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 years, G&O has set the global standard in vibration management for maritime applications. Our vibration compensators, engineered for both vertical and horizontal vibration modes, are trusted by leading shipowners and shipyards alike to ensure optimal performance, extended equipment life, and improved crew welfare.
Setting the Standard Since the 1980s
From our origins in the 1980s to today’s complex retrofit and newbuild environments, we’ve remained at the forefront of vibration control technology. Our products are designed, tested, and built for the real-world conditions faced by vessels operating in some of the toughest environments on the planet.
“We’ve evolved alongside the maritime industry, developing new solutions in close collaboration with engine designers, naval architects, and shipyards to meet changing operational demands and regulatory requirements”, says Jens Ulrik Nielsen, Head of Sales.
Global reach, local support
With strategically located hubs across the globe, our staff, highly specialised in engines, and our global service organisation ensure rapid delivery, efficient commissioning, and ongoing support. Whether it’s a new installation at a Korean yard or an urgent exchange in port, we’re positioned to respond fast.
“We understand the rhythm of the shipbuilding cycle and the expectations of Korean yards,” Jens Ulrik Nielsen concludes: “That’s why we’ve placed experienced engineers and key inventory close to where our customers need us most.”
A Technology Partner You Can Trust
As technology frontrunners, we don’t just keep pace with innovation—we drive it. Our vibration compensators are energy-efficient, compact, and designed for long operational lifespans with minimal maintenance. With over 1,300 installations worldwide, shipowners count on G&O not just to solve problems, but to prevent them.
Korean shipyards are renowned for precision, speed, and quality. At G&O Compensators, we match that standard—bringing the same level of commitment to performance, safety, and innovation in everything we deliver.
