STREAMLINED SYMVOULI MECHANIKI EPE

Their core work

Based in Perama — Greece's historic shipbuilding hub near Piraeus — Streamlined Naval Architects is a specialist engineering SME focused on the design and analysis of floating marine structures. Their H2020 work centers on a single well-defined product: a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) floating meteorological mast for offshore wind resource assessment, combining cup anemometer and lidar measurement systems. They bring naval architecture expertise — hull design, mooring systems, structural analysis — to the offshore renewable energy sector. Their commercial proposition is cost reduction for offshore wind developers who currently rely on expensive fixed-bottom met masts or costly vessel-based surveys.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both H2020 projects address the same core product — a floating TLP met mast — so the evolution here is one of development stage rather than topic shift. FLOATMAST (2015) was an SME Instrument Phase 1 feasibility study, likely validating technical concept and market opportunity. FloatMastBlue (2017–2021) was the Phase 2 full development project, with nearly €1M in EC funding to bring the product to market. No keyword data is available to detect finer thematic shifts, but the trajectory is clear: a single-minded progression from idea validation to product development within offshore wind instrumentation.

This organization followed the classic SME Instrument path from feasibility to full development on one focused product; future collaboration potential is highest for offshore wind developers, floating structure projects, or marine technology consortia needing naval architecture input.

How they like to work

Streamlined Naval Architects has participated exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator — consistent with a specialist SME that brings a defined technical capability rather than project management capacity. Their consortia are very small (2 unique partners across both projects), suggesting they work in tight, focused teams rather than large multi-partner configurations. This profile fits a company that functions best as a technical subcontractor or specialist contributor within a larger offshore energy or marine engineering consortium.

Their H2020 network is minimal — just 2 unique partners across 2 countries — indicating a narrow but potentially deep collaboration with a small set of partners. No evidence of broad European networking; their connections appear project-specific rather than systemic.

What sets them apart

Streamlined Naval Architects occupies a rare intersection: classical naval architecture applied specifically to offshore wind instrumentation infrastructure, a niche with few dedicated players. Located in Perama — a shipbuilding district with deep marine engineering tradition — they likely have access to fabrication networks and marine testing facilities that pure energy-sector firms lack. For a consortium needing someone who can translate offshore wind requirements into buildable floating structures, this organization offers a very specific and hard-to-substitute capability.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FloatMastBlue
  The flagship project — nearly €1M in EC Phase 2 SME Instrument funding — representing full product development of a cost-reducing floating met mast for offshore wind, running four years from 2017 to 2021.
• FLOATMAST
  The Phase 1 feasibility predecessor that established the TLP met mast concept and secured market validation, directly leading to the larger FloatMastBlue grant.
