We, The TTSP-ians

By: Vance Madelo    The Tsuneishi Technical Services Philippines, Inc. (TTSP) detail designing activities of ship’s piping systems generally cover essential piping systems such as the ship’s fixed fire extinguishing systems and water/fire extinguishing systems for most type of ships. However, the bulk of its piping detail design activities are applied in merchant vessels, particularly, but not limited to piping systems of machinery, hull, deck, interior and accommodation sections of Tankers and Bulk carriers. The general piping design service of TTSP comprises the groups under which, are teams with specific design specializations under the broader scope of a ship’s general piping systems.

By: Vance Madelo What many people know about TTSP is that we design ships at the detail production level. That is, we draw design plans for the inner, more intricate structures of a ship including but not limited to piping, electrical systems, machinery outfitting, cutting plans, interior accommodation, hatch cover and painting, internal finishing and completion touches among others. The majority of the detail-designing tasks are usually for ship owners that are also customers from our mother company in Japan, the Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Company as well as the Tsuneishi Heavy Industries in Cebu, Balamban, Philippines. However, TTSP also accept subcontracting services for non-captive markets locally and globally through its ancillary section, CAD Engineering Services Subcontracting Department (CESSD) . We have designing projects other than our own (Tsuneishi vessels) that involved 3D modeling and 2D detailing using licensed designing softwares to include CADMATIC, BricsCAD, Auto...

By: Vance Madelo The Tsuneishi group, with Tsuneishi Technical Services Philippines (Inc.) being one of the group's affiliates, is responsibly designing and building ships that are in strict compliance of the standards set forth by the ClassNK, a ship classification society that ensures safety of life and property at sea, as well as prevention of pollution to the marine environment. That said, Tsuneishi-made vessels are aptly considered safe for the health of both environment and the crews who operate within the confines of these ships. The TTSP Design Engineers and staffs are constantly informed of the current ClassNK code updates to orient them of the latest developments in the shipbuilding industry guidelines. ClassNk facilitators came over to the TTSP last June 20, 2017 to conduct explanatory meeting of these codes which included the following topics and corresponding sub-topics: 1. Enforcement for Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention • Outline of the convention...

By: Vance Madelo Working in TTSP as a technical design staff, or that which work specifically as Design Engineer, Design Specialist or Design Technician will present an employee a chance to travel to Japan and work there in one of the offices of Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Company . It is a yearly regular dispatch program of TTSP for all technical employees to experience the Japanese work culture, exchange technical skills and assimilate these into both parties' local ship designing and building silos. After about a year or two of tenure in TTSP, an employee get this chance to be dispatched for either six months, one year, or three months to Japan. They are being selected from different design teams across TTSP on a rotation basis handpicked by their managers. Good performers usually get the first chance than the others. They travel by batch of 30's to 50's. All travel expenses are paid for by the company (TTSP) and salaries are also paid them by their Japanese employers ...

By: Vance Madelo Situated at the northwestern part of Cebu province and with a pool of engineering and drafting professionals in its employ, Tsuneishi Technical Services, Phils. is the chief ship designer in the Philippines. It has steadily been growing from a humble beginning of eight (8) initial employees in 1992 to over 400 design engineers, draftsman, office staffs, drivers and maintenance personnel combined as for this writing. What most people are wrong about is that they usually associate TTSP as a shipbuilding company. It is not. Though it is an affiliate or sister company of the Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Company (TSC) in Hiroshima, Japan, it only designs merchant ships to supplement the said mother company. It specializes in detail designs of bulk carriers, tankers and other ocean-going vessels. It is also involved in designing details of engineering, manufacturing, oil and biogas plants. Currently, it has plans of gradually expanding its workforce, capability, and office...
