Korea: Where Highly Specialised Yards Take Highly Specialised Partners  South Korea is home to some of the most advanced and highly specialised shipyards in the world, which lead the way in building next-generation vessels for a demanding global market. At G&O Compensators, we believe that such specialised environments demand equally specialised partners.  For over 40 Read more

What is an engine compensator – and why your vessel needs one Marine engine systems are complex, and their reliability is vital for safe and efficient vessel operations. Among the many components ensuring optimal performance, the engine compensator plays a critical – yet often overlooked – role. But what exactly does an engine compensator do, Read more

Managing two-stroke engine vibrations in modern vessels Two-stroke engines remain the preferred choice for deep-sea shipping, valued for their superior fuel efficiency and impressive power output. However, these benefits come with a technical challenge: the generation of complex and high-amplitude vibration patterns. Effectively controlling two-stroke engine vibrations is essential, not only for maintaining vessel stability Read more

What does a compensator do? A vital solution for marine vibration control Vessels operating in demanding maritime environments are exposed to constant mechanical vibrations caused by engines, generators, and various onboard systems. Left unmanaged, these vibrations not only cause discomfort for crew and passengers but also accelerate wear and tear on shipboard equipment, leading to Read more

Advanced engine vibration analysis with G&O Compensators Engine vibration remains a persistent challenge across vessels. At G&O Compensators, we deliver advanced engine vibration analysis solutions to help shipowners and operators identify, assess, and mitigate harmful vibrations that can compromise vessel integrity and operational safety. Why eliminating engine vibration matters Unchecked engine vibrations are not only Read more

The vibration-free engines are here For shipbuilders, vibrations have traditionally been treated as a natural consequence of Newtonian physics, rotational and oscillating forces. The response has been to work around the issue through overengineering: more steel, more cylinders, heavier structures, and restrictions on certain RPM levels. But what if there were a way to eliminate Read more

When Area Sales Manager Andreas Videriksen Clemensen joined G&O Compensators four years ago, it was as a service technician. Today, he’s part of the sales team – with a special focus on retrofit projects. His background in hands-on installations gives him a unique edge when talking to customers around the world. Andreas originally trained as Read more

Case study: from turbulence to balance – a coin-solid result with G&O Compensators Result: 89.08% vibration reduction After installation, vibration levels fell from over 7 mm/s RMS to well below 1 mm/s RMS in 6th order horizontal motion—a reduction of 89.08%. This was not just visible in the data, but also in real-life onboard conditions. Read more

Enhancing Ship Performance Through Advanced Ship Vibration Analysis and Installation In the maritime industry, ensuring optimal vessel performance and longevity is paramount. At G&O Compensators, we specialise in retrofit, installing compensators on ships that are already in operation. By engaging in direct dialogue with shipowners, we address potential vibration issues that could compromise the vessel’s Read more

Why Managing Marine Engine Vibrations Is Critical for Fleet Performance The Hidden Costs of Marine Engine Vibrations Marine engine vibrations are more than just an inconvenience; they pose a serious risk to vessel efficiency, equipment longevity, and crew well-being. Excessive vibrations can accelerate wear and tear on key components, increase fuel consumption, and even lead Read more
