Why reliability matters in marine electrification
The maritime industry is under growing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and comply with increasingly stringent regulations. As vessel owners invest in new technologies to support decarbonization, the focus should extend beyond purchase price alone.
For commercial vessels, operational availability is critical. A single equipment failure can result in off-hire periods, costly repairs, and unplanned dry-docking, with financial consequences that can far exceed the original cost of the equipment.
The Switch electric machines and power electronics are engineered specifically for marine applications where reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance are essential. Our permanent magnet technology helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions while supporting dependable vessel operations throughout the asset lifecycle.
With approximately 7 million operating hours accumulated and zero recorded vessel downtime incidents caused by our marine machines, The Switch solutions are designed to help shipowners reduce operational risk and achieve a lower total cost of ownership.
