Technology Overview

Navatek is at the forefront of innovative hull form technology. We continue to explore and develop new concepts in our advanced research programs in hydrodynamics, underwater lifting bodies and drag reduction. Through our research and development efforts, we have acquired knowledge and intellectual property in a number of inter-related areas that have valuable applications. The company holds multiple U.S. and international patents on its technologies.

  • Specialized and hybrid hull forms
  • CFD hull optimization
  • Drag reduction
  • Integrated propulsion systems
  • Underwater lifting bodies
  • Automatic ride control systems
When applied appropriately, our technology provides valuable benefits to many vessel applications and is relevant to both monohulls and multi-hull vessels. Navatek has a track record of successfully validating its research and concepts with large scale prototypes at sea. Navatek’s technology prototypes have demonstrated the following benefits of our technology:
  • Better motions, seakeeping, sea kindliness
  • Increased range and payloads
  • Reduced power requirements and emissions output
  • Higher speeds in a seaway
  • Reduced wake wash
