Electrification is for everyone
Diesel and petroleum-powered vessels have for a long time dominated the technology used for maritime transportation. Today, though, the industry is facing an inflection point. Why is it so, and how to be prepared for it? Find out in this latest marine blog post.
A green rescue for reefers with PM shaft generators
Over the past decades, there’s been a dramatic increase in the amount of sea freight being shipped – now over 80% of all cargo is transported overseas. In increasing frequency, companies need to maintain major energy-consuming vessels to cool and ship meat, fruits and vegetables to global markets.
Trends in the shaft generator business
In the early 2010s, our wind business slowed down and forced us to find new applications for our permanent magnet (PM) technology. We gravitated to marine power generation and propulsion.
