We're in at Posidonia Events 2026 this week — Hall 1, Stand 1149.

If you're working on a vessel upgrade, a drydock scope, a decarbonisation retrofit or an offshore mobilisation and want to talk it through, drop by.

Every discipline a complex upgrade needs is in-house: engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning, under one accountable team.

Whether you're early in scoping or already deep into yard planning, happy to compare notes.

Drinks are on us.

GLO MARINE is actively involved in the maritime green transition, supporting clients in the hybridisation of existing vessels — including projects where the technology being integrated is still at prototype stage.

For one such project, we worked with a client to help them understand how their regenerative hybrid system could be integrated and made fully operational onboard a general cargo vessel. This covered the full prototyping-to-installation process: resolving the hybridisation requirements, managing the mechanical and electrical integration, and taking the project through class approval with Bureau Veritas.

All disciplines delivered in-house by a single team.

👉 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: 10% fuel saving, zero installation issues, no major structural modifications, and engineering approved without class comments.

GLO MARINE at Posidonia Events 2026 — Athens, 1–5 June 👉 Stand 1149, Hall 1, Romanian Pavilion.

We'll be in Athens as the end-to-end partner shipowners turn to for retrofit, drydock and green transition projects — from complex equipment and structural integrations through to energy-saving systems and decarbonisation technology.

The work we do is built around three things: performance, compliance, and reliable ex*****on. If you have a vessel upgrade on the horizon, let's talk about it in Athens.

Find us at Stand 1149.

For an 𝟴𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗗𝗪𝗧 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 facing a projected downgrade from 2025, GLO MARINE developed a 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽 focused on practical implementation and measurable return.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀:
▪️ 16.5% fuel savings achieved
▪️ 14-month ROI on approx. $816,000 CAPEX
▪️ CII “C” maintained through 2030
▪️ ~9-year vessel lifetime extension
▪️ No cargo capacity impact

By combining 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗖𝗜𝗜 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, and 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼-𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀, we aligned the vessel's specific operational needs with the owner's budget. Rather than proposing high-risk or excessively costly modifications, we engineered a phased, cost-optimized strategy that meets compliance limits using the minimum required investment.

By spreading the implementation over time and aligning it with scheduled drydocking, the owner secured a compliant, high-performing asset for the next decade without spending more than necessary or incurring extra downtime.

A projected CII downgrade does not have to mean reduced commercial viability. With the right retrofit strategy, it becomes an opportunity to improve efficiency, extend vessel lifetime, and reduce operational costs.

At GLO MARINE, we deliver 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 built around technical realism, regulatory alignment, and long-term asset value.

Today, we are highlighting the women of GLO MARINE.

Our work is an end-to-end process, and women are a vital part of every stage. Whether it’s in Engineering, Operations, Project Management, Administration, or Business Development, their contribution is fundamental to how we move forward as a company.

To our female colleagues: thank you for the value you bring to the team and for everything we achieve together.

Happy International Day for Women in Maritime! 👷‍♀️

How do you keep a 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 on schedule when ten vessels, four shipyards, three classification societies, and dozens of suppliers all need to move in sync? ⚙️

Most fleet operators tell us the same thing: the technical work isn’t the hard part — the coordination is.

Misaligned scopes between sister vessels. Class comments arriving too late to action cleanly. Procurement timelines missing the dock window. Lessons from Ship #1 not making it into Ship #2.

That’s where GLO Marine comes in.

We provide consultancy and program management for vessel upgrades and retrofits — aligning engineering, procurement, shipyard ex*****on, and regulatory approvals across your portfolio.

Where we add value:
✅ 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 that surface cost and risk before commitments are made
✅ 𝗗𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 that protects your redelivery date
✅ 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 that turns parallel projects into one controlled campaign
✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 & 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 that keeps approvals ahead of the work

The result: predictable schedules, fewer change orders, and vessels that leave the yard ready to earn.

If a retrofit is on your 2026 or 2027 horizon, we’d value a conversation.

Structural requalification is a critical phase in offshore modifications, particularly when projects require a transition between design codes. These shifts often introduce more stringent safety factors that push existing grillages and deck capacities to their limits.

GLO MARINE addresses these challenges through advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA), environmental load profiling, and bespoke reinforcement engineering. Our expertise ensures that legacy assets meet modern regulatory demands without compromising safety.

Our work on the 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗧 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗪𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮 𝗛𝗩𝗗𝗖 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 serves as a benchmark. To facilitate a new Living Quarters configuration, we performed a comprehensive structural validation to align the platform with updated requirements.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀:
•⁠ ⁠Load Evaluation: 13,000 kN of total load assessed.
•⁠ ⁠Stress Management: Mitigated 96% utilization peaks.
•⁠ ⁠Compliance: Secured approval from Lloyd’s Register.

From heavy equipment integration to complex code transitions, we provide the technical certainty required for critical offshore infrastructure.

The GLO MARINE 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 is now 𝟲𝟬% 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲. .

Construction is advancing on schedule, with full operational readiness confirmed for February 2027, a defining step in our strategic development. The 3,000 m² facility was designed around one idea: bringing engineering and fabrication under the same roof so that our clients have a single, accountable partner from initial feasibility through to final commissioning.

What will come off the production floor reflects where our markets are heading.

For maritime clients, prefabricated steel structures and containerised assemblies that move retrofit work out of the drydock and into a controlled environment. For energy and OEM clients, switchboards, panels, and BESS enclosures wired and factory-tested in Galați. And for both, complete energy transition packages — Battery nergy Storage Systems and shore power infrastructure — delivered as integrated modules rather than loose equipment.

Steel, electrical, and energy systems, fabricated by one team, in one facility, against one engineering intent. That is what end-to-end means in practice — and what lets us deliver a project from concept through to a commissioned, operational system without handing it across three supply chains.

👉 The countdown to the final 40% begins.

Last week, we sat down in our Bucharest offices with William Scott (VP, Engineering & Technical Services) and David Evans (Global Drydocking Manager) from Tidewater to review what has become one of the most demanding fleet programmes we've delivered.

What started as a retrofit programme in late 2024 has grown into a 22-vessel engagement spanning 4 continents and 9 countries - with installations completed in Angola, Congo, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Spain, Tunisia, the Gulf of Mexico, Guyana, and Singapore. All without a single installation error across more than 1,600 man-days of field work.

At that scale, delivery is rarely just an engineering problem. It's a coordination problem. Managing parallel installations across multiple time zones, customs regimes, class societies, and yard windows - while keeping every vessel on schedule - requires a programme model that holds together under pressure.

Our discussions in Bucharest focused on the next chapter: mobilisations, vessel upgrades, and the integration of green technologies - building on the same delivery model that has driven this programme.

We're proud of what the team has built here, and grateful for the trust has placed in GLO MARINE. The best work is still ahead.
