Selected professional marine engineering experience and practical technical insights behind Torven Marine.
Covering commercial shipping, superyachts, new builds, commissioning, troubleshooting and vessel operations — informed by real projects and practical engineering judgement.
Selected new-build, commissioning and operational experience demonstrating the engineering judgement behind Torven Marine.
From major yacht construction and owner-side commissioning to long-term responsibility after delivery, these projects demonstrate experience across the complete vessel lifecycle.
View Experience →54-metre new build at Mariotti in Genoa, followed by approximately ten years of operational continuity as rotational Chief Engineer.
Owner-side Chief Engineer through final construction, commissioning, acceptance, delivery and transition into operation of an 80-metre new build.
Operational engineering, planned-maintenance development and technical improvement during the vessel's transition to a new owner.
Practical engineering guidance, lessons from the field and perspectives shaped by real-world marine experience.
A look back at three very different yacht new-build experiences, and the engineering lesson in why the least famous of the three mattered most.
Read insight →A successful factory test does not prove that equipment will perform correctly once connected to a vessel's complete mechanical, electrical and control systems.
Read insight →A fault that keeps coming back usually wasn't actually fixed the first time. Here's how a root-cause investigation differs from a standard repair.
Read insight →Pulsation and unusual noise in a hydraulic system are rarely caused by one single thing. This is a practical walk-through of where to look, and why.
Read insight →Independent support for machinery faults, commissioning issues and engineering questions.
Discuss a Project →Project insights will be added as our work develops.
