Ferry & Cruise Design Passenger vessels and ferries are the lifeblood of OSK Group. Together, sister companies Steen Friis Design and OSK-ShipTech have specialised in the design of passenger vessels, both domestic and international, RoPax ferries, special cruise vessels, and more.

In our field of expertise, we are striving to push the design boundaries and driving technological breakthroughs with tailored concept designs for passenger vessels, and we help owners and yards turn travel and design trends into strong and profitable concepts – no matter your requirements or business model.

It starts with the right concept CONCEPT DESIGN & DEFINITION We assist owners combining trends and visions, technical demands, regulatory requirements, environmental considerations, and budget into one innovative design solution.

COMPLETE DESIGN PACKAGES We offer the combined expertise of our architects, engineers, and designers for development of complete basic and detail design packages including general arrangement, mechanical and electrical layouts and specifications, outfitting and statutory drawings, production fairing, cutting files, and procurement lists.

BALANCING PURPOSE & IMPACT We assist clients on designing the optimal vessel for every purpose with minimum environmental impact. Our concept designs incorporate optimisations of trim and hull, propeller evaluation, analysis of engine room consumption, incorporation of alternative fuels as well as ballast water management.

CORPORATE IDENTITY & BRANDING We know the value of strong concepts – contributing to a solid business as well as building and strengthening our clients’ corporate identity and brand.

We assist clients with innovative concept designs that build and support their brand and image as frontrunners in their field of operation.

The Future is here

Step aboard the design before the ship is built OPTIMISED SHIP DESIGN WITH VIRTUAL REALITY We use virtual reality to invite our customer on board the vessel in the early design phase and before the building proces has begun. The global collaboration tool offers detailed and life-like simulations, allowing us to engage in ‘deeper’ design discussions with our clients at a much earlier stage.

With virtual reality, we can optimise the design process both time-wise and financially as changes to your design are risk-free. You get a view of the finished look and flow with a true sense of depth and scale offering new possibilities when it comes to visualisation of concepts and proposed designs.

MEET INSIDE THE DESIGN – FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD Our VR tool offers blended virtual reality and gamification allowing several participants to be in the virtual environment at the same time. This means that you can walk around the virtual ship together with the designer and discuss the various features. Within the simulated 360-degree views, you get a life-like feel of the interiors – the surfaces, designs, and spaces. You can also test how the spaces are laid out to nudge passengers to flow through shops, entertainment, halls and stairways, test escape routes, and so much more. With virtual reality, we can keep the design process moving forward efficiently despite corona restrictions and limitations in physical meetings.

ENGAGE YOUR STAKEHOLDERS EARLY ON Get your entire organisation aboard the exiting journey of designing a new ship. Make sure you get vital input from the central stakeholders who will be operating the ship’s functions on a day-to-day basis. Let them test galley functions, space between tables, layout of shops and entertainment, bridge and controls, engine room configurations, and cabins and accommodation. With VR, your end-users can get immersed in the proposed layouts to provide valuable feedback for the continued design process.

Award-winning Designs Every sailing ship is a manifestation and tangible result of great collaborations between designers, owners, yards and suppliers as well as countless hours of calculations and engineering, concept development, design discussions, and sparring. Aside from knowing that our designs are sailing almost every ocean, having a ship awarded for a particular achievement makes us extra proud.

Over the years, Steen Friis Design and OSK-ShipTech have received numerous awards for our designs. In 2014 we won the Shippax Award together with Fjord Line for the successful conversion of MV Oslofjord. Then, for three consecutive years 2014-2015-2016, we won Maritime Denmark’s award Danish Ship of the Year for Bergensfjord, Prinsesse Isabella, and OV Bøkfjord.

Latest, MV Visborg was awarded the Shippax Technology and Design Award in 2019, and W.B. Yeats was given the Shippax Ferry Concept Award in 2018 and the Ferry Shipping Summit’s Ferry of the Year Award in 2019.
