Combining the very best features of proven machinery and evolving technologies, the EcoMarine PowerRing™ system is a true innovation in ship propulsion. PowerRing™ creates for the first time a truly "Plug & Play" system which combines the very best traits of diesel/electric propulsion with the ability to also have hybrid power options available within the system. The design of the system allows for options such as batteries, fuel cells and power fed from both shore and other vessels to be employed seamlessly. This also means that any upgrades in the stored energy technology that develops over time, can be easily integrated into the vessel without major changes in the basic system. Thus PowerRing™ can accommodate emerging technologies in energy storage, changes in generator technology and via its power management software, allow for flexibility in 'tuning' the system over time for optimal performance once the vessel is in service. Your vessel's drive system need never be behind the technology curve.

Yet, for all its technology, PowerRing™ is a toughly built, solidly engineered system capable of a wide range of man/machine interface options and operable manually as a last resort in an emergency. It is a system designed with Safety and Reliability as its first objective. When equipped with the option for remote monitoring, the system can 'call home' to both the Owner and to EcoMarine when it detects parameters falling outside established limits and allows us to troubleshoot a problem directly from our engineering office.

Bridge controls are intuitive, allowing for Captains and Mates to be easily schooled in the system's operation. It can be set easily for any of a number of operational parameters based on the vessel's mission – from best fuel consumption to most power available and a range of options in between. It utilizes a modular, building-block approach to its construction with unparalleled flexibility and redundancy heretofore unavailable to the propulsion marketplace at a reasonable cost.

Utilizing proven and simple permanent magnet motors and motor control equipment we build in our own plant, PowerRingTM also offers an exclusive, proven battery management system that greatly extends high-power battery life. We also manufacture the switchboards and generator panels for the engine room, thus providing a turn-key shipboard power solution with single point responsibility.
