MST utilises state of the art Solidworks™ 3-dimensional computer aided engineering (CAD) software to develop its craft and their components.

Every aspect of each craft is fully modelled including material properties allowing MST to calculate extremely accurate weight predictions and successfully engineer lifting systems for precise dynamic behaviour. Concepts can be rapidly produced for evaluation purposes allowing clients to accurately visualise their proposed craft and be actively involved in the vessel's development.

MST can carry out finite element analysis of structures to ensure lift systems or towing bollards are safe for their intended purpose. In addition structures can be optimised for weight saving programmes.

MST benefits from a full naval architecture facility in house to create new hull designs and carry out hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis of projects.

MST offers a design consultancy service for projects to be built by other yards including design, project management and build supervision.
