Four C80 units with gearboxes installed, ready for final packing
We’ve been working on this project for a while, and we’re excited to share a first look at our largest commercial project to date. The vessels will use fully electric propulsion with a range extender, forming a serial-hybrid system.
A Serial-Hybrid Propulsion System
Each vessel will be equipped with two NT Systems C80 units, paired with a gearbox and delivering 855 rpm to the shaft. Together, these components form the electric propulsion side of the serial-hybrid setup.
NT Systems is also providing the project’s full electrical engineering and system integration, including helm controls with a throttle lever and display, the onboard charger (OBC) and charging equipment, high- and low-voltage cabling for the propulsion system, battery and distribution boxes, and the vessel control unit (VCU). The battery system is supplied by our third-party partner.

More to Come
We can’t share much more about the project just yet. What we can say is that it will mark a first, and we’re proud to be part of it. We look forward to sharing more as the project progresses.
