Since 1988, Donald L. Blount and Associates, Inc (DLBA) has been involved with the design development of hull forms,
propulsion system installations, auxiliary systems and structural design in accordance with classification society
requirements. The design efforts range from conceptual and preliminary design, contract design, through detailed
construction design packages for both new construction and vessel refit projects. This includes acting as the
customer’s technical authority as they take new and refit projects to shipyards, and supporting shipyards’ production
engineering needs for such projects. DLBA supports engineering contracts worldwide to a wide customer base. DLBA
maintains technical responsibility for fleets of vessels allowing rapid response to client repair, logistic, and
classification needs. This level of support also allows DLBA to support modernization and fleet commonality
configuration control.
The first hand historical experience DLBA has including extensive experience in the use of design and engineering
software that it has used in meeting the needs of demanding clients of boat companies, military/commercial projects,
motor yachts and repair and refit yards, makes DLBA well suited to meet the SeaPort-e Statement of Work (SOW)
