Service
Re-purpose tonnage, extend service life, unlock new trades.
Delivered conversions
Converted from a bulk carrier into a ten-deck livestock carrier with 736 pens.
Converted from a container ship into an eight-deck livestock carrier with 395 pens.
Overview
We convert existing ships for new trades — bulk carriers and container ships into livestock carriers, passenger-to-cargo refits, lengthening and jumboisation — from the feasibility study and class-approved drawings to supervision at the yard.

How we work
Vessel documents and a condition survey, then a first check of capacity, stability and strength in the converted condition — with an order-of-magnitude cost and schedule.
The new general arrangement, tank and system changes and the structural concept, agreed with the owner before anything is submitted.
Structural drawings, scantling calculations and stability documentation prepared and submitted; comments answered until approval.
Drawings to the shop floor, inspection of the work in progress and attendance at class surveys on the owner’s behalf.
Inclining experiment, approved stability booklet and loading manual — and a vessel-specific loading computer if the trade needs one.
Questions
Bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, RoRo and passenger ships converted to livestock carriers or other trades, plus lengthening, widening and jumboisation. MV LEADER M, formerly a bulk carrier, and MV OSAMA BEY, formerly a container ship, now trade as livestock carriers.
Lightship and deadweight in the new configuration, intact stability, longitudinal strength, freeboard and tonnage, the main structural and system changes, class and flag requirements, and an estimate of cost and yard time.
Almost always. A conversion changes the lightship weight and its centre of gravity, so an inclining experiment is carried out and the stability booklet and loading manual are re-issued for approval.
Yes — we supply the approved drawings, answer the yard’s technical queries and attend on the owner’s behalf through the works and the class surveys.
