Macduff Ship Design Announces New South-West England branch
Macduff Ship Design is delighted to announce the opening of our first branch, located in the South-West of England, further strengthening its commitment to supporting owners and operators of small commercial vessels across the UK.
Following several months of planning and preparation, the company can confirm that it will establish a permanently staffed office in Devon. The new location will enable Macduff Ship Design to work more closely with clients, including fishing vessel owners, workboat operators, and other small commercial vessel operators, throughout the South-West and further afield through England and Wales.
Scheduled to open in early 2027, the branch will provide a comprehensive range of naval architectural services, with close support from the main office in Macduff, including:
- Stability assessments and regulatory support
- Vessel conversion and modification assistance
- New vessel design and development
- General naval architecture consultancy services
The expansion reflects Macduff Ship Design’s ongoing commitment to delivering practical, professional, and locally accessible support to vessel owners and operators throughout the UK.
“We are excited to establish a permanent presence in the South-West and look forward to supporting both existing and new clients in the region. The new branch will enhance our ability to provide responsive, hands-on support for the fishing and commercial marine sectors.” Ian Ellis managing director Macduff Ship Design.
Further details regarding the services, team members and contact information will be announced in early 2027 following the official opening.
