Hoppe is a family owned group of companies with global presence and activities focused and dedicated to the maritime market. Passion for Technology has been the key of success in seven decades of permanent motivation to deliver customer-oriented products and services.

 

Starting with the business idea to deliver precise instruments and measuring equipment for seagoing vessels Hoppe Bordmesstechnik was founded in 1949 by the German engineer Hans Hugo Karl Hoppe. After 35 years characterized by many technical inventions and patents for on board measuring systems his colleague Jürgen Haas took over the company. Four years later Helmut Rohde joined the company and finally acquired the remaining shares in 1997.

 

Besides many years of organic growth, the Rohde family invested in further maritime markets to follow the globalization of the shipbuilding business. In 1997, Hoppe Korea was established, followed by Hoppe China in 2010, and Hoppe Singapore in 2017. In parallel, strategic investments where taken with the acquisitions of Meramont Automatyka (Poland), MAIHAK Marine (Germany), Flume Stabilization (USA) and INTERING ship stabilization systems (Germany). Combined with many new inventions and patents the fully independent family owned company has established a leading position in several maritime business areas.

 

The Passion for Technology is still unbroken and remains dedicated to quality, accuracy and reliability. In-house engineers design all Hoppe products in Germany with the full technical control over the portfolio. For shipyards, ship owners, ship managers, ship operators and ship designers Hoppe is well known in the market as reliable long-term partner that combines decades of engineering know how, sustainable on board experiences with continuous development of new technologies and innovations.

International Transport Intermediaries Club Ltd. (ITIC), is a mutual insurance company with over 80 years of experience of providing professional indemnity insurance to companies involved in the transport industry. Naval architects bring together many skills in the delivery of an extremely high profile service. The stakes are often extremely high, which means that the downside can be disastrously low if mistakes creep in.

Human error can happen, and when it does the claims can be expensive. ITIC has covered claims against naval architects arising from such errors as:

• Inadequate welding design causing ships to crack;
• Yacht design that leads to cracks in the hull as a result of an error in transposing the design specifications onto the blueprint drawings;
• Erroneous conceptual design, inadequate preparation of technical specifications, design approval incorrectly given.

You don't have to make a mistake to be sued. As a naval architect, you could receive a claim from the owners of a vessel you worked on even if you were not negligent in your design. One of the functions of ITIC insurance is the cover of defence costs, which can be extremely high. ITIC's claims team has a wide knowledge of claims made against naval architects.

• Test bed facilities for marine engines
• Research vessel "Princess Royal"

Specialist Craft Naval Architects

Vectis Marine Design was established in 2008 as an independent marine consultancy specialising in the design of military and professional small craft up to around 35m.

We specialise in the design of military, coast guard, police, customs, rescue and other specialist craft for military authorities, government agencies and professional operators.  These craft are typically to meet complex and challenging operational requirements with demanding speed, range and payload requirements often combined with weight, dimension and other constraints.

We offer the full range of naval architecture, engineering, design and trials services including structural design in aluminium (with build kits), GRP and advanced composites.  We also have an established in-house FEA capability.

All of our work is to Classification Society, or other recognised, standards including DNV, BV, LR, MCA, ISO and SOLAS as well as military standards.

We are familiar with the integration of specialist military payloads including weapon systems and sensors, ballistic protection and navigation and communication systems, and in the deployment of small craft from larger vessels, and in their transport by and deployment from military aircraft.

In addition to our engineering and design capability we also provide project management, documentation, and tender preparation services.

Our clients include military and professional boat builders, defence prime contractors and boat operators.

 

The marine industry can be difficult to navigate with many competing interests to manage and even more companies offering relevant services. When looking for a reliable partner to help you with your marine project Voe Marine will respond to the challenge.
