In today’s naval and offshore environment, projects demand more than isolated technical capability. Regulatory complexity has increased, assets are operating beyond their original design assumptions, pressure for structural and energy efficiency is constant, and the energy transition adds new variables to the landscape.

In this context, what truly creates value is not just specialized knowledge, but the combination of technical depth, accumulated international experience, and coordinated execution capability.

Longitude embodies precisely this structure.

About Longitude

With more than 200 Engineering and Design consultants across 15 countries, 3,800 completed projects, and 140 vessel design projects developed throughout its history, Longitude has built a robust and cross-disciplinary technical foundation. This experience represents not only delivery volume, but a consolidated library of solutions applied across multiple regulatory, operational, and geographic environments.

As highlighted by Jake Anderson, CEO of Longitude:

“With the integration of Proper Marine in Brazil, we have more than doubled our capacity to deliver projects worldwide across Facilities and Subsea Engineering, Offshore Wind, Naval Architecture, and Maritime Operations Engineering.”

In practical terms, this means enhanced technical mobilization capacity, broader access to global specialists, and integrated collaboration across disciplines that, in fragmented structures, would typically operate in isolation.

Areas of Expertise

For clients and partners in South America, Longitude in Brazil operates as a strategic technical hub within this global network. The regional operation delivers projects in the following areas:

• Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering

• Offshore and Topsides Structural Engineering

• Asset Integrity and Life Extension applying FEA and Digital Twin

• Renewable Energy and Energy Transition

• Maritime Operations and Consultancy

According to Bernardo Xavier, co-founder of Proper Marine and current leader at Longitude:

“We are now part of a global multidisciplinary team, with offices across Europe, the United Kingdom, France, Singapore, Houston, among others. We have become part of an extremely knowledge-rich network.”

This network is not merely institutional — it directly impacts applied engineering.

For shipowners, operators, shipyards, and EPCI contractors, this translates into three tangible benefits: greater technical robustness in critical decisions, reduced interfaces between disciplines, and increased predictability in the execution of complex projects.

Particularly in challenges related to life extension, decarbonization, asset repurposing, and the integration of new technologies, the ability to combine structural engineering, advanced analysis, maritime operations, and global strategic vision becomes decisive.

Conclusion

Longitude in Brazil and South America maintains operational proximity and a deep understanding of the regional regulatory and industrial environment.

At the same time, it operates fully connected to a consolidated international structure. This combination offers clients something that goes beyond local technical capability: it delivers integrated engineering with global scale.
