ICE has a long tradition in cooperating with the Engineering and Naval Architecture Faculties of the “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, Romania, from where many of the Group’s Romanian employees received their academic degrees.

ICE will present the paper “Managing Design of Complex Ships” at a Maritime Project Management conference arranged in London by the prestigious Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) on 24-25 February 2016.

The marine industry’s increasing search for cost-effective design services is gradually making more people aware of what ICE has to offer. This awareness has also made the media take a look at ICE, as shown in the press cuttings below.

Logistic and organization are two most important things for successfully running a warehouse. Warehouse must be optimized for fast loading on the trucks and unloading from them on the arrival. There is no place for mistakes, because if one truck has to wait a minute too long, ten after them will have to wait as well. Just image what would happen if a cargo would get misplaced, or if it wouldn’t be accessible for forklift to pick it up.

“2015 was difficult; 2016 will be brutal”; so proclaimed a headline in a recent offshore oil & gas industry newsletter. For many shipyards and oil service companies that ominous prediction may well be correct. As a designer of drill ships, FPSOs and other oil service vessels, we are conscious of the difficulties in that industry. However, ICE has huge experience also in sectors that are less impacted by the low oil price; thus we are now pursuing marine design work for the defence and other industries. Providing high quality engineering at very competitive prices is an advantage at a time when most clients are keen to reduce costs. Our solid finances enable us to invest in increased productivity and to continue to develop in-house designs. I therefore look forward to 2016 with confidence and cautious optimism. I wish our customers, employees, business associates and other friends all the best for the New Year!
