Initial Design is the stage of be required to meet the features and needs of the conceptual ship design is revealed. Basic philosophy, will emerge in the final characteristics of the ship would have ; to do the design, analysis and testing work will be based on the originally expected.
The stage include to do basic performance predictions such as the creation of ship form, arrest general arrangement compatibility, speed-power, stability, weight, load analysis and cost analysis, prepare sale and presentation documents.
SEFT is assertive about initial design service (Initial design service is the most ambitious service for SEFT). Since 2001, SEFT sign various type and varied features designs which give the chance to develop their experience in this area and demonstrate their ability with conclusions reached.

Today’s technological capabilities allow the problems of our design and their components can be modeled and analyzed in the digital environment. Developing software which based on finite element provide us to do simulation and analysis studies regarding both ship form and structural and hardware components.
SEFT offer services in major areas such as ship form optimization, determining streamlines, hull pressure distributions(distribution of trace) and global and local structure analysis by using the finite elements method.
Analysis service which provided by SEFT, compatible with initial design, by this means they create more faster, consume less power, more lighter, more innovative and lower cost designs. Analysis service is positioned in design systematic that to manage this features.
SEFT offer analysis services can be grouped under two main headings:
1. Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis
2. Structural Analysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis are mostly used for (accurately determine the ship’s performance) which is directly related to form optimization, ship resistance, propulsion system and superstructure resistance.
Under favor of CFD software, we can analyze:
In addition, analysis include that optimization of position of bow thruster and retractable thruster and decided to the most suitable position of under water monitoring sensor.
SEFT provides following services with CFD software:
· Ship Form Analysis (and Optimization)
· Analysis of Components of Ship Resistance
(Friction, Form and Wave Resistance)
· Ship Resistance Calculations
· Analysis of the Waveform around Ship Hull
· Streamlines and Wake Distribution Analysis
· Open Water Propeller Calculations
· Free Surface Flow Analysis
· Wake Distribution on Propeller
CFD Analysis for EEXI
Ship’s structural analysis can be performed by using software which based on finite element method. Examining the whole of the ship and particular region is possible by using FE analysis.
SEFT offer FEA services can be grouped under two main headings:
1. Global Analysis
2. Local Analysis
Global Analysis
First step in the global analysis structural modeling of the vessel to be examined and defining the effect of this structure is to be exposed. Strength analysis is performed under these effects.
SEFT target to design more strong, more lightweight structure and easy manufacturing by integrating their strong knowledge and FEA possibilities.
With FE Analysis are the services we provide:
· Bending Moments and Shear Forces
· Torsional Moments
· Analysis For Different Load Case and Sea States
Local Analysis
Beside global analysis we need sensitive analysis at some parts of the ship for some special cases. Details of the model are increased at the area to be examined and then acting forces are defined and analysis is performed.
Stress value of the examined area is obtained and then it provide doing structural optimization.
With FE Analysis are the services we provide:
· Stress Analysis and Capacity Calculations for Equipment FoundationsFatigue and Buckling Analysis
· Explosion and Shock Analysis
· Structural Analysis for Cannons/Gun
At the beginning of 2007, SEFT has acted with following parameters when determining their vision which innovative, high quality and produce design that exceed expectations.
1. The demands are varying from day to day
2. Decreasing naturel resources
3. Increased environmental risks
4. Rapid technological developments
5. Regulations and rules which changing in parallel these
At first, SEFT had accepted GOSB Technopark at 2010 by R&D facilities about military vessel design in this way SEFT became the first ship design firm which is accepted at Technology Develop Zone.
At 2012, SEFT has taken a further step in the field of R&D and constitute a department to do high quality design to response civilian and military demand. R&D department is working with extremely qualified and well experienced engineers and advanced infrastructure.
R&D team creating designs as well as R&D qualified for commercial and government buyers in addition the team creating projects for like TUBITAK.
Major Activities In The R&D Area
· Green Vessel Design

SEFT aims to be a leader in the national market and work as a strong player in the international market and work to design ship which beyond the age continuously.
“Shipbuilding Project” is temporary endeavor, limited by its beginning and end; aims to create unique vessel or service to clients ;has excessive number of interrelated activities between different disciplines of engineering. It is very complex when it comes to manage the whole progress gradually, since person/corporation involved in the project are basically not concerned with just shipbuilding or concerned with just one sector of this industry and project is progressively elaborated.
SEFT is able to apply its wide range knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to Project activities to meet Project requirements in a cost-effective, quick and advanced engineering manner. As proven itself in projects like “(here, we should write the Project that we managed)”, SEFT assures its customers to support top management which is essential for a project to define a single responsibility center, improve planning and controlling processes and improve communication between departments.
Our Knowledge Area Includes:
· Integration Management,

SEFT manages projects with its experienced and responsive key team via using up-to-date computer programs such as……… Our team gives an opportunity to clients to reach information simultaneously and transparently. One of our main mission is to become a value-added ship design Office and pass the limits with continuously improving our learning curve.
Services which include one or more of initial, basic and detail & production design and project oriented cooperation services can be provided by SEFT.
Especially SEFT aims to demonstrate their quality and expertise at overseas market, in this context, in recent years has been taken part in major projects.
SEFT take not of R&D studies and joint project under the service. SEFT constitute synergy with many important firm by using advantage of taking part in Technology Development Zone.
SEFT Engineering Retrofit Team has completed over 250 ballast water treatment system retrofit project since BWTS convention entered into force.
We have retrofitted different types of vessels in different sizes from yachts to Cargo Vessels, from new buildings to existing vessels, we have received a good track record of references also in different types of BWT Systems.
We would like to thank ship-owners, shipyards selected us as their solution partner, BWTS Manufacturers for their corporative approach during all mentioned challenging projects.

We are able to scan hull form to create digital twin. Our objective was to collect real data of the hull form since original lines plan is missing which is very common problem for existing vessels. Data from scaning stations provided information to be used for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis after a successful post-processing done by our retrofit engineering team.
After scanning process and delivering 3D hull form, Ship Theory and R&D Team run all necessary analysis to validate the CFD model using existing sea trial and towing tank results to attain the EEXI of the vessel.
