Frequently Asked Questions

What is green retrofit?

In the maritime industry, a green retrofit is the refurbishment of a vessel for the purpose of making it more environmentally sustainable. Green retrofitting is not only cost-effective but also hugely effective for bringing down the carbon footprint of a ship and reducing its impact on the environment – hence the name, green retrofit.

How long does it take to complete a ship refit?

The time it will take to complete your ship refit will come down to the unique specifications of your vessel and what you require. In general, it takes between six months to a year. This is in contrast to a new build which often takes four to five years to complete in full.

Why should you consider converting a ship?

There are many reasons an owner/operator might convert a vessel. Conversions are the sustainable solution to new builds in the maritime industry, as the service prolongs the lifespan of a vessel. As a result, conversions are not only more environmentally sustainable but also more cost-effective in the long term.

What is a 3D laser scanning survey?

As the title suggests, a 3D laser scanning survey collected data points from a structure such as a vessel or a ship for the purpose of creating a three-dimensional survey. 3D laser scanning collects data remotely, and at a level of detail and speed that traditional surveying cannot match.
