Case studies

NH₃ Kraken – for Amogy

C-Job is helping to pave the way for a greener shipping industry as a knowledge partner for Amogy,a dedicated specialist in ammonia-based energy solutions. We helped integrate the company's revolutionary ammonia-to-power system into the tugboat NH₃ Kraken, and supported onsite execution activities at the shipyard, including modernization, construction, engine removal, and other challenges.

Green Jade – for CSBC

C-Job supported CSBC with basic design and main crane integration for the Green Jade, the first heavy lift and offshore wind installation vessel built in Taiwan. The vessel, which features a crane with 4,000 tons of lifting capacity and DP3 capability, was launched by CDWE, a joint venture between CSBC and DEME Offshore, and entered service in 2023.

C-Job and LH2 Europe – liquid hydrogen tanker

C-Job has worked in partnership with LH2 Europe to develop an initial design for a liquid hydrogen tanker of 141 meters with a storage capacity of 37,500 cubic meters. The tanker concept is a critical element in realizing a green end-to-end liquid hydrogen supply chain.

Walter van Harberden

Director at Padmos

Our longstanding relationship with C-Job means we work shoulder to shoulder with them, seamlessly extending our team to support us to deliver modern, efficient, and tailored engineering solutions and construction expertise to our clients.

TESO

TESO Spokesperson

Collaborating with C‑Job on Veronica V allowed us to refine the vessel’s design for some of the most demanding river conditions in the world. Their technical input supported our goal of delivering a shallow‑draft pusher that performs reliably year‑round for Girona S.A.

We lead the way encouraging potential stakeholders to embrace change and move things forward, both on the vessel design front and on the land-based infrastructure and supply side. One can’t come without the other.

C-Job, at its core, is a key player in sustainable ship design, worldwide. Sharing the same values with them naturally led to this cooperation.
