In recent years, the maritime industry has undergone a significant transformation driven by stringent emission regulations and a growing demand for sustainable practices. One innovative solution at the forefront of this shift is maritime electric propulsion, championed by SEAM with their advanced technologies.
Maritime electric propulsion replaces traditional diesel engines with electric motors powered by onboard batteries or shore-based power sources. This technology not only reduces harmful emissions such as CO2 and NOx but also enhances operational efficiency and lowers maintenance costs. SEAM's dedication to sustainability is evident in their pioneering approach to integrating electric propulsion systems into various vessel types, all while ensuring compliance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations on emissions.
SEAM offers a comprehensive electric propulsion solution tailored to meet the unique needs of maritime operators. Their fully electric systems are powered by a sophisticated integration of their e-SEAMatic® platform, which includes several key components: the e-SEAMatic® EPMS (Energy Power Management System), the e-SEA® Drive for energy conversion, a reliable battery system, and the e-SEA® Switchboard for distribution. Together, these elements create a seamless, fully integrated system designed to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and provide reliable performance in compliance with IMO standards.
This integration is complemented by SEAM’s expertise in maritime operations, ensuring that their electric propulsion solutions are not only effective but also future-ready. With their e-SEAMatic® automation platform, vessels equipped with SEAM’s electric systems can benefit from advanced control capabilities, optimizing performance and providing a greater level of operational insight. This combination of innovative technology and expertise makes SEAM’s solutions an award-winning choice for maritime operators.
