Ulstein has a business culture that combines structure and creativity, experience and innovation, bold thinking and precise execution. We are driven by a vision of creating tomorrow's solutions for sustainable marine operations.
We develop groundbreaking vessels, ship designs and solutions. By innovating and shaping the solutions of tomorrow we create value for customers, shareholders, employees and the society at large. Sustainable growth is at the core of what we do. Any product will have an impact when being produced, when being in use, and when taken out of use. When designing a ship or developing a product, we keep in mind their life cycle environmental impact.
The ULSTEIN X-BOW®, the inverted bow concept, redefined marine engineering. The bow concept was launched in 2005, together with the first shipbuilding contract, and gained immediate interest from shipowners. The X-BOW hull line design has been tried in most weather conditions.
X-BOW®
The X-STERN™ introduces the documented X-BOW® effect to the aft ship. The sloping, higher stern allows for a sharp stern shape in which the transom plate is replaced by a pointed aft. Some of the benefits are: Improved safety for crew and equipment, increased flexibility in operations and reduced fuel consumption.
X-STERN™
A series of trawlers in which the harvesting methods are less damaging to the catch, resulting in increased quality of the end product. The hull and propulsion solutions provide for reduced fuel consumption and less emissions to air.
For one year, in connection with a big data project on board the ‘Rem Hrist’, Remøy Shipping has reduced fuel consumption by more than 10% by analyzing the ship's Big Data. The company has therefore decided to install the Ulstein Blue Box on two more ships.
OHT sets new benchmark in heavy offshore transport and installation. The vessel has the ability to perform heavy lift crane operations with the main deck submerged.
The X-CONNECT® system architecture takes products coming from ULSTEIN to a new standard in terms of flexibility and scalability. With our effort on offering a platform that utilize digital possibilities, you can offer ship intelligence that makes your business smarter, safer and greener.
With creative enthusiasm we combine skills, knowledge and creativity to come up with new concepts, solutions and products that can carry the maritime industry into the future. Through our history, we have received a number of nominations and awards, some of which are listed below.
Our Hybrid Propulsion arrangement combines the best properties of both diesel-electric and diesel-mechanical propulsion into one system.
The X-STERN EXTENDER™ concept is a feature which turns a relatively small vessel into a flexible subsea vessel with an extendable moon pool in the aft.
Is a bow really a necessity for large ships? A heightened stern, the TWIN X-STERN™, can operate either way, thus facilitating on-site DP positioning. This idea was nominated for the Innovation of the Year Award at the OSJ Conference 2016.
ULSTEIN BRIDGE VISION™ is a concept for a modern ship bridge where safety in complex operations has been given major focus. Firstly introduced in 2012 as a ground-breaking concept that promises major improvements for the operation of vessels, several subsystems have so far been successfully introduced to the market.
Innovative ship designs and sustainable solutions. ULSTEIN contributes in creating a maritime industry that is highly competitive and green.
