Innovation and prototypes

We conceptualize and design innovative prototypes, geared towards both future manufacturing and meeting the ship owner’s specific needs while in operation. We convert the ship owner’s original ideas into real products and we analyse the viability thereof by striving for efficiency, differentiation and high quality design.

As they are such innovative designs, they are not subject to the usual regulations. For this reason, we seek the initial approval from one or more classification societies, taking into account the developments in documentation and risk analysis with a view to ensuring that the prototype is safe and non-polluting.

Our prototypes are energy efficient, to reduce the environmental impact and reduce ship fuel consumption, which, in the maritime market, leads to a commitment to green fuels such as LNG, hydrogen or ammonia.

Our prototypes include:

• Ships with hydrogen stations for application in power generation which, among other options, use our hydrogen reformer.
• LNG bunkering ships, with optimized designs with reduced CAPEX.
• Conversions from Ro-Ro to LNG bunkering ships
• Conversions of emission control machinery and installations on all types of ships to comply with the emission reduction measures required by IMO set forth in its “Fit for 55”.
