Looking back at 2024, Glo Marine, a provider of marine engineering and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) services, reflects on a year marked by challenges, problem-solving, and teamwork. Over the past year, Glo Marine successfully tackled over 60 engineering projects worldwide, ranging from offshore units to commercial vessels, delivering solutions for structural modifications, system integrations, and compliance upgrades.
Over 60 Projects Delivered in 2024
Engineering in retrofit projects is a whole different challenge compared to newbuilds. There’s no clean slate—every vessel comes with its own constraints, surprises, and real- world limitations. The key to success isn’t just technical know-how, but problem-solving, adaptability, and determination to find the right solution within the existing framework.
While GLO Marine is now a true end-to-end Engineering, Procurement, and Construction provider, engineering remains at our core. It’s what sets us apart. Every project we take on starts with a thoroughly designed engineering plan, ensuring that every decision is built on solid technical expertise.
Thank you to our Engineering Department for being at the heart of every project, solving problems, and working with our clients to find the best solution for every challenge.
