GLO Marine has officially signed a strategic partnership agreement with FuelTech A/S at SMM 2026, creating a unified Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Integration (EPCI) offering for complex marine fuel projects across Europe.
The collaboration focuses specifically on dual-fuel conversions and full tank-to-engine projects. By uniting FuelTech’s specialized knowledge in fuel gas supply and dual-fuel systems with GLO Marine’s established strengths in engineering, vessel integration, and onboard execution, the partnership offers shipowners a turnkey route to decarbonization.
Streamlining complex marine conversions
Retrofitting vessels for alternative fuels involves intricate technical interfaces between equipment manufacturers, naval architects, and shipyard teams. By working in full sync, GLO Marine and FuelTech address this complexity directly by covering the entire project scope:
- Fuel storage & supply systems: Design and supply of specialized fuel gas handling equipment and safety systems.
- Engineering & integration: Feasibility studies, class approvals, detailed design, and system integration within existing vessel architecture.
- Onboard execution & commissioning: Turnkey installation, on-site interface management, and final operational testing.
"This partnership represents a major step forward in how we deliver value to shipowners navigating the energy transition. By bringing equipment supply and engineering together under a unified EPCI umbrella, we eliminate the friction and interface risks that often complicate dual-fuel conversion projects." Radu Procop Business Development & Marketing Director, GLO Marine
Delivering clear value to shipowners
Through this collaborative framework, shipowners and operators benefit from:
- Reduced interface risk: Critical technical boundaries between equipment suppliers and engineering integrators are managed directly between GLO Marine and FuelTech.
- Clear accountability: A single, streamlined line of project responsibility from fuel storage tanks all the way to engine commissioning.
- Efficient timelines: Unified planning and execution models reduce friction, accelerating project delivery schedules.
With this joint capability, GLO Marine and FuelTech are positioned to deliver seamless, end-to-end EPC execution for upcoming dual-fuel conversions and tank-to-engine projects across European waters. Shipowners can now access a single integrated pathway from initial engineering to final onboard commissioning.
