The Switch received a package order in February 2025 to supply its PMM1000M shaft generator and single-drive package to four newbuild 140-meter-long, 12,000 dwt multipurpose vessels (MPP), with an option for two additional vessels.
The Switch PMM1000M’s slim design features a slightly smaller cooling unit, ensuring a better fit within the engine room. The vessels are designed to meet EEDI Phase 3 and IMO Tier III NOx emissions requirements. Deliveries are scheduled between November 2025 and February 2026.
Juha Tennivaara, Vice President Sales at The Switch, highlights the advantages of the PMM and single-drive combination: “With our package, we offer a fully integrated solution designed for seamless operation while meeting all class regulations. Often, differential protection can be challenging when the PM shaft generator and single drive come from different suppliers.”
By ensuring compatibility between components, The Switch simplifies commissioning and makes operations more efficient when key components come from the same supplier.
