The companies are executing a full-scope BWTS retrofit and lifecycle project management plan for Tidewater.
To date, starting December 2024, the teams have delivered 16 BWTS systems, surveyed 14 vessels, delivered 12 engineering packages approved by class, completed prefabrication and materials procurement for five, and retrofitted and commissioned two - with over 50 professionals involved across the U.S., Africa, and Europe.
The work is being delivered through a fully integrated EPCI model, with GLO Marine managing engineering, prefabrication, logistics, and installation. This approach ensures full control and benefits the client, which deals with only one point of contact throughout the project.
