VESSEL DESIGN EXPERTISE
From operating requirement to working vessel.
Since 2007, Marine House has designed a diverse range of inland, coastal and seagoing vessels for commercial, government and specialized operations.
Every project begins with the intended mission. We evaluate route, water depth, draft, cargo or payload, speed, endurance, manoeuvrability, propulsion, crew requirements, safety, regulatory compliance and lifecycle cost before defining the vessel.
Our multidisciplinary team coordinates naval architecture, structure, machinery, piping, electrical systems and class requirements into one practical, approval-ready and buildable package.

OUR VESSEL PORTFOLIO
Experience across the fleet.
Purpose-built platforms for cargo, port, infrastructure, research, passenger and specialized operations.
Coastal Cargo Ships
Robust, efficient vessels designed for coastal service and port limitations.
Container Vessels
Route-specific capacity, stability and cargo-handling arrangements.
High-Speed Craft
Lightweight, performance-led designs for passenger and operational missions.
Tugboats
Harbour, terminal and utility tugs developed around bollard pull and manoeuvrability.
Utility Vessels
Flexible work platforms for port, offshore and support operations.
Dredgers
Dredging platforms matched to soil, depth, production and disposal requirements.
Dumb Barges
Cost-effective transport solutions for inland and coastal cargo movement.
Deck-Cargo Barges
Heavy-duty decks for project cargo, blocks, equipment and marine construction.
Research Vessels
Integrated platforms for hydrographic, oceanographic and scientific missions.
Special-Purpose Vessels
Mission-specific solutions beyond standard vessel categories.
Workboats & Pontoons
Practical platforms for service, access, transfer and floating infrastructure.
SHALLOW-WATER SPECIALIZATION
More capability from less draft.
Bangladesh’s rivers, coastal routes and low-draft ports demand a different design discipline. Marine House develops shallow-draft vessels that balance minimum operating draft with cargo capacity, intact and damage stability, structural strength, propulsion efficiency and manoeuvrability.
Our ambition is to establish Marine House as a global leader in shallow-water vessel design through real operating knowledge, disciplined analysis and international engineering standards.
