Visedo Tuesday announced that it has signed partnership deals with Kongsberg Evotec (Kongsberg) and Veth Propulsion which will see the manufacturer deliver electrification for new marine applications.

"We're proud to be offering the marine industry more options to fully electrify their on-board equipment and lessen fuel costs and associated emissions. The revolution to electrify more marine applications rolls on," said Kimmo Rauma, Visedo CEO.

"From a company standpoint, it's also fantastic to be collaborating with one of the world's biggest players in this marine industry segment. We know that our technology is market-leading, but it's great to have it recognised by a partner with such market access and influence."

Under the agreement with Kongsberg, Visedo will develop and produce power solutions for fully-integrated electric deck handling winches.

"We are happy to work closely with Visedo in getting new innovative solutions into the Marine handling market. In particular we are very much focused on developing weight and space-saving solutions, that at the same time remain competitive," said Steinar Aabelvik, General Manager of Kongsberg Evotec.

Under the agreement with Veth Propulsion, Visedo will produce electric-powered thrusters featuring Visedo's market-leading permanent magnet (PM) motor technology.

Visedo says it has worked with Veth Propulsion to develop an Integrated L-Drive - a highly compact, high-efficiency electric propulsion solution capable of a power range of 300kW to 1,325kW.

"As well as delivering hybrid and electric solutions for primary propulsion solutions of marine vessels, Visedo is now ensuring thruster power can be delivered with zero-emissions and lower fuel costs," said Rauma.

"Visedo's partnership with leading international marine power provider Veth Propulsion will set a new standard for high-performance thrusters in terms of overall energy delivery and power-to-weight/space efficiency."
