Powering Prediction & Tank Testing

When it comes to determining whether a vessel will truly deliver on its promises, there’s no substitute for getting it in the water. Well, technically speaking, getting a precisely scaled version of it in the water. Because in the world of ship design, testing isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about unlocking the secrets of how steel meets sea.

Making Waves in Maritime Performance

Every vessel tells a story through its movement in water. We decode that narrative using a blend of cutting-edge numerical analysis and time-tested physical scale model testing. Think of it as giving your design both a rigorous mathematical examination and a real-world driving test.

Hull efficiency isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the difference between a vessel that exceeds expectations and one that disappoints stakeholders and balance sheets alike. That’s where our expertise transforms theoretical designs into validated, optimised reality.

How Morson Praxis Delivers Results

Our approach combines the precision of numerical prediction with the reliability of physical validation:

Numerical Mastery

We conduct comprehensive analysis of proposed hull forms, diving deep into the mathematics that govern maritime performance. Our numerical optimisation doesn’t just predict performance—it enhances it.

Global Collaboration

We partner with leading towing tanks worldwide, ensuring your scale model testing meets the highest international standards. Distance is no barrier when precision is the priority.

Validation That Counts

Scale model testing provides the crucial bridge between design theory and operational reality. We ensure your powering predictions aren’t just educated guesses—they’re validated certainties.

Our Comprehensive Capabilities

3D Hull Modelling & Fairing

Transforming concepts into mathematically precise, hydrodynamically optimised forms that perform as beautifully as they appear.

Powering & Performance Numerical Prediction

Leveraging advanced computational methods to forecast how your vessel will behave before it ever touches water.

Performance Optimisation

Because good enough isn’t good enough. We fine-tune designs to extract every ounce of efficiency and performance.

Scale Model Testing & Validation

Real-world testing that confirms predictions and reveals insights that numbers alone cannot provide.


Why This Matters

At Morson Praxis, we don't just predict performance - we prove it.

In an industry where marginal gains translate to significant operational advantages, precision in powering predictions isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Whether you’re designing the next generation of commercial vessels or pushing the boundaries of maritime innovation, understanding exactly how your creation will perform gives you the confidence to move forward with certainty.
