As offshore wind, subsea and energy projects expand worldwide, the vessels supporting them face growing technical and commercial pressure.

Bluestone’s Co-founder & Director Matteo Di Maio shares his thoughts on the future of retrofit execution

This week at Nor-Shipping, we’re reminded of a simple truth: the only constant in maritime is change. But in today’s environment, change isn’t just accelerating, it’s becoming more layered, more unpredictable, and more urgent to act on. The theme of this year’s event, #Future-proof, couldn’t be more timely.

Bluestone has carried out a retrofit project on a large passenger ferry, meant to drastically improve the energy efficiency of the vessel HVAC plant.

Bluestone has been appointed to install a new check valve on the overboard line of the exhaust gas cleaning system for a luxury cruise ship. The project involved installing a DN700 valve and supplying ancillary parts, including flanges, threaded connections, and DN50 polybutylene pipe.

Today we are taking one hour off to catch the start of the LV Cup final.

Bluestone has recently completed an EPC installation of a Galley Hoods M.A.R.V.E.L. System on a large cruise vessel.

This year, we had the honor of attending the 31st SMM Hamburg. As the first international event for the maritime industry, SMM 2024 brought together over 2,200 companies and 48,000 attendees from more than 100 countries.

Bluestone has been contracted to execute an EPC retrofit on a large passenger vessel aimed at reducing noise and vibration generated form a new installation.
