Ship conversion

Ship conversion projectsTailor-made upgrades for merchant and cruise vessels 

SYM Naval develops and executes ship conversion projects that improve the efficiency, performance and operational capabilities of commercial and passenger vessels. From eco-efficient retrofits to major structural modifications, every project is engineered to meet new regulatory requirements and adapt to evolving operational demands.

Our Technical Office leads the entire process—from concept and engineering studies to coordination with shipyards and classification societies—ensuring certified results, reduced downtime and long-term value for every vessel we convert.

Engineering & Design

Every conversion begins with a tailor-made engineering study. We analyse structural changes, stability, cargo modifications, propulsion improvements and eco-efficient solutions to ensure safe, compliant and cost-effective outcomes.

Execution & Upgrades

SYM Naval manages conversion works in shipyards worldwide, coordinating propulsion upgrades, accommodation refits, cargo adjustments and system modernisation with precision and minimal downtime.

Certified Results

We work closely with shipowners, shipyards and classification societies to deliver fully certified conversion projects that extend vessel life, ensure compliance and maximise long-term performance.
