Commercial Naval Architects Pty Ltd (CNA) is a design and consultancy firm established in 2002 to concentrate on servicing the commercial marine sector both within Australia and overseas. The company utilises the staff and office space of its long running sister company John Lund Marine Design Pty Ltd (JLMD). As such CNA has access to the wealth of information generated by JLMD since it was formed in 1981.

In the past, a diverse range of projects have been carried out by both JLMD and CNA. Our clients have included government departments, large and small companies and individuals both within Australia and overseas. Counted amongst these projects are numerous full designs of vessels including:

  • Fast patrol and pilot boats
  • Charter boats, including luxury Motor Yachts
  • Passenger vessels and ferries
  • Specialised cargo vessels
  • Landing barges
  • Floating plant and dredgers

In addition to full design projects, many smaller projects have been undertaken including modifications and conversions, stability assessment and consulting services provided for a wide variety of vessels. Details and pictures of some of these previous projects can be found on our Commercial Vessels or Charter & Fishing Vessels pages.

Throughout many years of operation, both companies have collected a variety of designs completed to different stages. A selected showcase of these designs can be viewed on our Designs page.

Location

Our offices are located within the marine village of the Sanctuary Cove. The resort covers more than 1000 acres, and is designed around four man made harbours, located in what is perhaps Australia's leading tourism destination, the Gold Coast. Queensland's Gold Coast is a one hour drive from Brisbane International Airport, and thirty minutes drive from Coolangatta domestic airport. Flying time to Sydney is one hour and fifteen minutes. The Gold Coast is one of Australia's premier tourist destinations, and is also home to a wide range of boat building companies.
