ZEM becomes a new partner
Blue Ctrl is pleased to welcome ZEM as a new partner. ZEM is a leading Norwegian system integrator of marine electric and hybrid drivelines, with deep expertise in integrated energy systems, battery technology and zero-emission propulsion solutions. The company has delivered more than 150 projects across the maritime industry.
To kick off the collaboration, ZEM recently visited Blue Ctrl in Ålesund, bringing together our technical and sales teams to explore opportunities and establish a strong foundation for the partnership.
The collaboration brings together complementary capabilities in marine propulsion, energy systems, automation and control. By combining ZEM’s expertise in electric and hybrid drivelines with Blue Ctrl’s X-CONNECT® automation platform, we see strong potential to develop more integrated, flexible and efficient solutions for vessel owners, yards and system integrators.
ZEM develops electric and hybrid propulsion systems for a wide range of vessel types, with a focus on safe, efficient and scalable solutions for the maritime energy transition.
The partnership is another step in strengthening Blue Ctrl’s partner network and our ambition to make X-CONNECT® an open and flexible platform for modern maritime systems.
