Inland shipping
We are committed to a clean future for shipping without compromising on performance. With our 100% original EU Stage V Caterpillar installations, we offer inland shipping engines that are proven to be reliable and optimally efficient, and can also run on HVO without modifications. With our knowledge of alternative fuels, shore power, and other clean innovations, we bring an innovative perspective on the sustainability of inland vessels.
Pon Power: knowledge of inland shipping
We have been at home in inland shipping for almost 100 years. Regulations, future regulations, certifications, and innovations are what we deal with on a daily basis. That's why we understand your situation and are a good conversational partner to make sound, future-proof choices. Is it currently wise to opt for a Stage V retrofit and operate on 100% HVO, or is it better to continue sailing for another five years and wait for new innovations? Contact our specialist, and we will be happy to think along with you.
