Shipping power and cooling for vessels and marine operations
Keep your maritime operations running. Without interruption. Ports are moving faster. Vessels are under pressure. Energy demand is rising. We design, deploy and optimise power and cooling solutions that keep your operations running; efficiently, reliably, and wherever you need them.
Built for modern shipping operations
Shipping has changed. Throughput is higher. Energy demand is more complex. Expectations around uptime are absolute.
That means power and cooling can’t be an afterthought. They need to perform as reliably as the operation they support.
You don’t just need power.
You need performance you can depend on.

Power solutions that move with you
From port to open sea, we provide power solutions aligned to the realities of maritime operations.
Whether you are managing port-side infrastructure, supporting vessels during maintenance, or increasing onboard capacity during peak demand, we ensure power is always aligned to your needs.
Our experience spans:
- Port operations during upgrades or limited grid availability
- Docked vessels requiring stable onboard power for maintenance activities
- Reefer-heavy operations with increased load demand
- Dry dock environments with complex, high-load requirements
- Load bank testing across a full range of power outputs
For vessels in lay-up, we provide dependable power to maintain essential systems; supporting asset integrity and ensuring readiness without relying on main engines.
Cooling solutions that protect performance
Marine environments place constant pressure on equipment. Heat and humidity don’t just reduce efficiency they create risk.
Our chiller-based cooling solutions are engineered to maintain stable operating conditions across critical systems. From onboard equipment to cargo environments, we help you stay in control of temperature, performance and reliability.
The result is simple: protected assets, consistent operation and fewer disruptions.

Shipping FAQ
01
Cooling solutions, particularly chillers, maintain stable temperatures for onboard systems and sensitive equipment. This supports safe operation, protects assets and ensures consistent performance.
02
Shipping power solutions provide reliable onboard and portside energy to support vessel operations, maintenance activities and cargo handling. They ensure critical systems continue to operate without interruption.
03
Maritime operations depend on continuous power for navigation systems, cargo handling and onboard equipment. Reliable power supports operational efficiency, reduces disruption and helps maintain throughput.
04
When a vessel is out of service, lay-up power maintains essential onboard systems. This helps preserve equipment condition and ensures the vessel can return to operation without unnecessary delays or degradation.
05
Power solutions provide a stable energy source for onboard systems, maintenance work and cargo operations while vessels are in port, without placing additional demand on onboard generation.
06
Yes. Power solutions are designed to scale with your requirements, whether supporting low-load maintenance activities or high-demand cargo operations.
07
Deployment timelines depend on location and scope, but global equipment availability and experienced teams allow for rapid mobilisation when required.
08
Solutions are tailored for a wide range of vessels, including container ships, FPSOs, offshore platforms and naval vessels.
09
By providing stable power and controlled cooling, these solutions reduce operational strain, protect equipment and enable consistent performance across maritime operations.
