Warnow Design: Engineering consultancy in Rostock

Warnow Design: Engineering consultancy in Rostock

We design, calculate and develop ships, offshore structures and steel structures. We take projects from concept development through calculation and design to the fabrication documents.

Our shipbuilding, offshore, structural steel and mechanical engineers work as one team. Experience from one project feeds straight into the next.

We analyse requirements, loads and boundary conditions, and we use them to develop designs and technical documents for fabrication, inspection, approval and operation.

History

Since 2004Engineering from Rostock

2004

Shipyard spin-off in Rostock

Warnow Design was founded in Rostock in 2004. What began as a spin-off from a shipyard became an engineering consultancy specialising in shipbuilding, offshore engineering, structural steel and mechanical engineering.

2019

Part of FERCHAU GmbH

Warnow Design has been part of FERCHAU GmbH since 2019. That makes us part of a larger network. We continue to carry out planning, design and calculations at our Rostock office.

Today

Directly by the Warnow

Our roots are in shipbuilding. Today we also work on offshore structures, structural steel projects and mechanical designs. We take projects from concept development through calculation and design to the fabrication documents. Our office is directly beside the Warnow.

Team

35+ Engineers

More than 35 engineers work at Warnow Design.

Our shipbuilding, offshore, structural steel and mechanical engineers work as one team. Experience from one project feeds straight into the next.

In our engineering team, calculation engineers, designers and specialists work on projects together. The same team handles design and verification.

How wework

The solution beats elegance

We treat design, fabrication and operation as parts of the same task.

We speak openly about effort, benefit and technical limits.

We assess whether an optimisation justifies the effort, and we say so early.

We say what will not work

We speak openly about feasibility, effort and benefit.

When the effort required for a change outweighs its benefit, we say so early.

The price is in the quotation

Scope, assumptions and costs are set out clearly. When boundary conditions change, we discuss the implications.

The outside perspective

We work in shipbuilding, offshore wind, structural steel and mechanical engineering. Experience from one project feeds straight into the next. Methods and design principles from offshore engineering can also be applied to shipbuilding or structural steel projects. We draw on experience from different fields when developing new designs.

Mistakes belong on the table

Problems do not go away when they are ignored.

So we raise them early.
