ILS Ship Design & Engineering
ILS - Your Strategic Naval Architect Partner
We are a Finnish naval architecture and marine engineering company providing high-end design and consulting services for customers in the marine industry worldwide. Built on over three decades of experience, we are now firmly established as a trustworthy and versatile ship design partner to a very diversified customer base around the world. Shipyards and other design companies depend on our professionalism, and call on us to undertake even the most demanding and delicate technical tasks.
We design ships for the needs of the offshore oil and gas industry, offshore wind companies, coast guards and navies, tanker operators and passenger ship owners, governments and private sector organisations: tugboats, OSVs, SOVs, MPVs, OSRVs, commuter ferries, road ferries, escort icebreakers, harbour icebreakers, research vessels, buoy tenders, hovercrafts, minelayers, patrol boats, tankers, and carriers of all descriptions.
Our most significant expertise is related to ice technology. All the ships we have designed that have been built have been ice-classified. Many of them have been actual icebreakers: harbor, offshore, multipurpose and escort icebreakers. With our experience, we have developed a strong view of how the icebreaking and ice maneuverability requirements set for various ships, as well as other requirements related to the operational profiles of the ships, are best met.
