Stasiun Teknik, a newly created design office from Batam (Riau, Indonesia), selected FORAN as its main design tool for marine consultancy. The engineers and designers have been previously involved in ship design from other companies, and their knowledge allows Stasiun Teknik to successfully accomplish the design from a large variety of ship types and scopes of supply. Their capability covers from initial to production design, and includes steel structure, outfitting and machinery, HVAC, auxiliary structures and electrical design. FORAN System in its latest release, the V70R2.0, guarantees that the designers knowledge is properly applied to the single 3D model database, allowing the critical coordination among all the disciplines within the ship.
