Teaming up for electric propulsion system
The Finnish electric propulsion specialist Oceanvolt has entered into a two-way relationship with Netherlands based Victron Energy.
The two companies will integrate their products to work as a unified system, which will form the base of Oceanvolt’s SEA (Silent Electric Autonomy) concept. The Oceanvolt SEA system enables, among other things, running A/C and other appliances without using a generator by converting the electricity from the propulsion system battery into 220VAC.
Oceanvolt will offer its customers systems which use Victron Energy’s charger/inverters, solar charger controllers and other electric components together with its propulsion system. Oceanvolt’s electric propulsion systems have already been installed in over 50 customer boats.
“Victron Energy’s products perfectly complement our propulsion system and together they offer our customers the comforts of home while at sea,” says Oceanvolt CEO Timo Jaakkola.
“The Oceanvolt system impressed us. It is a mature and finished system. With this partnership our customers can offer an electric propulsion system which works as a part of a boat’s existing electrical network,” added Victron Energy MD Matthijs Vader.
