About the Talking Point
Fuel costs and emission regulations are reshaping the economics of shipping. Permanent magnet (PM) shaft generators offer a proven way to reduce operating expenses while meeting IMO’s tightening CII and EEXI requirements.
By leveraging your vessel’s main engine for power generation, PM technology delivers higher efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and significant lifetime savings—without the complexity and maintenance of conventional systems.
