Looking Ahead to 2026 – 40 Years of d2m Engineering

Warmest Wishes for 2026 - 40 Years of d2m Engineering

2026 - 40 Years of Engineering

In 2026, d2m celebrates 40 years of offshore engineering expertise as part of the STAPEM Group.

For four decades, our teams have been supporting complex offshore and maritime projects worldwide, combining technical rigor, operational understanding and long-term commitment to clients. This journey has been shaped by international cooperation and the ability to work efficiently across cultures, disciplines and geographies.

Engineering Built on Complementary Expertise

Over the years, d2m has developed its engineering expertise through the integration of complementary core disciplines. Naval architecture, hydrodynamics, anchoring and mooring, hull structures and marine systems are brought together within a single organisation to deliver coherent and well-informed technical solutions.

This integrated approach enables d2m to support large-scale offshore developments in a wide range of operating environments, while maintaining consistent engineering standards and a clear focus on safety, performance and reliability.

Agility and International Engineering Teams

d2m operates as an agile and human-sized engineering company, able to adapt its resources, organisation and methods to each project context. This flexibility allows our teams to respond efficiently to varying technical scopes, schedules and operational constraints, while maintaining a high level of engineering consistency.

Working daily with international engineering teams, global clients and long-term partners requires clarity, trust and shared technical references. Combined with an independent engineering mindset, this approach enables d2m to align diverse expertise around common objectives, support its clients’ interests with objectivity, and foster effective cooperation across borders, cultures and disciplines.

Engineering for the Energy Transition in a Global Context

The evolution of offshore infrastructures and the energy transition are now inseparable from engineering practice. At d2m, this translates into concrete engineering work across the full energy chain: optimisation of hull forms and operational profiles, recovery and valorisation of waste heat, integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind assistance or wave energy, and the evaluation of alternative fuels including LNG, methanol, hydrogen or ammonia.

These challenges are addressed through international project teams, combining diverse engineering cultures around a shared technical framework. As Jonathan Huet, Deputy Managing Director, states: “Multicultural collaboration at d2m is not about differences, but about the ability to create a common engineering language that allows teams from different backgrounds to work together efficiently, safely and with a clear focus on performance.”

As d2m enters its 40th year, this approach remains central to the way we support complex offshore and maritime projects worldwide, by combining robust engineering, independent technical judgement and close cooperation with clients and partners in an increasingly interconnected energy landscape.
