Marine - Stairon

Marine – Managing special requirements for new construction projects and modernization

The maritime industry demands exceptional reliability, safety, and long-term durability from structures.

We support our customers’ shipbuilding and marine systems projects by delivering complex structures, components, and assemblies that meet the stringent quality and material requirements of the maritime industry and classification societies.

Our extensive material expertise and experience in manufacturing large, precision assemblies enable versatile deliveries for both new construction projects and modernization initiatives.

Our delivery portfolio includes, among others, LNG double-hull structures, propulsion system components and hull structures, cranes and lifting/transfer equipment, telescopic booms, flue gas scrubbers, ducting, piping, and non-pressurized tanks — all manufactured and documented in accordance with customer specifications.

CASE: SMO Lining

Lifecycle services

Stairon’s professionals carried out challenging lining work using rope access in cruise ship exhaust stacks, which reached heights of up to 70 meters. The work was performed entirely suspended by ropes – personnel, welding equipment, and steel components were lowered into the stack using harnesses and ropes.

Safety was the top priority: employees were trained in rope access under the guidance of mountaineering specialist Ari Piela, and there were always multiple safety spotters on site. Hot conditions, strong airflows, and loose debris presented challenges, but these were managed with proper protective equipment and careful planning.

In practice, this is a rare example of extremely technical and high-risk industrial work, combining advanced professional skills, rope access techniques, and extensive international experience.

Scope of Delivery

• Lining work on internal structures of cruise ship exhaust stacks

CASE: Rolls Royce

Contract Manufacturing

Stairon delivered over thousand propulsion system components to Rolls Royce. The delivery included a variety of assemblies, utilizing welding, machining, and heat treatment to meet demanding technical requirements.

The project highlighted Stairon’s capability to handle large series, maintain tight tolerances, and ensure high-quality final structures all under one roof.

Scope of Delivery

• Hull fittings
• Upper gear housing
• Lower gear housings

The five corner stones of our work

Exceptionally large modular production facilities

Our two large factories and modularity enable greater capacity for individual projects, regardless of their duration. The additional space in our factory eliminates the need for extra logistics or external warehousing. Modularity and space mean factories within a factory.

1

Material supply

Proactive material sourcing and in-house warehousing combined with in-house further processing significantly reduces delays in our customer projects. This means reliable delivery.

2

Data

Our experience and development in collecting production data facilitates sustainability and compliance reporting for our customers. Data sharing can be customised according to customer and project needs. To us, sustainability is concrete.

3

Experience and expertise

We are familiar with the specific characteristics and requirements of various industries. We adapt our process to the customer's needs – not the other way around. Our modern and adaptable production process scales effectively and enables predictable project management, regardless of production volumes. Project simulation, stage by stage, allows for proactive scheduling and resource planning. The customer gets what they order, for the agreed-upon price.
