Capabilities
Piping & Systems

We deliver advanced engineering for vessel piping and system retrofits, ensuring safe integration, optimized performance, and full class compliance. Our team provides concept-to-approval design support tailored for retrofit and modification projects.

Our capabilities include:

  • System Layout & Routing – optimized 2D/3D layouts for new or modified piping systems.
  • Stress & Flow Analysis – durability, safety, and flow performance validated under all operating conditions.
  • Process Systems Design – ballast, fuel, cooling, fire-fighting, and other essential ship systems.
  • Integration Engineering – adapting new equipment into existing vessel infrastructure with minimal disruption.
  • Class Documentation – drawings, calculations, and technical packages for class approval.

Capabilities
Structural Engineering

At GLO Marine, our specialised engineering team—composed of engineers, naval architects, and project managers—delivers precise and efficient structural calculations tailored to complex retrofit demands. Using industry-leading FEA tools like STAAD Pro, ABAQUS, Nauticus 3D Beam, Genie, and more, we support clients with a wide range of tasks including hull and element strength analysis, fatigue and buckling studies, and integration assessments.

Key Service Capabilities:

  • First-principles and FEA-based structural design and analysis
  • Local and global strength assessments (static, dynamic, shock, fatigue)
  • Component design: bulkheads, girders, frames, foundations 
  • Buckling and ultimate strength analysis for structural integrity
  • Vibration analysis: modal, forced vibrations, resonance mapping
  • Equipment-strength integration under seismic and dynamic loads 
  • Third-party verification and class-ready documentation

Capabilities
Stability

We provide specialist naval architecture services for vessel modifications and retrofits, ensuring compliance with class requirements and maintaining operational safety. From feasibility to class approval, we deliver reliable calculations and documentation tailored to each project.

Our capabilities include:

  • Intact & Damage Stability – full compliance analysis under IMO and class rules.
  • Conversion & Retrofit Assessments – impact studies for added equipment, modules, or structural changes.
  • Load & Weight Control – precise evaluation of weight distribution during upgrades or mobilisations.
  • Visibility & Operational Checks – ensuring compliance with SOLAS, DP operations, and crew safety standards.
  • Approval Documentation – preparation of stability booklets and technical submissions for class/flag.

Capabilities
Hydraulics

We design hydraulic systems for vessel retrofits and mission-equipment integration, ensuring reliable performance, safety, and full compliance. Our designs support everything from auxiliary upgrades to complex offshore mobilisation projects.

Our capabilities include:

  • HPU Design & Sizing – tailored hydraulic power units to match retrofit or mission needs.
  • Piping & Distribution – layout and routing for hydraulic piping, manifolds, and control blocks.
  • Performance Analysis – pressure drop, flow, and safety calculations for efficient operation.
  • Filtration & Flushing Systems – ensuring system reliability and contamination control.
  • Class & Safety Compliance – documentation, testing, and approval support for marine standards.
