Retrofit specialist GLO Marine has announced a $7 million (€6 million) investment in a new integrated assembly and production facility in Galați, Romania, as it seeks to expand its end-to-end vessel upgrade and decarbonization capabilities.
The new facility will allow the company to engineer, fabricate, pre-assemble and integrate complex retrofit systems under a coordinated delivery model. Construction is underway, with completion scheduled by the end of the year and production set to begin in February 2027.
The project is expected to create around 40 skilled technical roles, including welders, electricians and integration specialists.
GLO Marine said the expansion comes as vessel upgrade projects become more electrically driven and structurally complex, particularly in decarbonization and offshore mobilization scopes, increasing the importance of integrated execution capability.
The Galați unit will support fabrication of steel structures, piping systems, skids and modules, as well as electrical panels and switchboards. It will also produce pre-integrated decarbonization packages, including shore power (OPS) and hybrid-ready systems.

By bringing mechanical fabrication and electrical integration in-house, the company said it aims to reduce interface risks, shorten onboard installation windows and increase control over quality and delivery schedules.
