Bringing on these talented young professionals increases our capacity to handle our current jobs and the new assignments we anticipate in the coming months. Presently our design teams are focused on a seagoing 1000-ton heavy lift A-frame crane, fleet support for several offshore service companies, and ShipConstructor structural modeling and lofting of a floating levee gate among other commercial projects. In addition to our design and production work, we will also expand our damage stability plan writing and response services this year.”
