NASDIS signed a framework agreement with GVAC Sweden - KBR to provide basic design and engineering services for floating structures (FPSO and Semi-submersible rigs). The current project is for Basic Design - 3D Modeling for 8 FPSO for Engevix Brazil.

NASDIS qualified to Saipem SpA Milano as Vendor for the entire range of commodities connected to basic design and engineering for floating structures (FPSO/FSO, Jack-up and Semi-submersible rigs). Two VLCC ISE (Initial Scantling Evaluation) studies were performed, one for the Campos field in Brazil and the other for the Block 15 field in Angola.

Topaz Engineering Adyard Abu Dhabi contracted NASDIS to provide the Basic, Class Design and Production Enginnering for a 67m, 80 T AHTS.

TGE Marine Gas Engineering Gmbh and NASDIS signed a contract for the Basic Design of a 12000 cbm Ethylene/LPG/VCM carrier .

NASDIS contracted the Complete Conceptual and Basic Design for 2 Convoy Vessels - A58 + C59 ADN (55m + 54m) x 9.5m - with Shipyard ATG Giurgiu.

TGE Marine Gas Engineering Gmbh and NASDIS signed a contract for the Basic Design of a 6500 cbm LPG carrier.

NASDIS is currently involved in the Conceptual Design and Class Documentation of a 10000 tons Floating Platform/Dock. The project is done for STX RO Offshore Tulcea and under approval with Bureau Veritas. The Floating Platform/Dock with controllable ballast is an integrative type, built up with a continuous bottom pontoon and partially extended side towers. The pontoon is divided in ballast tanks, void technical spaces for pumps, piping and two recesses to test the retractable thruster of a ship. Purpose: the transfer of the ships from the syncrolift to the platform and from the platform to the syncrolift, building a ship with up to 40,00m breath, mega blocks erection, launching/lifting and repairing ships.

Following a thorough audit process, NASDIS received from Bureau Veritas the certification of conformity with the ISO 9001:2008 standard. This acknowledged the compliance to the standard of the existing internal procedures, implemented since the start of the company.

The ship M/V "ER HAMBURG" was engaged in a head-on collision with a rock, North of Antikythira Island, resulting in severe deformation of the whole bow construction. Together with SNC ShipDesign, NASDIS was involved in the detailed design (Tribon model and workshop drawings) required for the renewal of almost the entire forward part.

A major contract was signed between NASDIS and Lindenau Shipyard for a 36000 dwt fruit-juice carrier, covering the classification design and the detailed design for the hull. NASDIS is providing Lindenau with the 3D ship model and a complete set of production information such as drawings, assembly drawings and cutting files. Final delivery of the design to Lindenau is at the end of May 2009. First cut of steel is planned for February 2009.

NASDIS has started the first local project in PDMS for Fincantieri, Italy - Scarabeo 8 deep water semi-submersible drilling rig.  The job involves the generation of piping production information for the double bottom and modeling of process modules. 

NASDIS has established a partnership with Kaefer Isoliertechnik GmbH, a major international company, specialized, among many other things, in turnkey, accommodation, HVAC and insulation services for shipbuilding. We have provided support for setting up a new design company in Galati, Kaefer Constructii Navale SRL, subsidiary of the a.m. group, and created the basis for future joint projects.

The first training course of PDMS took place in our office. PDMS is the leading design software system for offshore and by merging with Tribon will provide the most complete design package for both offshore and shipbuilding. NASDIS has comitted to be the first design company in Romania to implement and use PDMS for shipbuilding projects.

NASDIS has opened its new office of about 300 sqm in Galati. The office is fully functional, with the Tribon system implemented as the main design tool. There are currently 25 people, permanently employed.
