PRESS RELEASE: OSK Design prepares for projects ahead – Naval Architect Carsten Ortloff joins OSK

With a series of prestigious RoRo and RoPax projects lined up in the not so distant future, Danish naval architects OSK Design are ramping up the naval architect and project management department adding a very experienced naval architect with more than 18 years of design experience.

German Naval Architect Carsten Ortloff will join OSK Design 1 February 2018. He is a through and through ‘ferry man’, creating his very first ferry designs when he was only a boy. He holds a diploma in naval architecture, and since the start of his career in 2000, his main focus has been concept designs and the desire to always find the optimum design solution for the customer’s transportation task.

Carsten comes from Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, where he has held the role of responsible naval architect for several RoRo projects and a large number of RoPax projects. Among others, he has been in charge of general arrangements, concept designs, etc. for owners like Smyril Line, BC Ferries, Irish Ferries and CMAL/Caledonian MacBrayne to name a few.

‘We are extremely happy to have Carsten on-board,’ says CEO of OSK Design, Jacob Thygesen. And continues: ‘He is a fantastic addition to our team of naval architects and marine engineers. We are quite optimistic about our order pipeline in the months to come and it makes sense for us to add further capacity to our design team.’

The general order increase is spilling over to sister company Steen Friis Design A/S, who is experiencing high demand for interior design services and interior concepts. ‘We currently have a job advertising out looking to hire an interior designer slash architect, so we will be further strengthening our capacity in ship interiors also,’ says Jacob Thygesen.

For further information, please contact CEO of OSK Design, Jacob H. Thygesen.
