Technical and commercial notes from the willbö engineering room. Honest writing on what's actually viable, what broke, and what we'd do differently on the next hull or the next plant. No white papers, no thought-leadership fluff — just working notes we'd want to read ourselves.
A technical and commercial read on MEA absorption, skid integration, and the EU ETS / FuelEU cash-flow logic for intra-EU ferries. Where the numbers work today, where they don't, and the three retrofit configurations we keep seeing on feasibility desks.

The willbö + Silecmar + Neuwalme consortium presented the launch at ASIME Vigo on 15 May 2026, with the Vigo Port Authority among attendees. The MRV layer behind CAPCO2 arrives aligned with the regulatory framework approved at IMO MEPC 84.
A walkthrough of the BOLT waterpark structural package — modular geometry, Tekla Structures fabrication drawings, and lift-on logistics at Meyer Turku.
The workflow we've validated with EPCs and owners, what breaks, and why the tree-view of linked docs matters more than the goggles.
Steel-grade selection, hull-form iteration and winterisation on a 113 m polar-class cruiser at Helsinki Shipyard. The non-obvious stuff owners ask about.
A complete concept-to-production package on a 76.6 m Bureau Veritas-classed tuna seiner at Murueta. Hull, outfitting, machinery — and the coordination layer Vigo–Mumbai.
The 2018 project that kicked off the company. What we under-scoped, what we over-engineered, and the checklist that made every subsequent EPC easier.
Where the 2015–2026 curve actually sits, which disciplines are losing money, and the outsourcing split that makes a mid-size CC engineering pack still viable.
CII rating delta, FuelEU exposure, retrofit CAPEX, OPEX uplift, payback window. The model behind our public tool, annotated.
How we schedule hand-offs, what gets tracked, and the time-zone practices that turn a classic offshore-delivery anti-pattern into a real pace advantage.
The three things we'll train you on and the two we won't. Why class-society intuition matters more than Rhino speed.
Marine, industrial, and a product update from CAPCO2 or holö. Written by the engineers on the projects. Zero marketing.
