Reliable emergency power for critical environments

From Bridge to Propeller

BOS Power delivers integrated marine propulsion systems for standardised vessel programs across the Nordics.

We act as a marine system integrator, combining mechanical, electrical and control systems into one coordinated propulsion architecture — supported by structured governance, local integration capability and long-term lifecycle support.

In addition to system delivery, BOS Power plays a key role in service, maintenance and operational support of marine propulsion systems across existing fleets.

BOS Power’s Approach to Standardised Fleet Programs

Standardised vessel programs involve multi-vessel fleet series developed under national acquisition frameworks.

These fleets are typically designed with:

Identical systems and equipment across vessels
Simplified training requirements
Standardised spare part management
Modular capability for sensors, payloads and mission systems
Flexibility to support both naval and coast guard operations

This creates a more reliable, flexible and cost-efficient fleet, while placing high demands on integration, governance, lifecycle support and supply chain robustness.

Our Approach:

Our Role as a Marine System Integrator

BOS Power acts as a marine system integrator from bridge to propeller.

Our role includes:

Advisory to define the required propulsion architecture
Mechanical, electrical and control system integration
Reduced supplier interface risk in the supply chain
Engineering coordination across disciplines
Established collaboration with Nordic shipyards

We support both newbuild programs and existing fleets, ensuring consistent system performance, maintainability and long-term operability.

Rather than supplying isolated components, we deliver integrated propulsion systems and support structures tailored for repeatability, scalability and lifecycle performance.

National Capability and Local Support

Standardised vessel programs place strong emphasis on national competence and supply security.

BOS Power contributes with:

Established marine engineering competence in the Nordic region
Documented experience in propulsion integration for defence-related projects
Collaboration with leading Nordic shipyards and builders
Local integration, project management and commissioning capability
Well-established service network across the Nordics
Local access to spare parts, technical expertise and support resources

We combine local presence with global OEM support, ensuring both responsiveness and long-term reliability.

Industrial Governance and Project Excellence

Standardised vessel programs require structured execution and clear governance.

BOS Power operates under a formal governance framework and stage-gate project model, ensuring:

Defined project phases and control points
Structured risk management
Cross-disciplinary engineering coordination
Compliance control and quality assurance
Transparent communication with shipyards and stakeholders

Through our Project Excellence framework, we ensure consistent execution across vessel series and alignment with shipyard and programme requirements.

Lifecycle Support and Fleet Reliability

Long-term operational capability depends on lifecycle support. BOS Power provides:

24/7 technical support and service availability
Local service stations and certified partners
Spare parts logistics and availability
Upgrade pathways and system modernisation
Digital diagnostics and monitoring solutions
Lifecycle cost (LCC) optimisation and advisory

We support both planned maintenance and operational readiness, ensuring predictable performance and long-term fleet resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a standardised vessel program?

A standardised vessel program involves the design and delivery of multiple vessels built on a shared platform with identical or highly similar systems.

This approach simplifies operations, reduces training requirements and improves spare part management, while enabling scalability and long-term fleet efficiency.

What does a marine system integrator do?

A marine system integrator ensures that engines, electrical systems, control systems and propulsion components function as one coordinated system.

This reduces interface risk between suppliers, improves overall system performance and ensures that the propulsion architecture is aligned with vessel requirements from an early stage.

How does BOS Power support defence-related vessel programs?

BOS Power supports vessel programs by delivering integrated propulsion systems, structured project execution and long-term lifecycle support.

We combine propulsion expertise with local integration capability, governance frameworks and established collaboration with Nordic shipyards.

What is through-life support in marine propulsion?

Through-life support refers to the ongoing maintenance, upgrades and optimisation of propulsion systems throughout the vessel’s operational life.

This includes technical support, spare parts, system upgrades and performance monitoring, often over a period of 20–30 years or more.

How does governance improve project delivery in vessel programs?

Structured governance ensures that projects are delivered with defined processes, risk management and clear accountability.

In multi-vessel programs, this reduces uncertainty, improves coordination between stakeholders and ensures consistent delivery across the fleet.

Are mtu engines compatible with alternative fuels?

Many mtu marine engines are compatible with alternative fuels such as HVO, enabling reduced emissions without compromising reliability.

This allows vessel operators to transition gradually while maintaining proven propulsion performance.
