“Our success in the market is rooted in our strategic collaborations with major ship engine designers. By working closely with these industry leaders, we gain valuable insights into the evolving needs of the maritime sector. This collaboration allows us to anticipate market developments, tailor our solutions to specific requirements, and ensure that our components seamlessly integrate into cutting-edge ship engine designs” Head of Compensator Sales, Jens Ulrik Nielsen explains.

The Challenge of Vibrations on Board Ships

One critical aspect often overlooked in the maritime industry is the impact of vibrations on board ships. Vibrations can have harmful effects on both the ship’s structural integrity and, more importantly, the health and well-being of the crew. This negative impact on crew health, can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and even injury.

With many crew members working in a 24/7 environment, exposed to these vibrations for extended periods of time, minimizing vibrations becomes paramount to ensuring a safe and comfortable workplace.

“To illustrate our approach to solving the vibration challenge, consider the analogy of a car with shaking front wheels at high speeds. Slowing down or adding weight to the trunk may provide temporary relief, but these solutions are far from ideal. Similarly, addressing the symptoms of vibrations on board ships is insufficient. Instead, we advocate tending to the root cause and incorporating our compensators into the motor set-up from day one” Jens Ulrik Nielsen finishes.
