NAVTEK Naval Technologies

NAVTEK Naval Technologies, part of Kıran Holding, is a pioneer in advanced maritime engineering and vessel design. Since its founding in 1999, NAVTEK has built a reputation for delivering innovative, high-performance solutions to both defense and commercial sectors.

From its headquarters at ‘Teknopark Istanbul,’ which provides state-of-the-art facilities and value-added services only to select companies and institutions engaged in sophisticated design, engineering, and R&D, the company has led many groundbreaking projects.

These included the world’s first floating power plants, along with the most cutting-edge naval and offshore vessels.

The company’s portfolio includes complex defense ships such as the Turkish Navy’s flagship landing vessel and advanced landing craft for the TCG Anadolu (L-400). NAVTEK also designed the VIRAZON II, the world’s first purpose-built archaeological research vessel.

In sustainable shipbuilding, NAVTEK is recognized for creating the ZEETUG series—the first fully electric, zero-emission tugboats—now in active operation in Türkiye’s busy Tuzla Shipyard area.

Pioneers in Advanced Maritime Design and Engineering

NAVTEK’s scope covers vessel design, engineering, construction management, and integration of alternative propulsion systems. Their engineering teams handle full-spectrum services, including hydrodynamic analysis, structural design, stability assessments, and offshore structure development.

NAVTEK also leads environmental innovation, developing zero-emission port solutions and advanced oil recovery vessels for combating marine pollution.

Intel Marine works closely with NAVTEK to provide clients with advanced, custom-built vessels that integrate next-generation technologies. This collaboration enables us to offer customers unmatched design precision, sustainable propulsion options, and the ability to meet demanding naval and commercial performance requirements.

NAVTEK’s forward-looking approach and proven execution align perfectly with Intel Marine’s mission of delivering world-class maritime solutions.
