Be it on land, water, or even in air, the drive to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly is becoming more important every day.
The combination of DLBA and Leidos structural engineering capabilities brings significant benefit to our customers and their programs.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) had been pushing new Tier III requirements with stringent limits on Nitrous Oxides (NOx) levels in marine diesel engines.
Electrification is a real thing and is emerging as a movement that will impact all of us in our daily lives. Superyachts are not untouched by this movement.
Haig Point Transportation, located on picturesque Daufuskie Island, SC, has asked DLBA to assist with a repower of the 55’ (17m) HAIG POINT IV vessel in their ferry fleet. DLBA has previously provided similar services for the HAIG POINT II vessel.
DLBA Naval Architects is proud of our longtime relationship with Cruisers Yachts, which is getting an exciting new installment. We can’t share all the details, but we are stoked!
DLBA is excited to announce a collaboration with Blue Gulf Cat (UAE) on the hydrodynamic design of a 42’ (13m) high-speed catamaran. With a design top speed exceeding 65kts, speed is king on this platform leading to the use of multiple transverse steps on each demi hull to reduce resistance at the highest operating speeds.
The International Workboat Show is set for Wednesday, December 1st – Friday, December 3rd in New Orleans with an estimated 1,000 exhibitors ready to get back to business in person. DLBA is excited to be there with other attendees and exhibitors in this amazing southern state.
