Conversion & Retrofitting
Complete vessel adaptation to new environmental regulations, propulsion system conversion and structural modifications to extend service life and improve performance.

Conversion & Retrofitting

Overview

Vessel conversion and retrofitting is an economical alternative to new construction that allows existing ships to be adapted to the latest regulations, improve their efficiency and extend their commercial service life. We manage complex transformation projects from concept to certified delivery.

Problems We Solve

Critical Challenges in the Naval Industry

Fleet not complying with new environmental regulations

High replacement cost through new construction

Need to switch fuel (from HFO to LNG/methanol)

Obsolescence of propulsion and generation systems

Requirements for new water treatment systems

Loss of contracts for not meeting current specifications

Value We Deliver

Tangible and Measurable Benefits

60-70% savings vs. new construction

Compliance with IMO 2030 and future regulations

15-20 year increase in commercial service life

25% improvement in energy efficiency

Access to new markets and contracts

Significant increase in vessel value
