North Eastern Guardian was commissioned to serve dual roles as both a research platform and a fishery patrol vessel, demanding a versatile and highly functional systems design

Our scope included the delivery of a complete mechanical systems schematic package complemented by a 3D routing model covering mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems. Adapting our previously developed sub-24m design, we accommodated the revised vessel layout which introduced a particularly complex routing challenge in the aft section of the technical space. By utilising 3D modelling we were able to provide the shipyard with clear, precise installation guidance, significantly streamlining the build process and mitigating potential delays.

Finalising the complete systems design early in the project allowed us to incorporate critical equipment specifications and material selections directly into the schematics, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to construction. This proactive approach facilitated efficient integration of all technical systems and contributed to enhanced vessel performance and reliability which supported the North Eastern Guardian’s operational objectives across research and patrol missions.
