MDS provides multi-disciplinary marine engineering  and design services for a range of vessel types. Having project experience with fiberglass yachts to steel ships is what sets us apart from most. We also understand that much of the final product of engineering is communicated through drawings, which is why we are experts at producing them. All of our engineering and design work can be communicated through traditional 2D drawings and schematics or by modern 3D design and modeling.
