In August 2025, The Switch secured a new order for 12 units of its PMM2000M permanent magnet shaft generator, providing 4,210 kW of power at 50 rpm. These highly efficient and reliable shaft generators will be installed on a 18,200 TEU newbuild container vessel under construction at a South Korean shipyard.
This product was chosen for their ability to reduce operating costs and cut carbon emissions, supporting the shipowner’s sustainability and performance goals. Deliveries are scheduled between May 2026 and January 2028, with the first commissioning set for mid-2026.
“This project marks a significant order milestone. The Switch marine PM shaft generator order volume has now surpassed 500 units. Furthermore, it increases the total order volume from this shipowner to 36 large container vessels of 10,000 TEU class, reinforcing our position as a trusted supplier for the world’s top shipowners,” says Wang Yang, Key Account Manager at The Switch.
