About Us

NAVPROJECT is a company established in May 2015 in Rijeka, specializing in providing outstanding engineering services in shipbuilding.

Detail design for ship systems and HVAC is our primary product, which we create using specialized 3D tools tailored to the needs of our clients. Additionally, we provide team leadership services, project management, and engineering support during production and installation.

Our team consists of nine employees, primarily mechanical engineers. We are a balanced team, with an equal mix of experienced engineers—some with over twenty years of professional experience—and younger members who are just starting their careers. When working on projects, we focus on customer satisfaction. We strive to ensure the high quality of our products and services, complete tasks within the planned timeframes, and maintain pleasant and productive communication with all project participants.

We are located in Rijeka, a port city in the northern Adriatic, in the Kvarner Bay, with a rich shipbuilding and maritime tradition. Rijeka is home to schools and universities that educate professionals for design offices and shipyards, like our employees, as well as future seafarers. The advantages of such an environment have also been recognized by companies from Western Europe, which have established branches of their design offices and shipyards in Rijeka. The mentality of Rijeka’s residents as a port city has been shaped by five centuries of rule under the Habsburgs, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy, making the city a desirable partner for collaboration.

As a company, we are ambitious—by participating in projects, we expand our knowledge, build on our experience, and broaden the range of products and services we offer, which also enables us to expand our team.

We are confident that many more successful projects lie ahead of us!

Services

We provide engineering services in the field of shipbuilding, with our products being 3D models and drawings. We also offer on-site services at the client’s location, where business travel is a routine part of our operations.

Core Services and Products:
  • Creation of 3D models, detail, and assembly drawings for ship and HVAC systems.
  • Development of 3D models of steel structures for ship systems and equipment, along with corresponding drawings.
  • Preparation of material lists and data entry into specialized tools (MARS, SAP).
  • Pre-coordination of technical solutions using 3D models.
  • Project and team management in documentation development.
  • Engineering support on-site during the production and installation of ship systems.
  • Assistance in the preparation of basic design documentation for mechanical systems.
  • Defining the placement of ship equipment and creating room arrangement drawings.

Depending on project needs, in addition to our core services, we can also provide other engineering services.

Recently, we have been using 3D tools such as CADMATIC and AVEVA, but we are open to utilizing other tools and quickly adapt to them as needed.

References

Since 2015, we have been continuously expanding our list of reference projects. Along the way, we have had the honor of collaborating on projects with shipowners whose names are recognized worldwide.

Meyer Group

Since January 2017, we have been continuously involved in passenger ship projects for the Meyer Werft Group. Our tasks primarily include creating 3D models and detail design for ship systems and HVAC in the machinery and hotel areas. We also contribute to the development of basic design for specific mechanical systems, pre-coordination, definition of the placement of ship equipment, and the creation of room arrangement drawings.

HAV Design

Our first project was a ferry for a domestic shipowner, Rapska plovidba. Our role included managing the project for the development of detail design for the hull and ship systems, as well as mediating in the contracting of this documentation.

In addition to the aforementioned projects, the experience our engineers have previously gained by participating in projects for various types of vessels further enhances our list of reference projects.

The company founder, a mechanical engineer, is also actively involved in the engineering aspects of the work. With over twenty years of professional experience in shipbuilding, gained through various positions and roles, he actively contributes to solving project challenges. His experience includes working in domestic and international design offices and shipyards in Norway, Spain, and Italy, on projects involving offshore vessels, fishing vessels, and gas platforms.

Careers

Our employees are the company’s greatest asset.

Since the company’s inception, we have prioritized building an open and collegial atmosphere with our employees, inspiring them to build similar relationships among themselves, support one another, and share their experience and knowledge. We believe this approach creates a positive environment that enables employees to navigate job challenges more effectively, whether caused by technical or human factors, or the time constraints of projects.

We are an ambitious company that progresses through the continuous expansion of knowledge, experience, and workload, as well as active and frequent participation in projects. At the same time, we aim to broaden the range of services and products we offer. Such an approach to business requires diligent individuals with an engineering focus, preferably in the fields of mechanical engineering, naval architecture, electrical engineering, architecture, and civil engineering.
