RETROFIT AND CONVERSIONS
Modifications on an existing vessel may be needed due to changes in the market requirements or in the international & local rules. Hauschildt Marine A/S has more than 20 years of experience with vessel conversions and retrofits.
Conversions
Vessel conversions are becoming a normal solution when the ship owner needs cargo/volume capacity increase. Conversions like ship lengthening or sponsons installations can be a more economic, fast and simple solution than a new building. Hauschildt Marine A/S provides the consultancy to evaluate and optimize the necessary increase of volume and develops the required documentation for the Class approval and for the shipyard.
Retrofit
Over the years, environmental questions have been one of the major focus of the international maritime organization (IMO) conventions. Systems to reduce the gas emissions from fossil fuels and the contamination of waters from non-native microorganisms will soon be mandatory for existing fleets. Hauschildt Marine A/S has a many years of experience with these issues and the knowhow on the right way to solve them. We work with top class ship-owners, to provide consultancy for the installation of scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems (BWTS).
