Pato Marine

Pato Marine is a European marine design and engineering company established in Romania in 2021, near the Black Sea. Its team of engineers has expertise in naval architecture and ship systems, with experience in design, onboard surveys, and supervising the installation of ship systems. The company supports maritime and offshore projects through 3D laser scanning, point cloud processing, and related consulting. It can process scans collected by its team or supplied by clients, using FARO equipment and software that supports multiple scan formats.

Pato Marine applies these services to ship retrofits, conversions, inspections, and newbuild projects. Its engineering support includes consulting on ballast water treatment and scrubber systems, as well as basic and detailed engineering. Other applications include equipment replacement, ship reconversions, hull research, cargo-volume assessment, and comparisons between as-built vessels and design plans. The company notes that 3D scanning can help establish a basis for retrofit planning and support digital applications such as digital twins and virtual reality.
