Projects

From drawing board to deck.

A selection of projects showcasing MDO’s engineering expertise. Explore the concepts, calculations, 3D models and technical details behind each solution.

The projects presented here are just a fraction of our work. Every system is developed to meet specific operational requirements, with configurations tailored to the application, load case and regulatory framework.

3D model

Lifeboat davit

Hydraulic pivot

A hydraulically driven pivot davit that pivots the lifeboat from stowage to the lowering position in one controlled movement.
