At GLO Marine, we provide advanced structural engineering services for vessel modifications, conversions, and offshore mobilizations worldwide.
With a core engineering hub at the Black Sea, in Constanța, Romania, we support shipyards, EPC contractors, and offshore operators across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.
Our multidisciplinary team combines technical precision, class compliance, and practical fabrication insight to ensure that every modification delivers both structural integrity and operational efficiency.
Our structured engineering approach
1. Concept Review
Every successful project begins with understanding feasibility.
We define key integration points, assess potential risks, and align technical solutions with client requirements, vessel constraints, and classification rules.
2. Basic Design
We develop optimized structural layouts using advanced FEM/FEA analysis, ensuring minimal hull impact while achieving full compliance with class and safety standards.
3. Detailed Design
Our team delivers production-ready drawings, 3D models, and installation details for critical ship areas — including foundations, reinforcements, and grillage systems — ensuring accuracy and ease of fabrication.
4. Installation Support
During the mobilization or modification phase, our engineers provide on-site technical support to ensure smooth installation, commissioning, and testing — reducing rework, downtime, and cost.
Balancing global and local loads
Structural engineering for vessel modifications requires balancing how new installations interact with the ship’s structure. Our engineers consider both global hull responses and localized stresses, evaluating:
- Hull girder bending, shear, and torsion under global loads.
- Environmental and operational effects: wave motion, wind, ice, or snow accretion.
- Equipment and foundation load transfer through grillage structures.
- Safety and functionality: access, fire protection, and HVAC systems.
This integrated approach ensures every vessel remains safe, efficient, and class-approved, no matter the scale of modification
