2016 has been another exciting year for Steller Systems and Steller Yachts, which has welcomed a number of major new customers whilst continuing to support valued long-term customers. Our work this year has taken us to Thailand, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, Monaco and the Falkland Islands, and our designs have been featured in publications including Yacht and Boating World, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Mail. Our team of naval architects, structural and systems engineers has continued to grow in 2016, and we will be welcoming new staff to the team in the new year to meet the growing demand for our services.
Steller Systems would like to wish all of our customers, suppliers, partners and supporters a very merry Christmas and a prosperous 2017.

Steller Systems Ltd. welcomes Sir John Parker’s independent report to inform the UK National Shipbuilding Strategy. We agree with the findings, especially that a “sea change” is needed in naval procurement. We support the need for a “modern and innovative design” for the Type 31e, and we have designed Project Spartan, our design for a light frigate, to meet that challenge. We have also designed this General Purpose Frigate (GPFF) contender with configurability, modularity and thus affordability in mind, whilst designing for the future with a good electrical power margin, a large hangar and a stern garage for unmanned vehicles.
We look forward to working with other UK-based companies to provide the best solution to meet the needs of the Royal Navy and the export market, to the economic advantage of the UK. As the strategy states, the Type 31e needs to be “rapidly procured” and Steller Systems stands ready to deliver.
Project Spartan – Steller Systems’ Design for General Purpose Frigate (GPFF)
Friday, November 25th, 2016
Steller Systems Ltd. is excited to announce Project Spartan – an innovative design for a configurable, modular, survivable, affordable and exportable ship that will meet the Royal Navy’s current and future requirements for a General Purpose Frigate (GPFF). Our innovative solution includes a reconfigurable aft mission space with ramp access to embark Unmanned Vehicles (UXVs), sufficient power generation to accommodate systems growth over the next 30 years, and survivability designed in from the outset through the configuration of the vessel rather than relying on complex systems for this purpose. Our underlying focus on exportability has produced an affordable design solution that will support the UK shipbuilding and defence systems industries and, in turn, will enable the Royal Navy to build fleet numbers.
Spartan is a highly configurable design that meets many navies’ needs now and in the future. The Royal Navy will benefit from a survivable and highly capable ship that will be the backbone of the fleet for many years. Ensuring that the design remains attractive to the global export market will bring economic advantages to the Royal Navy through efficiencies of scale, and will result in wider benefits to UK plc.

Steller Systems has been awarded a major 3½-year contract by Thales to provide stability and structural support for the modernisation of the Royal Thai Navy’s Bang Rachan Class Minehunters.
The upgrades to the HTMS Bang Rachan and HTMS Nong Sarai vessels include the fitment of a new state-of-the-art sonar and other systems, as well as repairs and general modernisation in order to extend their operational life by over 15 years.
Steller Systems’ structures team has conducted surveys of the vessels and is currently completing detailed FEA assessments for the installation of new systems.
Meanwhile the stability team is producing stability models of the vessels, to enable the management of stability of the vessel throughout the upgrade programme and to develop Stability Information Books providing guidance to the masters. In support of our stability analysis Steller Systems will be conducting a number of inclining experiments and deadweight surveys to understand the ships’ lightship post-upgrade and to ensure compliance with design standards.
Completion of this work in 2019 will ensure that these vessels remain fit for purpose for the Royal Thai Navy.
