GLO Marine SRL

GLO Marine SRL is a Romanian engineering and project-execution company specializing in the upgrade, retrofit, conversion, and integration of vessels in service. Founded in 2016 by a group of Romanian naval architects and engineers, the firm began as a ship-design and structural-analysis practice and has since grown into a global retrofit and integration specialist serving the maritime and offshore sectors. Its stated vision is "Great People. Reliable Engineers. Trusted Partners." and its mission is to help shipowners modernize fleets, reduce emissions, and extend vessel lifetimes through smart engineering and end-to-end project execution. The company positions itself as a single accountable partner for complex vessel upgrades, uniting structural and systems engineering, electrical engineering, consultancy and project management, procurement and logistics, installation and commissioning, riding crews and operational maintenance, and reactivation and decommissioning solutions under one roof. Its service lines address environmental compliance, decarbonisation, retrofits, conversions and mobilisations, energy efficiency and optimization, and structural and mechanical upgrades. Specific capabilities include ballast water treatment system (BWTS) and scrubber retrofits, shore-to-ship power (cold ironing) readiness, hybrid power and battery energy storage system (BESS) integration, and DP2 and switchboard upgrades. According to its official website, GLO Marine has satisfied 47 vessel owners and managers, delivered 340 retrofit projects, completed 55 OSV conversions and mobilisations, and worked across 23 countries. The company serves both vessel owners and OEMs, with a focus on offshore operations in oil and gas and wind, where precision, minimal downtime, and strict regulatory compliance are critical. Its engineering-led approach emphasizes class alignment, regulatory frameworks such as FuelEU and AFIR, and solutions tailored to vessels already in service rather than newbuilds. GLO Marine is headquartered in Romania and operates internationally, describing itself as able to deliver projects "anywhere in the world." It remains a privately held company founded and led by its engineering team. The firm continues to expand its capabilities, including a stated ambition to integrate design, engineering, and production more closely, reflecting its evolution from a design firm into a full-scope retrofit and integration partner.

GLO Marine SRL was founded in 2016 by a group of Romanian naval architects and engineers with a passion for ship design. The company was built on technical depth and precision, with early work focused on vessel design and structural analysis. This foundational experience gave the team a deep understanding of how ships are built and how they can evolve, an engineering DNA that continues to define the company. From its origins as a design firm, GLO Marine gradually expanded its scope. It moved into complex retrofits and then into decarbonization technologies, transforming into a global retrofit and integration specialist. The company's growth reflected a strategic shift from providing engineering studies to delivering turnkey upgrades, retrofits, and system integrations for the maritime and offshore sectors. By uniting engineering, procurement, logistics, installation, and commissioning under one roof, GLO Marine positioned itself as an end-to-end upgrade partner. This multidisciplinary approach allows it to manage the entire project lifecycle, ensuring that complex vessel upgrades are efficient, compliant, and cost-effective. The company reports having delivered 340 retrofit projects, completed 55 OSV conversions and mobilisations, and served 47 vessel owners and managers across 23 countries. Looking ahead, GLO Marine is expanding its capabilities with a dedicated product line and aims to further integrate design, engineering, and production. This forward-looking strategy builds on its established expertise in structural and systems engineering, electrical engineering, and project management, as well as its focus on environmental compliance and decarbonisation solutions such as shore power readiness and hybrid power upgrades.
