What MARIN TEKNIKK does
Marin Teknikk AS is a privately held Norwegian ship design and engineering company founded in 1981, headquartered in Gurskøy (Ålesund region), with wholly-owned engineering subsidiaries in Szczecin and Gdansk, Poland. The firm delivers concept design, basic and detail design engineering, conversion and rebuilding engineering, and in-house 3D plotting/modeling for newbuilding and refit projects across five horizontal vessel segments: offshore energy (AHTS, PSV, MPSV, DSV, SCV, SSV, IMR, cable layer, offshore mining), commercial fishing (longliner, trawler, purse seine, Danish seine, crab catcher), yacht & expedition, aquaculture, and cargo. Its product portfolio consists of named vessel platforms — MT6020, MT6022, MT6024, MT6025, MT6027, MT6040, MT6067, MT1115 L, MT5006, and MT2007 — together with the proprietary Multi Hull Design (MHD) and Motion Compensating System (MCS), and a patented double-deck concept for diving support vessels. Notable designs include the world's first autonomous zero-emission container vessel (MT2007 Yara Birkeland) and DP2/DP3 diving support and subsea construction vessels for operators such as DOF Group, Maersk Supply Service, SBM Offshore, DeBeers Marine, Chevalier Floatels, and Otto Candies.
The firm generates revenue through B2B professional-services design contracts and engineering packages with ship owners, paired with construction delivered through a global shipyard-partner network that includes Kleven Verft, Keppel Singmarine, China Merchants Heavy Industry, Cosco, Tersan, Holland Shipyards, Freire, and Båtbygg. Engagement runs from initial concept through detailed 3D-modeled engineering packages, with hybrid power, battery energy storage, dual-fuel, and IMO Tier III / Clean-Design compliance integrated into vessel specifications. Differentiated technical outcomes cited include walk-to-work operations in sea states up to Hs = 4.5m, ROV operations in sea states up to Hs = 6m, and 10-20% fuel-consumption reduction with diesel-electric propulsion. Marin Teknikk is led by CEO Svein Rune Gjerde and Sales Director Richard K. Gjerde (suggesting family/founder-controlled ownership), with CFO Arild Hatløy (joined January 2015, ex-Rolls-Royce Marine). The company has delivered 120+ vessel designs since 1981, with export across Norway, the USA, Singapore, China, South Africa, Thailand, and the Netherlands.
