With stricter environmental regulations coming into force, the shipping industry is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Electrical solutions are at the forefront of this green transition.

Hybrid Power Systems

Hybrid systems that combine traditional engines with battery storage are proving to be a game-changer. They allow vessels to operate more efficiently, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Shore Power Connectivity

Connecting to shore power while at port (cold ironing) eliminates emissions from auxiliary engines. We are seeing a surge in demand for retrofitting vessels with shore power connection systems.

Energy Efficient Lighting and Motors

Simple upgrades like switching to LED lighting and high-efficiency motors can have a significant cumulative impact on a vessel's overall energy consumption.
