Marine systems design · Sweden

Marine systems, from concept to detail.

We design the systems of ships for shipyards and design offices, and we draw them in software we wrote ourselves.

Ardila Marine AB · Stockholm, Sweden

MV FULMAR, a concept vessel designed by Ardila Marine AB, and the bunker stations of its MGO diagram, FUL-P-01: both from Marine Flow Studio.

01 · Marine systems design

Concept, basic and detail design.

We take a ship's systems from the first idea to the drawings the yard builds from: the diagrams, the calculations behind them and the lists that go with them.

PHASE 1

Concept

Which systems the ship needs, how big they are and where their tanks go: the input to the general arrangement and the specification.

  • System descriptions
  • Tank capacities
  • First diagram of each system
  • Main equipment list

PHASE 2

Basic

The diagrams for class approval, with the calculations behind them and the main equipment specified.

  • P&IDs for class approval
  • Pipe and pump sizing
  • Equipment specifications
  • Line, valve and equipment lists

PHASE 3

Detail

The diagrams carried into production: what the 3D model and the workshop work from, and answers when the yard asks.

  • P&IDs for production
  • Input to the 3D piping model
  • Material lists
  • Support during construction

Systems we design

  • Fuel oil
  • Lubricating oil
  • Sea and fresh cooling water
  • Bilge
  • Ballast
  • Fire fighting
  • Compressed air
  • Fresh and sanitary water
  • Air, sounding and overflow pipes

Delivered your wayPDF and DXF on your own title block, DEXPI when you need it, and the lists ready for Excel.

02 · Marine Flow Studio

We draw in software we built.

Marine Flow Studio is our P&ID program for ships: the drawing, its tags and lists, and the vessel model in one file, on your own PC. Every system we design is drawn in it, and your office can use it too.

The Vessel Model of MV FULMAR in Marine Flow Studio: decks, spaces and tanks in 3D, linked to the ship's P&IDs.

03 · P&ID digitization

From a scan to a drawing you can work in.

A P&ID that only survives as a PDF or a paper scan is redrawn in Marine Flow Studio: symbols from a library, lines with their numbers, and tags you can list and check.

The scanned Navy drawing: a ship's lube oil system with its deck filling, storage tank and two diesel generator engines, each with its cooler, attached pump, strainer and filter, hand-lettered on yellowed paper. The same system redrawn in Marine Flow Studio: library symbols, clean lines with their flow arrows, lube oil in orange and drains in indigo. SCAN MARINE FLOW STUDIO
The lube oil system of a U.S. Navy fleet oiler's diesel generators, a scan with no text or lines a program can read, redrawn in Marine Flow Studio: every valve, pump and line tagged, each fluid on its own layer.

What you get

  • The drawing as a Marine Flow Studio file, a PDF and a DXF
  • Line, valve, equipment and instrument lists, out of the drawing
  • Every symbol and tag checked by a marine engineer
  • DEXPI for your plant model, if you use one

How it works

  1. You send us one sheet.
  2. We redraw it free of charge, and quote the whole set.
  3. You get the set, sheet by sheet, each one checked.

Your drawings stay confidential: we work under your NDA and use them for your project only. When we use AI on a drawing, only the parts we mark go to Claude, Anthropic's AI, which does not train on them.

04 · Custom tools & AI

The tools your office is missing.

We write software for design offices and shipyards: tools that take the repetitive work off your engineers, and AI where it pays off.

READ

Drawings into data

Tags, notes and tables read out of PDF drawings, into lists you can check.

CHECK

Sets checked before they go

A drawing set compared with its lists and your own rules before it is sent to class.

LIBRARY

Catalogs as data

Makers' PDF catalogs turned into a library your engineers can search and link.

WRITE

The routine, written for you

Lists, reports and transmittals made from the data you already have.

How we work

Marine Flow Studio is our proof: Claude reads tags, notes and tables in it, and its lists say what each line still needs. We build tools like it for your office.

  1. We look at how your office works, and where the hours go.
  2. We build a first version on your own documents.
  3. You use it, and we improve it with you.
