Electrific shipping
ships with electric drives
E-mobility is the future course in shipping. Ships, ferries, tugs and yachts will use alternative systems in the coming years. In order to achieve the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) goal of reducing CO2 emissions caused by shipping by at least 50 percent by 2050 compared to 2008, companies need innovative ideas and competent partners for marine propulsion systems. With the high-voltage solutions for the maritime sector from in-Tec Bensheim, yachts and hybrid sailors and other electric ships can safely set sail.
These are the programmes and measures currently being developed by the IMO's Environment Committee (MEPC) to achieve the emissions target for shipping:
Information about the Initial IMO GHG StrategyThe time is green for shipping. Ships with combustion engines are no longer allowed to enter some "Restricted Areas". This means new challenges for the shipbuilding industry, and private ship owners are also increasingly considering electric and hybrid engines.
We are happy to provide support and make ships ready for the green future.
To realise maritime projects, we work with experienced partners and suppliers, e.g. to supply the necessary technology for electric ship propulsion systems. For some complex requirements, especially in the cabling and connection of the various components, our specialists are in close contact with the experienced engineers of the in-Tec Project & Competence Center.
Whether electric ships and hybrid vessels, fleets or individual projects, the demand is high. We are doing our part to help meet the challenge of zero-emission shipping. We support various players in the shipping industry.

Electric and hybrid ships are among the key approaches to reducing emissions in maritime transport. We can implement your projects in the commercial sector in a RINA-compliant manner if required. Contact us!
RINA GERMANY is a recognised organisation that carries out inspections and issues legally required certificates. The classification requirements are laid down in the "RINA Regulations for the Classification of Ships".
The combustion engine is a discontinued model. What is the ship drive of the future? In addition to all-electric drives, there are also hybrid models. Ships with hybrid propulsion can run on electricity as well as on a combustion engine. The batteries provide additional energy when needed. The all-electric drive works with the energy from batteries. Another technology is hybrid hydrogen ship propulsion.
