Marine electrical systems require precision, durability, and compliance with strict maritime regulations. We provide expert electrical installations for vessels of all sizes, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance. Our services include:

• New vessel electrical outfitting – Complete system design and installation for newly built ships.

• System upgrades & retrofits – Modernizing outdated electrical systems with the latest maritime technology.

• Navigation & communication system integration – Ensuring seamless operation of radar, sonar, and onboard communication networks.

• Marine automation & control systems – Installing intelligent control systems to enhance vessel efficiency and safety.

Electrical failures at sea can be catastrophic. Our thermographic inspections use infrared technology to detect potential electrical issues before they cause serious problems. This non-invasive method helps identify overheating components, overloaded circuits, and faulty connections. Our thermographic surveys provide:

• Early fault detection – Identifying issues before they result in costly breakdowns.

• Improved safety – Preventing electrical fires and equipment failures.

• Regulatory compliance – Ensuring adherence to safety standards set by IMO, ABS, and other regulatory bodies.

• Detailed reporting – Providing actionable insights to improve system reliability.

Regular maintenance is essential for preventing unexpected failures and ensuring safe operations. We offer customized maintenance plans designed to keep your vessel’s electrical systems in peak condition. Our services include:

• Scheduled system health checks – Detecting early signs of electrical wear and tear.

• Load testing & diagnostics – Verifying that power systems are functioning within operational limits.

• Component servicing & replacements – Maintaining circuit breakers, switchboards, and wiring for optimal performance.

• Predictive maintenance strategies – Using data-driven insights to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

A stable and efficient power distribution system is critical for marine operations. We design, install, and maintain electrical distribution networks that provide reliable power to all onboard systems. Our expertise includes:

• Main switchboards & distribution panels – Custom solutions for power management.

• Generator integration & backup systems – Ensuring uninterrupted power supply at sea.

• Load balancing & power optimization – Enhancing efficiency while reducing energy waste.

• Shore-to-ship power transitions – Implementing systems that seamlessly switch between onboard and shore power sources.

Marine environments pose unique electrical safety challenges. We install and maintain advanced safety systems to protect your vessel, crew, and cargo from electrical hazards. Our services include:

• Fire detection & suppression systems – Installing early warning and fire mitigation solutions.

• Emergency lighting & alarm systems – Ensuring visibility and alert capabilities in case of power failure.

• Grounding & bonding systems – Reducing electrical hazards and improving system reliability.

• Arc flash protection & risk assessment – Protecting personnel from high-energy electrical faults.

Ensuring that your vessel’s electrical systems meet regulatory requirements is essential for safe and legal operations. We help businesses navigate compliance standards by providing:

• Regulatory compliance audits – Ensuring adherence to IMO, ABS, USCG, and other maritime regulations.

• Electrical system certification – Assisting with classification society approvals and inspections.

• Testing & verification – Conducting comprehensive system tests to confirm compliance.

• Energy efficiency compliance – Helping vessels meet emissions and sustainability regulations.

Shore power solutions reduce fuel consumption and emissions while vessels are docked, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to onboard generators. We specialize in:

• Shore power system installation & upgrades – Connecting vessels to port-side electrical grids for clean energy usage.

• Load management & energy optimization – Reducing power fluctuations and improving system efficiency.

• Port-side electrical infrastructure design – Ensuring seamless integration between shipboard and land-based power.

• Emergency backup power solutions – Providing reliable contingency power during outages or docking operations.
