The strategic retrofit
For the existing global fleet - where studies suggest a significant majority may require retrofits to meet tightening CII regulations alone - the challenge is urgent. A strategic retrofit is more than a compliance exercise; it's an investment in your asset's future value and earning potential. Our independent, data-driven process turns new compliance requirements into performance advantages.
From plan to performance
Our service is modular, allowing you to choose the level of accuracy you need to make confident decisions. We guide you through a proven, end-to-end process:
PHASE ONE 1. Determine the baseline: First, we establish the financial reality together by calculating your future costs under a "do nothing" strategy, including FuelEU penalties, EU ETS allowances, and potential IMO GFI remedial units. This becomes the benchmark for every decision. 2. Identify high-potential solutions (A shortlist): The universe of decarbonization options is vast. Instead of overwhelming you with every possibility, we use our deep industry knowledge and experience to create a focused shortlist for you. By analyzing your specific business model, operational profile, and trading areas, we identify a pre-selection of the most promising solutions. This holistic review covers the full spectrum: from immediate operational measures and drop-in fuels to a wide range of energy saving technologies and readiness for future alternative fuels. PHASE TWO 3. Quantify the impact: from shortlist to business case: With a focused shortlist, we move from potential to proof. For each high-potential option, we conduct a detailed quantitative analysis to build a robust business case. This involves calculating not just the effectiveness - the projected savings in energy, fuel, emissions, and operational costs - but also the required investment in both time and capital (CAPEX). As your independent, technology-agnostic partner, we present this data transparently, giving you a clear, side-by-side comparison to make a confident decision based on a complete picture of ROI and implementation effort.
4. Define the strategic roadmap: This is where data becomes your decisive path forward. We present a clear, side-by-side comparison of each shortlisted solution, benchmarking its effectiveness against your financial and operational goals. This empowers you to select the optimal path forward. Together, we then define a prioritized implementation strategy for the lead vessel and create a scalable, actionable roadmap for your entire fleet. PHASE THREE 5. Engineered for constructability: Our detailed design expertise is where your strategy meets reality. We engineer with a unique combined mindset, safeguarding your interests as the owner while creating solutions optimized for buildability. This approach prevents conflicts between design intent and shipyard execution, delivering a smoother, more cost-effective project from start to finish. This foresight results in a reliable and trustworthy project plan, minimizing surprises, budget overruns, and downtime. We manage the entire process, from detailed engineering to coordinating with yards and class, ensuring a seamless transition from blueprint to reality.
