Cat has systems
Caterpillar Marine has successfully closed its acquisition of Johan Walter Berg AB, enabling Caterpillar to now offer complete propulsion systems to the commercial marine market. The firm’s core brand, Berg Propulsion, is a leading manufacturer of mechanically and electrically driven propulsion systems and marine controls for ships.
As a result of the acquisition completion, all Berg Propulsion products will be rebranded as Caterpillar. The new Cat Propulsion System for optimized bundles and propulsion packages includes controllable pitch propellers, transverse thrusters, azimuth thrusters, aftermarket parts and remote control systems. All Cat Propulsion System products are suited for the complete and comprehensive line of Cat and MaK medium and high speed engines.
For customers in the commercial marine industry, specifically the offshore, tug and salvage, dredging and merchant segments, the Cat Propulsion System will enable them to readily purchase a Cat power solution as well as a heavy duty thruster or propeller system without having to rely on a third party vendor.
