Marine Engineering
& Turnkey Solutions
Solutions organised around the engineering requirement not around a disconnected product catalogue. Our role can range from a specialised system upgrade to multi-disciplinary turnkey execution.
04
New-build projects
Electrical, instrumentation and automation integration for new vessel construction.
05
Marine electrification & power systems
Power, distribution and emerging electrification solutions for modern vessels.
Systems we engineer & integrate
Technical capability across the vessel.
Afford Marine works across electrical, automation, control, instrumentation, integration and lifecycle requirements.
Every system is considered in the context of the vessel’s existing architecture, interfaces, operating requirements and class expectations.
Power & electrical
PMS, switchboards, generator synchronisation, load sharing/load shedding, blackout recovery, MCC/PCC and VFD panels.
Control & machinery
Engine, boiler, PLC/HMI/SCADA, thruster, CPP and valve remote control systems.
Monitoring & instrumentation
Alarm monitoring, tank gauging, fuel monitoring, gas detection, environmental monitoring and remote monitoring.
Advanced systems
Dynamic positioning, IPMS, remote sounding, naval embedded systems, electrification and battery management.
01
Controls & automation
Control systems engineered for reliable vessel operation.
Marine control and automation systems sit at the centre of vessel operation. They need to be dependable, understandable to the crew and properly integrated with machinery, power, monitoring and safety systems.
Capabilities
- Integrated Alarm Monitoring Systems (AMS / IAMS)
- Main & Auxiliary Engine Control Systems
- Boiler Control Systems
- PLC / HMI / SCADA systems
- Thruster & CPP Control Systems
- Valve Remote Control Systems (VRCS)
- PLC upgradation and obsolescence replacement
- Remote monitoring and data acquisition
02
Turnkey marine solutions
Coordinated engineering and execution across multiple marine systems.
Complex vessel projects can involve multiple disciplines, suppliers, interfaces and commissioning responsibilities. Afford Marine brings electrical, instrumentation, automation and system integration together within one project scope.
Capabilities
- Requirement definition and technical assessment
- Electrical, instrumentation and automation engineering
- System architecture and integration planning
- Equipment and technology coordination
- Cabling, termination and installation support
- Testing, commissioning and sea-trial support
- Documentation and handover support
- Post-commissioning technical support
03
Retrofit, repair & modernisation
Engineering upgrades for existing vessels and legacy systems.
A successful retrofit starts by understanding the installed architecture, the operational issue and the systems that can continue to perform reliably. We engineer upgrades around the vessel to improve reliability, maintainability and operational life.
Capabilities
- Main engine and boiler control upgrades
- Alarm monitoring upgrades
- CPP and thruster control upgrades
- PLC / HMI / SCADA modernisation
- PMS and switchboard modernisation
- Protection relay and breaker upgrades
- Cable re-termination
- Instrumentation replacement and calibration
- Dry-dock electrical and automation repairs
- Obsolescence management
04
New-build projects
Electrical, instrumentation and automation integration for new vessel construction.
Afford Marine works with shipyards, vessel owners, EPC teams, OEMs and technology partners to engineer vessel systems as a coordinated architecture from the beginning.
Capabilities
- Electrical and instrumentation engineering support
- Automation, control and monitoring-system integration
- Cabling, termination and installation support
- Power-management and electrical-system integration
- Navigation, propulsion, safety and communication interfaces
- Testing and commissioning
- FAT / SAT and sea-trial support
- Class-oriented documentation and handover support
05
Marine electrification & power systems
Power, distribution and emerging electrification solutions for modern vessels.
Marine power systems connect generation, distribution, machinery, automation and increasingly propulsion-energy requirements. We work across conventional vessel electrical systems while developing capability for hybrid and pure-electric applications.
Capabilities
- Power Management Systems (PMS)
- Main & Emergency Switchboards
- High-voltage switchboards up to 11 kV
- MCC & PCC panels
- Generator synchronisation
- Load sharing, load shedding and blackout recovery
- Power-quality improvement and metering
- VFD panel solutions
- Battery Management Systems
- Hybrid and pure-electric propulsion integration
06
Advanced marine systems
Specialised systems for increasingly integrated and intelligent vessels.
Advanced requirements connect monitoring, positioning, power, control and digital systems. The focus remains specific and evidence-led: technology is valuable when it improves an operating, safety, maintenance or lifecycle requirement.
Capabilities
- Dynamic Positioning systems
- DP1 to DP2 upgrade engineering
- Integrated Platform Monitoring Systems (IPMS)
- Remote sounding systems
- Naval embedded systems
- Battery management systems
- Remote diagnostics and monitoring
- Vessel digitalisation and data acquisition
