Lead Naval Architect – FSRU Conversion

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Structural Engineer with expertise in vessel life extension fatigue analysis and structural reinforcement for LNG carriers FSRUs and floating energy units. The engineer will perform high-level or Pre-FEED level assessments depending on the availability of detailed hull engineering data with the goal of enabling 20 years of safe operation post-conversion.

Key Responsibilities

• Life Extension Assessment

  • Conduct fatigue analysis and evaluate vessel structure for 20 years of additional operation.

  • Assess structural integrity corrosion allowances and feasibility of conversion for floating LNG operations.

• Structural & Stability Studies

  • Analyze deck load capacity for regasification equipment vaporizers compressors and skids.

  • Perform Center of Gravity (CoG) and freeboard adjustment checks to ensure vessel stability post-modification.

  • Review intact and damaged stability scenarios using available data or reference assumptions.

• Hull & Structural Reinforcement

  • Identify conceptual hull reinforcements or modifications to support heavy process equipment or LNG buffer tanks.

  • Evaluate the impact of new loads on hull strength including thermal loads dynamic loads during STS (ship-to-ship) operations and operational constraints.

• Conversion Feasibility

  • Perform high-level assessments when detailed hull engineering data is unavailable leveraging assumptions and reference databases.

  • Where hull details are available carry out Pre-FEED level assessment covering all critical structural and stability considerations.

Qualifications :

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Naval Architecture Offshore/Structural Engineering or Marine Engineering.

• Minimum 1015 years of experience in structural analysis for ships FPSOs or FSRUs.

• Strong knowledge of classification society rules (ABS DNV BV etc.) and IMO stability requirements.

• Demonstrated experience with:

  • Fatigue analysis and hull life extension studies.

  • Conversion feasibility for LNG carriers or floating regasification units.

  • Stability analysis (intact and damage).

  • Load and strength assessments.

• Proficiency in stability software (GHS NAPA MOSES or equivalent).

• Familiarity with process load integration for regasification topsides is highly desirable.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with LNG-to-Power projects FSRU conversions or offshore vessel upgrades.

• Ability to prepare high-quality Pre-FEED deliverables reports and presentations for clients.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work under limited input data.
