From the North Sea to the Rhine: We are always close by
Zeppelin Power Systems has a broad service network with a particular focus on marine-relevant locations. The headquarters in Hamburg forms the heart of this network and serves as the central service hub for the maritime industry. Thanks to its proximity to the Port of Hamburg, one of the largest seaports in Europe, this location offers optimal conditions for fast and efficient service in maritime shipping.
Another key location is Duisburg, strategically located at the largest inland port in Europe. Here, the expertise for inland shipping is concentrated, with specialized technicians for propulsion systems on rivers and canals. The unique position at the confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers makes this location an important hub for inland shipping services.
In Achim near Bremen, Zeppelin Power Systems operates a site specializing in the needs of coastal shipping and offshore applications. Its proximity to the North Sea makes it an essential base for maritime customers, especially for fishing and offshore wind farm service fleets.
This network is further complemented by a highly mobile service fleet. Specially equipped service vehicles enable technicians to respond flexibly and quickly to customer requirements and carry out maintenance and repairs directly on-site – whether aboard a ship or at a port.
To minimize downtime, Zeppelin Power Systems maintains strategically located spare parts warehouses at all marine-relevant locations. These ensure quick availability of critical components, contributing to maximizing operational uptime for customer fleets.
The company’s training centers, particularly in Hamburg and Duisburg, offer specialized training for ship crews and service personnel. Customers and internal staff are trained in operating and maintaining the latest maritime technologies, enhancing efficiency and reliability in ship operations.
All locations are digitally interconnected, enabling rapid exchange of expertise and resources. Modern remote diagnostic tools allow technicians to quickly identify and resolve issues, often without the need for physical presence onboard.
