Siemens leads the marine industry in the design of advanced diesel-electric propulsion systems of all kinds and sizes. In 1874, Siemens became the world's first company to electrify a ship, and in 1886 built the world's first ship with electric propulsion. Since then Siemens has always remained experienced in shipboard electrical engineering technology. Our long history as a system supplier for diesel-electric propulsion plants, automation and monitoring systems, and complete electrical systems means the Siemens team working on your project has extensive experience in total system engineering to ensure top performance of your complete system.
