CONVERSION

Innovative projects with great complexity

Get to know more about our conversion projects that focused on sustainability give them new life.

Ensure sustainability to innovation.

The Naval industry is walking towards decarbonisation and fuel change to a more efficient and sustainable one.
Liquefied natural gas is a more economical solution, which reduces operational costs and produces less pollution emissions.

Ro-Ro Passenger

Year of conversion

2020

Length

187 metres

Breadth

26 metres

Speed

23 knots

DWT

7 000 tonnes

Capacity

Passengers - 1000
Vehicles - 480

Project details

Installation and mounting of a LNG tank with 160 tonnes and 425 m3 of capacity; retrofit of the two main engines and sensors for monitoring the consumptions and emissions in real time.

Modernisation of this vessel included the adoption of “smart ship” technology, with the installation of a Wi-Fi network, WhatsApp, Smart TV and access to cabins by QR code.

This project allows the vessel to navigate both on fuel and liquefied natural gas, which creates a minor environmental impact, with a 30% reduction of CO2, endowing it with an autonomy of more than one thousand nautical miles.

Speed

24 knots

DWT

8 700 tonnes

Capacity

Passengers - 600
Vehicles - 646

Project details

Installation and assembly of two liquefied natural gas storage tanks with a total 565 m³ capacity, the adaptation of the two main engines and installation of sensors to monitor the consumption and CO₂ emissions in real-time.

The modernisation of this vessel also involves the adoption of smart ship technology, with the installation of wi-fi, WhatsApp, Smart TV and access to cabins through a QR code.

This project allows the ship to sail on both diesel and liquefied natural gas and at a lower environmental impact, with a 30% reduction in CO₂ emissions, giving it an autonomy of over 1,400 nautical miles.

Needs and market wishes are constantly changing and the naval industry is no exception to this.

Since the conversion of specific systems to the total retrofit of a ship, we combine our technical capacity and experience to execute all kinds of works.

Proven specialisation and technical capacity.
