About
KNUD E. HANSEN was founded on 1 November 1937 by naval architect Knud E. Hansen as one of the first engineering companies in the world to specialise in ship design. Its main office moved from Copenhagen to Lundegaarden in Elsinore in 2009, and further offices have opened in London (2004), Odense (2008), and Perth, Fort Lauderdale and Tórshavn (2010). In 2017 it established Marine HVAC Design, a business unit dedicated to HVAC, and launched the ShipSpace virtual reality platform.
The company states that more than 800 vessels have been built to its designs, more than 500 hull lines have been developed and model tested, and more than 400 conversions have been carried out to its designs. Developments credited to it include the split stern/twin skeg hull for RoRo and RoPax vessels (1973), the Suction Bulbous Bow (1994), the train ferry Skåne (1994) and the turbine installation vessel Resolution (2001). Its designs have received several ShipPax Awards.
Its staff include naval architects, marine, mechanical, electrical and automation engineers and industrial designers.
