Marine Engineering and Marine Operations

Global Maritime has an international team of engineers and mariners who apply their diverse skills and knowledge to technical and commercial problems. The company's aim is to find solutions to such problems using established engineering principles, advanced analysis techniques and practical experience. We have worked on major projects for contractors and consultants, undertaking feasibility studies, detailed design work and providing practical advice for marine operations. Our experience includes immersed tube tunnels, barrage projects, port studies, vessels and floating installations.

Our staff of naval architects, master mariners, and marine and structural engineers apply balanced practical and technical expertise in the fields of maritime civil engineering and commercial shipping. In-house we have a suite of sophisticated computer programs for numerical modelling, analysis and simulation.

Our team of engineers is continuously involved in mooring analysis, rig move procedures, anchor holding capacity calculations, etc. for owners worldwide.
We assist owners/charterers in marine matters, and take care of such tasks on a contractual basis for several owners/charterers.

Thruster Reliability

In 1995 IMCA (International Marine Contractors Association) commissioned Global Maritime to carry out an extensive research project into the failure modes of CPP (Controllable Pitch Propeller) thrusters. The conclusions from the report have had a considerable impact on the industry and steps are being taken to improve thruster reliability.
