Royal Niestern Sander | Ship conversion

Ship conversion

We renew, redesign and rebuild ships to new technical and functional requirements.

Ship conversion is a very specialized line of work that Royal Niestern Sander has made its own. Royal Niestern Sander has a large portfolio of very diverse and complex ship conversions. Think of the renewal of old ships, the redesign of existing ships or the conversion to new technical and functional requirements. Here the customer question comes first. A customer-specific design is created. Then the engineering takes place. Customization as it should be.

Lengthening

Royal Niestern Sander has a lot of experience in extending ships. We have our own construction department where we build a new ship section that will be added to the existing ship later on.

Refit

Existing ships nowadays have to stay longer and longer in action. This requires a regular renewal of the existing ship to the specific wishes and needs of the client ranging from a complete accommodation or certain sections of a ship.

Refurbishment

Ballast water management system installation

Scrubber installation

Alternative fuels conversions

Conversion general cargo vessel for polar waters

The yard was approached to carry out a complicated conversion of two dry cargo ships. The ‘Arctica 1’ and ‘Arctica 2’ were to be converted for use in extreme winter temperatures and conditions.

Extensive refit for Arctic Sunrise

Over an intense nine-month period, Royal Niestern Sander Shipyard firmly took on the Arctic Sunrise in a refit project. During the extensive overhaul, nearly all of the accommodation and work areas of this Greenpeace vessel were renewed, granting the vessel at least another 15 years of service.
