Engineering the way forward. GLO Marine delivers seamless retrofit, conversion, and upgrade solutions

GLO Marine is a Romania-based naval architecture and structural engineering practice that specialises in managing complex retrofits and conversions that involve the integration of new technologies. It offers an integrated and seamless approach to naval architecture and engineering based on the four key stages in the project lifecycle. From feasibility & concept and design & engineering to procurem

ent & logistics and installation & site support, its turnkey solutions cover every aspect of the project process. This ensures the smooth and efficient execution of any retrofit, conversion or vessel upgrade project.

At GLO MARINE, we support vessel owners through compliance-driven modifications by combining regulatory expertise with structural, stability, and retrofit engineering capabilities.

Our services include:
▪️ GAP analysis and compliance assessments
▪️ Feasibility studies and compliance pathways
▪️ Structural and stability evaluations
▪️ Retrofit planning and engineering documentation
▪️ Class and regulatory approval support

One example of this capability was supporting a Norwegian offshore vessel owner in achieving IMO IP Code compliance. Our team developed the compliance strategy, identified the required modifications, and delivered the engineering package needed to align the vessel with current regulatory requirements while minimising operational disruption.

💡 June is shaping up to be another busy month, with our teams supporting projects across multiple regions and vessel segments worldwide.

From feasibility studies and engineering to project management, procurement, installation, and commissioning, GLO Marine provides end-to-end support throughout the lifecycle of marine retrofit and upgrade projects.

This month, our teams are involved in a range of initiatives, including shore power connection projects, alternative fuel and energy-saving technology integrations, onboard system integrations, electrical upgrades, and other vessel modernization projects aimed at improving operational efficiency, compliance, and sustainability.

As always, we work closely with clients, shipyards, and technology partners to deliver practical solutions from concept through ex*****on.

👇 Here's a snapshot of where GLO MARINE teams are currently active this month.

Fixed-speed cooling pumps and fans throttled against demand are one of the most consistent sources of avoidable fuel consumption on board.
𝗩𝗙𝗗 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 on these auxiliaries typically delivers substantial electrical savings - power on centrifugal pumps scales with the cube of speed - without compromising thermal margins or reliability.

We deliver it end to end, as a single engineering scope:
✔️ Flow analysis and operating profile assessment
✔️ VFD selection, sizing, and electrical integration
✔️ Control strategy, PMS interfacing, harmonics evaluation
✔️ Class documentation and commissioning support

Typical applications: seawater cooling pumps, LT cooling pumps, central cooling circuits, engine room ventilation fans.

One team. One point of accountability. All engineering disciplines covered — structural, stability, electrical, hydraulic, and control systems — from feasibility through to class submission.

Adding or replacing mission-critical equipment — cranes, winches, LARS, VLS, Walk-to-Work gangways, or cable-lay systems — triggers a cascade of class obligations: revised load case calculations, updated stability booklets, structural approval drawings, and interface documentation across each of these systems. Without a clear compliance pathway from the outset, integration projects routinely encounter approval delays, scope creep, and dry dock overruns.

At GLO MARINE, 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 is built into the engineering process from day one. We conduct 𝗚𝗔𝗣 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗲𝘀 against applicable class rules and flag approval requirements early, structuring the retrofit scope — foundation and load case engineering, structural reinforcements and grillage design, damage stability and seakeeping calculations, and full systems interface engineering — around a documented compliance strategy that satisfies class surveyors and supports insurance requirements.

Compliance and energy efficiency planning are no longer separate workstreams. Addressed together, at vessel level, they form the foundation of a credible decarbonisation strategy through 2030 and beyond. As CII thresholds tighten annually and IMO net-zero targets draw closer, the technical and investment decisions made today will directly shape future performance, charter competitiveness, and asset value.

At GLO MARINE, we help shipowners build structured, vessel-level plans that go beyond regulatory compliance to deliver measurable efficiency gains.

A look at the GLO MARINE from the air. 👉 We are exactly where we said we would be: construction on schedule, operational by end of 2026.

For vessel owners, equipment providers and offshore project partners, this is the moment we have been working toward: a 2,700 m² production base in Galați built specifically to support the kind of complex retrofits and integrations our clients have been asking us to deliver end-to-end.

Structural fabrication and LV electrical assembly under one QA system. One workshop. One accountable team. From engineering to deck.

More to come as the building handover approaches. For now, thank you to the team behind every photo of every milestone.

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.
