Powerful GenSets for onboard emergency power supply

At the heart of our emergency power solutions are highly efficient Cat GenSets, renowned for their quick-start capability. In the event of a main power failure, these generators can start operation in less than 45 seconds. This is made possible by an advanced system of sensors and automatic control units that continuously monitor onboard voltage and respond immediately in an emergency. The generators can sustain onboard operations for up to 15 hours.

Our GenSets handle every challenge

Our GenSets are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions at sea. They feature corrosion-resistant materials that endure aggressive saltwater environments and advanced vibration damping systems to counteract the constant motion of the ship. The power range of these generators spans from compact 50 kW units for smaller vessels to megawatt-class systems for large commercial or cruise ships.

Flexible and easy integration

We offer emergency power solutions in standardized containers that are quick to install, easy to maintain, and simple to replace if needed. Our containerized solutions are particularly appealing for retrofits or temporary applications, offering high adaptability to various ship types and sizes.

Using emergency diesel generators as harbor diesel

Our emergency generators can be operated as emergency harbor diesel or auxiliary diesel, for instance, to replace a shore connection. In this mode, exhaust aftertreatment is required, and the generator is classified as an auxiliary diesel. We are happy to assist you in planning such configurations.

SOLAS-compliant turnkey solutions for maritime emergency power supply

Turnkey solutions from a single source

In addition, we offer turnkey solutions. These comprehensive systems include not only the emergency generators themselves but also all necessary peripheral systems such as fuel supply, cooling systems, exhaust systems, and electrical switchgear. Our solutions are custom-designed, delivered, and installed, providing shipowners and shipyards with a seamless, turnkey solution that integrates effortlessly into the existing ship infrastructure.

Remote monitoring for enhanced safety

Our state-of-the-art digital control systems enable fully automated operation and can be integrated into overarching ship management systems. They offer extensive remote monitoring and control capabilities, enhancing operational safety while enabling predictive maintenance. This significantly increases the availability and lifespan of the systems.

SOLAS-compliant emergency power solutions

Another important aspect is compliance with international regulations. Our emergency power solutions not only meet the stringent SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) requirements but are also certified by leading classification societies. This provides shipowners and operators with the assurance that their emergency power systems comply with all legal and safety standards.

The emergency diesel, an indispensable companion

Emergency power systems, also known as emergency diesel generators, are a crucial safety feature in maritime operations and are found on a wide range of vessel types. Their presence is particularly vital to ensure onboard safety in the event of a main engine failure or power outage.

Vessel types commonly equipped with emergency diesel generators

Given the large number of people on board passenger ships, a reliable power supply is crucial. Emergency diesel generators ensure lighting, communication, and the operation of vital systems such as ventilation and pumps.

Cargo ships are also equipped with emergency diesel generators to protect the cargo and ensure crew safety. High safety standards are especially mandatory for the transport of hazardous goods.

Ferries regularly transport passengers and vehicles and are therefore also equipped with emergency diesel generators to ensure safe evacuation in case of an emergency.

The emergency diesel generator is crucial for onboard safety, as it powers vital systems such as lighting, communication, and pumps. It also plays an important role in environmental protection by driving pumps to prevent water ingress into the ship in the event of a leak, thereby minimizing potential environmental pollution.
