Engineered solutions
If you have special requirements that our standard devices do not cover, we can develop an engineered solution that does. We follow your vessel from design to commissioning, making sure that you are getting the performance you need.
Tested, certified, and class approved
All DEIF devices for marine and offshore applications come with a long list of international marine and class approvals, for example MED approval. They are known for reliability and longevity, even in harsh environments. None of this is a coincidence: We develop, design, and manufacture our devices to exacting quality standards, and we test them rigorously to ensure that they can withstand a wide range of adverse conditions.
Waste Heat Recovery can reduce emissions, but do you have enough power?
Techsol Marine uses DEIF controllers to ensure safety at sea
Decarbonising ships to reduce emissions is important to Canadian marine electrical experts Techsol Marine, and so is ensuring safety for the company’s customer portfolio of commercial vessel operators.
DEIF controllers and dependable support help Techsol Marine work towards both targets at once.
