Vessel electrification
Battery-electric and hybrid propulsion for workboats, ferries, tour boats and tugs.
- Operating profile and energy demand
- Battery and drivetrain sizing
- Stability and weight
- System layout on board
Engineering for cleaner ships, marinas and ports.
We design and calculate the changes that let vessels, marinas and ports run on electricity and cleaner fuels, from first concept to detailed design.

What we do
A team of marine and mechanical engineers. Every study has a fixed scope and a fixed fee.
Alternative fuel retrofits
Converting existing vessels to methanol and other low-carbon fuels.
- Tank arrangement and safety zones
- Engine options and fuel system
- Class requirements
- Emissions before and after
Ports and marinas
Getting the shore side ready for electric and cleaner vessels.
- Shore power and charging
- Energy and emission baselines
- Technical input for upgrades
- Support for tenders
Selected work
Existing vessels, real constraints.
't Jansje
Full redesign of a historic inland vessel to sail emission-free on salt-water batteries, in a consortium with Fieldlab Loods M and Even Groene Vrienden. We carried out the complete design process. The main challenge was the added weight of the batteries: we worked out how much buoyancy and stability margin the hull had left and arranged the battery system around it.

Acta Auriga
Retrofit design to convert this offshore wind support vessel to run on methanol. The design covers fuel tank arrangement, safety systems and the new power plant, keeping DP2 redundancy and 30-day autonomy.
