Summary
Mikael Karlsson is a maritime engineering and operations leader with 14 years of hands-on experience and over 20 years working directly with ships and marine systems. As owner of Navitide AB and Navita Marinteknik, he now focuses on practical energy-saving and emissions-reduction solutions—heat recovery, HVAC optimization, LED retrofits and efficient lube oil/boiler management—for a more sustainable shipping sector. His recent roles at Stena RoRo combined technical management, CII/ETS sustainability oversight and fleet operations, plus rapid conversion project delivery (e.g., a 3-month Superfast 10 refit). He pairs shipboard commissioning and engineering experience—from First Engineer on FPSO/newbuild commissioning to welding and system installations—with commercial responsibilities like charter contract work and budget analysis. Based in Greater Gothenburg, Mikael blends hands-on systems knowledge with strategic fleet decarbonization work and maintains code/project presence on Bitbucket/GitLab. He’s notable for translating complex regulatory and technical constraints into pragmatic, fast-executable solutions that cut fuel use and emissions.
