USP Maritime is an independent marine engineering consultancy. Our team has had the privilege of working with some of the world’s top ship management companies and shipyards around the world.
As a team we have developed a pedigree of delivering within a niche of the yacht refit market; classic yacht revival. These projects are ambitious collaborations between owners with discerning tastes and a passion for traditional workmanship working hand in hand with project teams with flexibility, skill and patience to deliver the precise vision of their customers.
USP Maritime’s team has integrated itself into many such restoration projects and sat between traditional studios who sketch the owners plan for reviving these graceful classic yachts and the project teams tasked to deliver a renewed, revived yacht.
Working in conjunction with respected classification societies and flag states to achieve harmony with modern regulatory standards whilst retaining the historic character of a classic yacht is the beginning of our expertise and involvement in such projects advising both the owner and the shipyard team. USP is built upon our qualified naval architects and mechanical engineers who offer a uniquely experienced flexible and cost-effective engineering design service geared towards producing real, usable and practical design solutions and drawings.
Where redesign is necessary, the team ensures sympathy is given to the inherent grace of a classic and that cutting edge and safe solutions are integrated seamlessly. Using state of the art software, USP Maritime designs systems to suit a yachts usage requirements. These systems fundamentally ensure owners realise the potential of their yachts which is immensely satisfying for us in the office as we get to see these boats back in the water being used, enjoyed and admired as they should be.
Away from the industry buzz generated by the ultra-modern sleek super yachts that are rightly the pride of the industry, there has been a growing momentum for discrete and discerning owners, who are often established boat owners, to look towards reviving a classic yacht to reap the benefits of old time grace with modern safety, reliability and comfort.
USP Maritime’s team has been involved in a number of these projects and some are simply those that we admire. Some of the best and most exciting are:
