Electric Propulsion

Complete electric propulsion systems designed around your vessel and operating requirements

When is electric propulsion the right choice?

Electric propulsion is particularly relevant when a vessel can complete most of its operation using energy stored in the battery system and has suitable charging opportunities between operations.

Key factors to consider

  • Operating profile
  • Energy demand
  • Battery capacity
  • Charging opportunities
  • Available shore power
  • Vessel weight and space constraints

Electric propulsion for low- and zero-emission operations

Using electric power for propulsion together with onboard energy storage enables vessels to operate with reduced or zero local emissions during battery-powered operation.

Suitable for applications such as
  • Passenger vessels
  • Ferries
  • Crew transfer vessels
  • Work boats
