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.

The time is now for permanent magnet (PM) shaft generator believes Jan Backman, Sales Director of Finland's WE Tech. After years of groundwork transitioning the technology from wind turbines to marine engine shafts, WE Tech and Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch have demonstrated a powerful proof of concept that is fast catching on within key shipping segments.

Jussi Puranen and Ville Parpala outline the benefits of diesel-electric propulsion over diesel-mechanical propulsion for LNG vessels.
