SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS – CLOSE COOPERATION
The Blue Edge Engineering GmbH in formation (BEE) provides engineering-driven advisory and execution services focused on resolving critical technical challenges, ensuring reliable implementation, and safeguarding organizational knowledge.
We believe that the most robust and sustainable solutions emerge from close collaboration. By working side by side with our clients’ experts and teams, we combine complementary experience, perspectives, and capabilities — because together we are stronger.
Our services combine deep technical expertise with structured methods and active technical involvement. They are designed to support clients in time-critical situations, complex projects, systematic problem resolution, and the sustainable transfer of expert and organizational knowledge.
Some services can optionally be supported by the Know-how Management System IKnowB® (Individualized Knowledge Base)
Time-Critical Troubleshooting and Rapid Resolution
„All Hands on Deck!“ – Troubleshooting: Rapid analysis and permanent resolution of critical technical failures to restore operational capability and minimise downtime costs. Optional: Development and implementation of strategies to prevent such failures from recurring in the long term (IKnowB®: Individualized Knowledge Base).
Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Action (RCCA)
RCCA: Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Action – Systematic root cause analysis with verified corrective actions. The corrective actions may relate to both technical aspects and planning and organisational factors. Optional: Development and implementation of a strategy to prevent recurrence in the long term (IKnowB®: Individualized Knowledge Base).
Project Implementation & Interim Management
Project and sub-project management, as well as active technical involvement throughout all project phases. A fixed-term assignment with line management responsibilities as part of an interim management arrangement may be the ideal implementation approach for you.
Energy Optimization of Overall Systems
Holistic energy optimization of complex technical systems such as ships, industrial plants, or technical facilities. The focus lies on the systematic analysis of energy flows, losses, and interactions between subsystems, as well as the derivation of technically sound and economically viable optimization measures.
Propulsion, manoeuvring, stabilisation, power generation and supply concepts
Structured development and evaluation of concepts for ships, taking into account technical feasibility, operational requirements, efficiency and life-cycle aspects. This includes concept studies, comparisons of variants and independent technical assessments in early design phases, as well as within the context of retrofit and modernisation projects.
The following is an illustrative list of what can be included.
Propulsion systems: Two-stroke and four-stroke engines, diesel, dual-fuel and pure gas engines, electric propulsion motors, …
Propulsion units: Fixed propellers, controllable-pitch propellers, surface-piercing propellers, pod propulsion systems, waterjets, auxiliary wind propulsion systems, …
Manoeuvring systems: Conventional rudders, fin rudders, rudder propellers, pump jets, …
Stabilisation systems: Non-retractable fins, retractable fins, in-flight stabilisation and at-anchor stabilisation based on the Magnus effect, at-anchor stabilisation with fins, roll tanks, …
Energy generation and supply concepts: Alternative fuels (LNG, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen), batteries and solar cells for lower power outputs.
Simulation of temporal processes
Simulation of temporal processes during load acceptance or load reduction in generators, propulsion and manoeuvring systems, as well as the motion behaviour of ships in interaction with, for example, tugs, mooring lines and anchor forces.

Explosion Protection Training
Delivery of explosion protection training in accordance with ATEX and IECEx regulations.
Ammonia awareness trainings
Awareness-raising campaigns on ammonia, focusing on its flammability and toxicity in relation to land-based applications, as well as for future use in the maritime sector as a marine fuel.
Expert Assessment Services
Independent expert assessment of technical matters based on sound engineering analyses, including technical evaluations, plausibility checks, damage and root cause analyses, and the preparation of expert reports and statements.
Individualized Knowledge Generation, Management & Transferr
Structured knowledge generation, including the systematic integration of existing expert and organizational knowledge, combined with validation and sustainable knowledge transfer – optionally supported by IKnowB®(Individualized Knowledge Base).
