Scott McClure

Mr. McClure spent two years as a naval architect at the U.S.C.G. HQ working on ships from 90 feet and up. Since becoming President of ACMA, he has led the company in designing the conversion of tankers and semisubmersibles to floating production units. Mr. McClure was project naval architect for Petronas Carigali in Malaysia during design of the new build Dulang Field FSO. He led the Company in performing the conceptual through detailed design and construction of the first high speed ABS classed Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) crewboat, the STILLWATER RIVER. He has performed engineering design and analyses of semi-submersibles, SWATHs, jack-up rigs, liftboats and ships. ACMA provided the contract level design for two ABS classed FPSO conversions for Hyundai Offshore (Petrobras’ P-33 & P-35). Other notable project design experience includes: work-ability analyses of three of Hyundai Offshore’s heavy-lift crane barges and the upgrading of their crane ship from 2,000 to 5,000 tons. The company developed the Contract Design (extensive FEA) and fabrication details for two Atlantia SEASTAR TLPs, Morpeth and Allegheny. ACMA, as project naval architects for the Texaco AGBAMI FPSO, performed hull sizing, arranged cargo tanks, marine systems, stability, scantlings, global strength, weights, and motions analyses. He was directly involved in development of CNG transport vessels, participated in hazard and risk assessments and developed tools for integrating gas containment with sizing and costing. Mr. McClure has participated as an expert witness in over thirty cases including the successful defense of Petrobras in regards to two construction bond claims related to the conversion of a semisubmersible to a FPU and a VLCC to a FPSO.
