Currently, Sea Tech Group specializes in providing vessel exterior design, engineering, and consulting services for the shipbuilding industry. The group develops production design and lofting documentation for various vessel types, while continuing to develop and distribute domestic shipbuilding CAD software.

The Group of Companies includes: Sea Tech Ltd, Seatech Design Bureau, Marine Design Studio, Yacht Academy, as well as the Gorodets and St. Petersburg branches.

CEO: Petr Ezhov

A commitment to 3D technology has remained the cornerstone of Sea Tech's operations since its founding. Initially, the company focused on two core business areas: developing shipbuilding software and providing engineering services based on that software. This led to the creation of several CAD systems: Sea Solution (Shape Maker), Sea Hydro, K3-Ship, and Up-Nest.

Today, this software suite has evolved into a multi-user, geographically distributed system. it is designed for hull surface modeling, production design for shell plating, structural strength and hydrostatics calculations, and modeling of ship structures and equipment. It also covers piping routing, the generation of workshop drawings (production documentation), technical data sheets, various bills of materials, and nesting plans for plate parts.

Currently, the Sea Solution / Shape Maker system offers some of the most efficient tools for creating and modifying hull surfaces. Its module for shell plating expansion and generating manufacturing data remains one of the most accurate in the world.

In 2012, a long-term agreement was signed with Numeriek Centrum Groningen BV to cooperate and promote Nupas-CADMATIC (now Cadmatic Marine Solution) in the Russian market. Sea Tech made a strategic decision to integrate Cadmatic 3D modeling into its design processes, primarily for detailed engineering (workshop documentation). Hull surfaces and equipment modeled in Shape Maker and K3-Ship can be seamlessly transferred into Cadmatic Marine Solution.

According to development plans, a new version of the Piping module will be completed by the end of 2025, making the K3-Ship system a full-fledged alternative to imported CAD software.

All new software versions undergo rigorous industrial testing to ensure high quality and meet user requirements. The systems have no limitations regarding vessel size, number of parts, or surface complexity.

Our specialists utilize:
•  SeaSolution / ShapeMaker — for surface modeling and shell plating development;
•  SeaHydro — for ship hydrostatics and stability calculations;
•  EqBrus, RodsFEM — for strength calculations;
•  Up-Nest — for nesting plans and metal cutting optimization software;
•  K3-Ship — for hull modeling, foundations, equipment layout, and piping routing;
•  OpenFOAM — for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations;
•  Code_Aster, Lira, ISPA — for Finite Element Method (FEM) strength calculations.

This integrated software suite provides a comprehensive solution for numerical simulation, fluid dynamics, structural strength, and general vessel layout. For specific components requiring machining — such as rudders, propeller shafts, and hydrofoils — KOMPAS 3D is utilized.

The company has established itself as a modern design bureau, where its greatest asset is a cohesive team of specialists. Seatech Design Bureau specializes in delivering high-quality production design documentation (workshop drawings) for both Russian and international markets in Russian or English.

Seatech DB is the largest division of the group, with branches and partners in Nizhny Novgorod, Gorodets, St. Petersburg, and Irkutsk (Russia); Gomel and Minsk (Belarus); Cape Town (South Africa); Gdansk (Poland); Stavanger (Norway); Istanbul and Antalya (Turkey); Ruse (Bulgaria); Baku (Azerbaijan); and Rostock (Germany).

Our production design packages are developed based on both our own classification (basic) designs and designs from other naval architectural firms. Documentation is tailored to the requirements of specific shipyards and internal corporate standards, in full compliance with the rules of RKO (formerly RRR), RS, and other major classification societies.Documentation is developed to meet the requirements of a specific shipyard on the basis of its own proprietary standards in accordance with the Rules of RKO (formerly RRR), RS and other classification societies.

Seatech DB provides a complete suite of production and operational documentation required for shipyard assembly, sea trials, and vessel delivery. All projects utilize 3D modeling, advanced digital processing technologies, and virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR). We extensively collaborate with partner organizations and equipment suppliers under a unified project management ideology.

Our involvement in vessel creation is flexible — ranging from initial concepts and preliminary designs to full production design packages, production management, and on-site engineering support during construction.

In 2004, the Sea Style design studio was founded as part of the Sea Tech Group. Since 2019, the studio operates under the name Marine Design Studio.

The launch of the design studio allowed us to move from the primary production of workshop documentation to comprehensive, full-scale design, starting with conceptual and preliminary designs.

Today, the Studio’s services include:

• Development of exterior and interior design projects,

• Fundamental layout and general arrangement of vessels,

• Advertising design, including modeling and artistic visualization.

The Studio sets the tone and overall style of the vessel at the concept stage and continues its involvement throughout all subsequent development phases.

Exterior design projects from the Studio have received recognition both in Russia and abroad, winning prestigious competitions:

- Boatbuilding Project Contest at The 1st Yachts & Small Boat Building Forum, Tolyatti, 2013;

- EPDA (European Product Design Award), Budapest, 2020 and 2021.

The studio collaborates with world-renowned design stars, including Rene van der Velden, SABDES Yacht Design, Ken Freivokh, etc.

In 2021, the company New Shipyard was reorganized and joined the Sea Tech Group under the name Yacht Academy. The company was established to consolidate internal and partner expertise in the creation of pleasure boats and motor yachts across various price segments. The Academy not only designs but also provides a full range of services throughout the vessel's entire life cycle — from initial concept to final implementation.

Yacht Academy cooperates with renowned firms such as SABDES Design, Ken Freivokh Design, Ezbeci Marine, Naval Studio, Mayra Yachts, and others.

One of the popular business areas of the Academy is the offer of ready-made projects for pleasure boats and yachts up to 20m. A huge role is played by business partners with production resources: the Olymp shipbuilding company, ZNT Yard, Oka Shipyard (Russia), foreign shipyards that help in the implementation of yacht projects.

Over the years, Yacht Academy (formerly New Shipyard) has designed and refitted more than 60 yachts and vessels, accumulating significant experience in delivering projects for both Russian and international clients.
