We’re proud to announce that our permanent magnet (PM) machines lead the market for direct-drive shaft generators.
Since 2015, more than 100 vessels have gone to sea with our technology and more than 270 shaft generator orders have been placed. Currently, we deliver tens of machines annually to shipyards via our system integrator customers.
What makes our PM machines stand out?
1. Well-proven technology
Our PM technology was already well proven in the wind industry before we brought it to the marine market. Then in 2015, we delivered the world’s first megawatt-class PM shaft generator. Now our technology is well proven in the marine industry. We have the largest number of successful cases in this field.
2. Well-proven reliability
Our product reliability speaks for itself: NO product failures to date.
Our manufacturing operations translate our technology into the highest-quality products. Moreover, we test each machine in our purpose-built testing center and offer customers the opportunity to request tests of other components or string tests.
We bring the highest proven reliability to the marine industry, where safety and dependability are crucial. This is why our marine customers keep coming back and new customers can trust us.
3. Longest reference list
Our PM machines are recognized as top-of-the-line machines for shaft generators. Our customers include the world’s best-known shipowners.
And more than 25 different shipyards around the world have installed our technology in a wide variety of vessels, including:
- LNG carriers
- LPG carriers
- Oil/chemical tankers
- Container vessels
- Car carriers
- Bulk and product carriers
- Fishing vessels
