Marine Industry – Engineering & Consulting Services

What services does Capnor provide for the marine industry?

Capnor supports shipyards, vessel owners, offshore service providers, and marine equipment manufacturers with specialized engineering and precision measurement services. From retrofitting scrubbers and BWTS to dimensional control and scanning of hulls or engine rooms — we ensure operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Laser Scanning – Comprehensive documentation of ship hulls, decks, and technical spaces

Laser scanning provides high-resolution point clouds of ships and vessels for accurate design, modifications, or documentation, whether in drydock or at sea.

Designing BWTS – Ballast Water Treatment System retrofits and documentation

We offer full design and measurement services for BWTS integration, from scan-to-model to class drawings and support for IMO/MARPOL compliance.

Scrubber Engineering – Design support for exhaust gas cleaning systems

Our scrubber engineering services include 3D laser scanning, integration design, and clash detection for EGC systems on vessels of all types.

Dimensional Control – Ensuring accurate installation of marine systems

Dimensional control helps shipyards verify prefabricated elements and avoid costly rework during retrofit or construction.

3D Engineering – Digital ship models for retrofit planning and clash analysis

We create full 3D engineering models of vessels, machinery spaces, and outfitting elements to support modifications, inspections, or repairs.

Clash Detection – Collision-free integration of piping and systems onboard

Clash detection ensures efficient and conflict-free installation of scrubbers, tanks, or BWTS in congested engine rooms.

Drone Inspection – Aerial and confined-space inspection of marine assets

Our drone inspections help monitor the condition of vessel hulls, superstructures, and deck systems safely and efficiently.

Handheld Scanning – Portable scanning in tight or difficult areas

Handheld scanning allows for quick capture of geometry in small compartments or inside complex technical systems.

Reverse Engineering – Rebuilding marine components from legacy parts

With reverse engineering, we reproduce or redesign mechanical parts for obsolete or damaged systems onboard.

Laser Tracker – High-precision alignment of critical marine systems

Using a laser tracker, we align propulsion elements, engine blocks, and shaft systems to prevent vibration and premature wear.
