In order to prevent noise pollution of oceans and align with environmental regulations acoustics have become a critical factor in the marine industry. Shipbuilders face the challenge of developing clean, energy-efficient vessels, which also offer a high level of passenger comfort - especially in regard to cruise ships, pleasure boats and luxury yachts.

With our expertise in simulation Novicos helps shipbuilders virtually analyze a vessel's performance and acoustic behavior using Finite Elements, Boundary Elements and hybrid methods. A research project in co-operation with Germany's main shipbuilding companies gave us the opportunity to develop new energy-based elements, which enable vibro-acoustic analyses even in the higher frequency ranges. Our numerous projects in the marine industry give us a sound knowledge in the field of sonar systems and technology.
