SCHOTTEL

During Colombiamar 2025, we had the honour of engaging with key figures from the naval and defense sectors. It was an enriching opportunity to strengthen strategic relationships, share knowledge and reaffirm our commitment to the development of the naval industry in Colombia and the region. We would like to thank Yadir Salazar Mejia, Ambassador of Colombia to Germany, Admiral Juan Ricardo Rozo Obregón, Commander of the Colombian Navy, Vice Admiral Hernando Mattos Dager and Rear Admiral Walter Olmedo Wilches Carvajal and Chief of Staff for Force Support, Vice Admiral Hernando Enrique Mattos Dagerand, and all those whose leadership and vision are essential to the growth of the maritime sector. At SCHOTTEL, we remain committed to innovation, international cooperation and the development of propulsion solutions that enhance the capabilities of the naval industry and the sovereignty of Colombia.

Great days with interesting discussions during Colombiamar this week. Hope to see you today at the SCHOTTEL booth 30.

Full SCHOTTEL propulsion package for Norway-based Frøy AS’s new wellboat: We have received an order from Spanish MURUETA Shipyards to equip a new wellboat with two electrically driven SRP 430 and one STT 3. The order also includes LeaCon, a classification society certified seal monitoring system that provides safe and reliable protection against seawater contamination from operating materials. - The vessel is designed to meet future requirements for fish welfare, biosecurity, and energy efficiency. Scheduled for delivery in the fall of 2027, the vessel will be 87.7 meters long, 20.6 meters wide and have a cargo capacity of 4,500 cubic meters. The design, developed in collaboration with Salt Ship Design AS, includes a fish handling package from MMC First Process. The vessel will feature innovative solutions for fish welfare and biosecurity, including a new, energy-efficient well circulation system. It is also prepared for future energy sources and will offer a high level of cyber security. Thank you for your trust. Picture credit: Salt Ship Design

LNG/c Haugesund Knutsen, which is shown on the March image of the SCHOTTEL calendar 2025, is a 5,000 cbm LNG bunker barge designed to supply LNG to gas carriers and gas-fuelled vessels such as cruise ships and ferries in the port basin of Barcelona. Built by Spanish ARMON SHIPYARDS in Gijón for Norwegian shipping company Knutsen Group, the LNG bunkering vessel is equipped with two SCHOTTEL RudderPropellers type SRP 240 L (700 kW each), one SCHOTTEL TransverseThruster type STT 2 (600 kW) and the joystick system SCHOTTEL MasterStick. Tobias Oser, Sales Director Merchant at SCHOTTEL Germany: “By combining different propulsion types, we tailored the ship’s propulsion system to the specific needs of this bunkering vessel. This integration boosts operational safety and efficiency, with SCHOTTEL propulsion systems working in perfect harmony.”

SCHOTTEL SYDRIVE-M is a variable and purely mechanical hybrid propulsion system with no need for any costly additional electronic components. It enables efficient operation, lower maintenance costs, reduction of CO₂, NOx and SOx emissions and optimization of fuel consumption. PSA Marine Perú is experiencing this on a daily basis with the PSA Wayra, the first hybrid-powered tugboat on South America's west coast. Thank you for your trust. More information on SYDRIVE-M at https://lnkd.in/gmgtQHz or at sales@schottel.com.

Our subsidiary SCHOTTEL Far East relies on green energy: As part of SCHOTTEL’s commitment to sustainability efforts, a large solar power system was recently installed on the roof of the building. The solar photovoltaic panels produce an average of 400 kWh per day and are expected to generate 150,000 kWh per year. Since its commissioning in December 2024, the system has already produced an impressive 36 MWh – more than is consumed on site. The excess electricity is sold back to the state-owned power company. SCHOTTEL Far East is one of the first companies in Singapore to install Class A bifacial solar panels, which can use both direct sunlight on the front and indirect light on the back to generate electricity. The solar energy produced will be labelled with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). In total, our subsidiary has already been able to save 17 tonnes of carbon dioxide with its new solar power system - another example of SCHOTTEL's ongoing commitment to a green and sustainable future.
