Marine propulsion systems

Our extensive product base and experience in both ship design and propulsion and power systems integration, enables us to provide systems solutions or contribute to system selection, the interfacing of the propulsion system and equipment to the ship structure, ship services, auxiliary systems and ancillaries for both commercial and naval vessels - an approach well proven by Rolls-Royce with offshore vessel owners.

This means the right products are brought together so the propulsion and ancillary systems fully match the ship owner's operating requirements. Operational support is also simplified - as there is a single point of contact for service and spares.

In July 2008 we strengthened our capabilities in diesel electric and hybrid propulsion systems with the acquisition of Scandinavian Electric Holding, now the Power Electric Systems business unit of Rolls-Royce located in Bergen.
