Client context
An esteemed offshore fleet operator approached GLO MARINE with a challenging yet critical project. The task was to conduct a detailed survey, 3D scanning, and engineering for three Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) from their fleet of six.
This project was not just about precision and technical expertise but also about the efficiency of execution within a demanding timeframe.
The Challenge
The project’s main challenge was the limited space within the engine rooms, demanding precise integration of new equipment without disrupting existing systems. Additionally, the project required simultaneous surveys and scans across all three vessels, adding layers of complexity to our task.
Compounding these challenges was the ambitious deadline: completing the entire engineering and design process for all three vessels within a mere 6 weeks. This required exceptional project management and efficient execution from our team.

PROJECT SOLUTION
Involvement of GLO MARINE throughout the project stages
01
02
Feasibility Study
Advanced feasibility study and troubleshooting to determine the best cost and time effective solutions in order to minimize impact on existing structures. Our experts provided consultancy to client regarding the choice of the best BWTS that suited client requirements.
03
Basic Design & Class Approval
Design team prepared the documents for basic design in accordance with the actual regulations. Engineering optimisation required due to lack of space in engine room for each of the 3 vessels. Engineering review performed with vendor company done almost simultaneously with the basic design package.
04
Detail Design
Design Team successfully integrated all the challenges caused by very limited available space onboard. Our main objective was to complete the model, taking into consideration: minimum impact onboard, system functionality, cost efficient solutions and less site work to be done in the installation phase.
05
Installation Supervision
Client has appointed GLO MARINE to supervise and coordinate the future installation process onboard the 3 vessels.

The outcomes
Final results
- Cost savings from efficient planning & project management
- No time lost
- Best engineering solution for optimized installation process
- 3 vessels scanned at the same time by 2 teams
- No downtime – engineering completed in record time of 3 weeks for all 3 vessels
- Peace of mind during the whole process – very good communication and status control
The whole process of the ballast water treatment system integration was completed in an excellent timeframe of one month, as demanded by the client, in order not to have even a day of downtime.
As a result of the accuracy of the scanning and the excellent collaboration between the planning and engineering departments, the project was executed millimeter level accuracy.
