What Sirius Design & Integration AS does

Sirius Design & Integration AS is an independent ship design and system integration firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in Ålesund, Norway. The company delivers concept, basic, and detail naval architecture design alongside machinery, propulsion, and electrical system integration for newbuild and conversion projects. Its 11-person team carries 30+ years of cumulative experience and has been responsible for more than 250 vessels across prior careers, operating across five end-markets: Fishery, Merchant, Energy Wind, Energy Oil & Gas, and Aquaculture.

The firm pursues an asset-light, project-based business model, generating revenue through design contracts and system integration mandates from vessel owners and shipyards. Notable engagements include the Aurora Series platform developed with FMV, the NextGen Pelagic Trawler concept (2023), the NextGen CSOV concept for offshore wind (2022), delivery of the FSV Scotia service vessel to Mowi Scotland (2025), a hybrid AWH vessel for FDA to be built by Zamakona Bilbao (2026), and a longline vessel for Faroe Islands operator P/F Regn (2026). Sirius also markets proprietary concept designs such as a zero-emission AWH 28.

The customer base is international and concentrated, with named counterparties in Norway, the Faroe Islands, the UK, and Spain. Distribution is anchored in the Ålesund maritime cluster, with go-to-market driven by direct relationships with owners and yards and by concept design visibility. Pricing follows standard professional services engineering rates, with each vessel contract functioning as a discrete, high-value engagement rather than recurring subscription revenue.

Direct peers

• Skarpenord AS: Norwegian naval architecture and ship design consultancy focused on offshore and specialized vessels. Comparable small-team independent design model serving offshore wind and oil & gas clients.
• Salt Ship Design: Independent Norwegian ship design house specializing in offshore wind service vessels, offshore oil & gas, and fishery vessels. Closest direct peer to Sirius given shared independence from yards, similar segment focus (offshore wind, fishery), and comparable size band in Norway.
• BAUM Consult (maritime design): Independent German maritime design and engineering consultancy serving offshore wind, special vessels, and aquaculture. Comparable independent design model with segment overlap in offshore wind and aquaculture.
• Oceanteam Design & Solutions: Independent Norwegian naval architecture and ship design firm offering concept, basic, and detailed design across offshore wind, oil & gas, and aquaculture segments. Closely comparable to Sirius in segment breadth and independent positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Vard Design: Design arm of VARD (a Fincantieri company), one of the largest global shipbuilders of offshore and specialized vessels. Competes with Sirius across offshore wind SOVs/CSOVs, aquaculture service vessels, and fishery segments, with deep in-house naval architecture capacity and global shipyard footprint.
• Wärtsilä Marine (船舶设计服务): Global marine technology supplier offering ship design services, hybrid propulsion systems, and battery energy storage solutions. Adjacent incumbent to Sirius given the firm's focus on hybrid diesel-electric, battery storage, and integrated propulsion system design.
• Ulstein Design & Solutions: Part of the Ulstein Group, a major Norwegian ship design and shipbuilding conglomerate. It offers independent ship design and equipment packages for offshore wind, oil & gas, and fishery vessels — directly competing with Sirius in offshore wind vessel design (SOVs, CSOVs, AHTS) and aquaculture, but at significantly larger scale and with yard-affiliated execution.
• KNUD E. HANSEN Naval Architects: Danish-headquartered independent naval architecture firm with global reach across cruise, offshore, fishery, and navy segments. Larger and more diversified than Sirius but offers comparable independent design services across overlapping vessel categories.

Regional players

• Solstad Offshore (Design arm): Norwegian offshore vessel owner with in-house design capability for AHTS, CSV, and PSV classes serving oil & gas and offshore wind. Not a pure design house but a meaningful comparable given their overlap with Sirius's oil & gas / offshore wind vessel categories.

Others

• Aibel AS: Major Norwegian engineering and construction firm serving offshore oil & gas and offshore wind. Comparable as a Norwegian maritime engineering player with offshore wind exposure, though it operates more as EPC contractor than pure ship designer.
