About

Mr. Bruce Cowper formed LamaLo Technology in December 1997, specializing in marine propulsion systems.  Mr. Cowper has worked on over 100 different marine propulsion shaftlines and has over 30 years of professional experience in the conduct of applied engineering services for the marine and Arctic offshore.  All stages of project work have been conducted, including design, construction, and testing.  Results from a number of technically significant and challenging projects have been presented at professional forums and societies.

​Starting in 2021, LLT has partnered with Zac Schramm to form LamaLo USA, LLP (LLUSA),  a Delaware Limited Liability Partnership.  Zac is based in San Diego, CA and started working with LLT in 2014.  Zac has been a significant part of LLT's recent success.

LamaLo Technology has access to a number of subcontractors that can provide specialized technical skills to compliment the existing services.  These include marine propulsion system design, construction, testing, and instrumentation.

D.N. Bruce Cowper, P.Eng.
President
Mr. Cowper graduated with a Bachelors of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1982. From 1982 to 1984, Bruce worked as a Research and Project Engineer in the Marine Engineering Department of Canadian Marine Drilling Limited. From 1984 to 1997 he worked as a Project/Research Engineer for "Arctec", now part of British Marine Technology Group.  In 1997 Bruce formed LamaLo Technology Inc. to provide complete engineering solutions for shafting alignment, vibration and powering - including design review, theoretical analysis and measurements.  Bruce has worked on over 120 different vessels, ranging from 30 m long 2.4 MW tug boats, to 290 m long 48 MW Ro-Ro vessels, and has been on over 60 sea trials in diverse conditions and environments, including the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River, North Pacific, North Atlantic, Arctic Ocean, Beaufort Sea, Antarctic, Weddell Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Malacca Strait, and South China Sea.
Zac Schramm, P.E.
Senior Engineer
Mr. Schramm graduated with a Bachelors of Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois in Urbana / Champaign in 2005.  In 2009 Zac earned his Professional Engineering license from the State of California in Mechanical Engineering.  Zac worked with General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, CA as a mechanical engineer in the systems engineering group from 2007 to 2014 focused on propulsion, steering, and thruster systems.  Since, Zac has worked on a wide variety of vessels worldwide with LamaLo and co-authored several papers with Bruce.
 
He is a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, SNAME, since 2007 and active on the M-16 Propulsion Shafting Technology & Research panel.  Zac also enjoys competitive sailing, often as navigator, on offshore ocean races such as the Transpac.
Ross Clamp,
Principal Engineer
Mr. Clamp has over 35 years of experience in the marine and shipbuilding industry in the following areas: project management, trade management, planning, mechanical systems engineering, installations, new construction and repair trades management. Ross was influential in development of highly successful installation and repair strategies as well as cross functional build strategy teams for marine propulsion and auxiliary systems at several shipyards in North America.  He also worked with many investigative teams to determine root cause and resolution for failure of propulsion shafting systems and components. He continues to be noted for quality, integrity, competency, and efficiency with a focus on safety.  Ross began his career in the US Navy.
