As part of the aftermarket scope, Ulstein Design & Solutions AS planned and conducted the inclining test for Orient Adventurer. This test is required to verify the vessel’s stability in her new configuration, a critical requirement before entering operation.
Inclining test as a critical step in vessel conversion and re‑mobilisation
Inclining tests in aftermarket projects are often more demanding than on newbuilds. "Vessels have long operational histories, multiple modifications and tight schedules, leaving no room for error. Our teams handle the entire process, from preparation and on‑site execution to analysis and final documentation, ensuring reliable results and full confidence for owners, operators and class," says Radovan Gasparovic, principal engineer and head of stability & weight at Ulstein Design & Solutions AS.
He continues: "We offer a turn-key solution where we handle everything from start to finish, from preparations to the final report. We do inspections ourselves without relying on other parties to be 100% confident about the vessel's exact status and consequent results."
Aftermarket services supporting complex vessel upgrades
This is one of many aftermarket specialist services Ulstein offers, supporting vessel owners in extending lifetimes, changing roles, and unlocking new operational value.
