The strength and breadth of our company comes from the experience, intelligence, lessons learned, and the discipline we have gained in over a hundred years of designing, building, and sustaining ships. The processes and tools we use today are an offspring of that journey. Our advisory services begin with the most elementary of products and processes and end with the most complex designed and built marine vessels in the world. HII provides advisory services at every level of the design and build process.
