Problem we are solving
The way to zero emission for light-built vessels meets both new regulatory constraints and physical bottlenecks to reach the goal. We therefore need to tackle the weight and efficiency challenges by an optimised design, choosing lighter components and driving innovation on more lightweight solutions like the Brim Tech Direct Drive solution. Our innovations in electric ship design and propulsion are leading the way to more efficient vessels.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
More energy efficient "electric by design" bottom up approach.
