The Challenge

China offers scale. Dulunova adds structure.

Building a vessel in China can reduce cost and expand supplier options. But without the right project office, international clients face risks in technical alignment, shipyard selection, contract control, classification coordination, supplier qualification, communication and delivery supervision.

Dulunova Marine acts as a structured execution layer between international project owners and China’s shipbuilding and marine technology ecosystem.

What We Do

Marine Project Integration Services

We are not a conventional broker. We operate as a project office coordinating the technical, commercial and operational steps required to move a vessel project from idea to execution.

01

Project Definition & Feasibility

Route profile, passenger or vehicle capacity, speed, autonomy, operational hours, port interface, budget and timeline.

02

Naval Design Coordination

Coordination with naval architects and marine engineers for concept design, basic design, detailed design and documentation.

03

Shipyard Sourcing & Tender Support

Identification of suitable Chinese shipyards, RFQ preparation, proposal comparison and negotiation support.

04

Electric & Hybrid System Integration

Battery, propulsion, charging, power management, thermal management and safety coordination with qualified partners.

05

Procurement & Supplier Coordination

Main equipment, auxiliary systems, Chinese suppliers, documentation, inspection support and delivery coordination.

06

Newbuild Supervision & Delivery Support

Milestone tracking, site reporting, quality control coordination, sea trials, handover documentation and after-sales support.

Vessel Focus

Ferries, Workboats and Electric Vessels

Dulunova Marine supports international clients developing newbuild and modernization projects for commercial, public transport, river, coastal and port-related operations.

Passenger Ferries

City ferries, river ferries, island connections and short-route passenger operations.

RoPax & Vehicle Ferries

Passenger and vehicle ferry projects for river, coastal and regional transport routes.

Electric Ferries

Battery-electric ferry concepts, charging coordination and operational energy profile support.

Hybrid Vessels

Diesel-electric, battery-assisted and transitional propulsion concepts for real-world operations.

Workboats

Port support, service boats, technical transport, maintenance support and specialized vessels.

River & Remote-Region Vessels

Vessels adapted to inland waterways, emerging markets and demanding logistics environments.

01

Shipyard Selection

We help identify and compare shipyards according to vessel type, technical capability, delivery schedule and commercial fit.

02

Supplier Qualification

We coordinate the mapping and evaluation of propulsion, battery, auxiliary systems, equipment and fabrication suppliers.

03

Technical Communication

We reduce friction between international requirements and Chinese execution through structured communication and documentation flow.

04

On-Site Coordination

We support progress reporting, milestone follow-up, inspection coordination and issue escalation during construction.

Electric & Hybrid Marine

Planning an electric ferry project? Talk to Dulunova before selecting the shipyard.

Electric and hybrid vessels require early alignment between route profile, energy demand, battery sizing, propulsion, charging infrastructure, safety requirements and classification.

About Dulunova

International coordination for serious marine projects.

Dulunova Marine was created to help international clients access China’s shipbuilding and marine technology ecosystem with structure, technical coordination and commercial clarity.

Our role is to coordinate the project path: from early concept alignment and partner mapping to shipyard sourcing, supplier coordination, electrification partners, procurement and construction follow-up.

The name Dulunova is inspired by dùlún, the Chinese word associated with ferry boat, combined with nova: a new generation of marine projects executed through China’s industrial ecosystem.
