Finally, classification societies determine the nature of your ship conversion (major or minor conversion) in each particular case.

In the conversion design phases of Feasibility Studies, Basic and Detail design WIG accurately meets all conversion requirements according to international standards.

Especially in the stage of Feasibility Studies and consulting our clients get an excellent overview

concerning substantial changes of ship features or structural parameters such as output of main propulsion, installation, ice strengthening, weight characteristics, gross tonnage, overall dimensions, freeboard etc.

As a result of high-quality work in the early design stage, clients clearly see the change of e.g. principal dimensions, passenger, cargo or carrying capacity, extension of service intervals or changes in classification requirements.

• WIG’s design has inspired naval archi-tects, yards and shipowners to develop and realise tailor-made conversion concepts leading to more competitive ships and more profitable ship operation.
