In this presentation, Ville Parpala and José Gálvez discover how you can reach greater savings, access zero-emission areas and increase the comfort on a superyacht or an arctic explorer.

Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch shines a light on how to produce electricity efficiently on ships.

A suite of unique protection devices ensures safety and decarbonization with DC distribution.

Jonna Tiainen quit academia to become a thermal design specialist and make shipping more sustainable.

A new technology brings ultra-fast protection to DC distribution with secure ride-through operations.

Berg Propulsion has signed a key supplier and cooperation agreement to provide systems integration capability for Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch permanent magnet (PM) and power electronics products. The cooperation creates a new and combined force offering the robustness and efficiency of propulsion systems where electric motors directly drive the propeller shaft, consolidating Berg’s growing presence in electric propulsion.

Yaskawa Environmental Energy/The Switch has supplied more than 100 permanent magnet machines (PMMs) for in-line shaft generators of various frame sizes since 2014. The Finnish-based company claimed to also have a large order backlog for large LNG and LPG carriers. Ian Cochran investigates.
