EM Marine Power GmbH has opened new engineering site in Craiova, Romania. The company is a newly established company founded in July 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. It is the sister company of Bayerische Elektrische Maschinen GmbH, specializing in the development and supply of complete electric propulsion systems for hybrid and fully electric vessels. The company focuses on creating tailored marine electrification solutions for various onshore and offshore applications.
The city’s strong engineering heritage and highly skilled specialists make Craiova an ideal place for advancing next-generation marine systems, says the company.
Robert Beck, director of both BEM Marine Power and Bayerische Elektrische Maschinen, comments:
“What was originally a small start-up has grown into a rapidly scaling company in just ten years, doubling its revenue almost every year,”
BEM has been developing frequency convertor-ready generators and hybrid generator-motor systems with startup solutions. Beck has publicly commented that these technologies “have already made a significant impact on the industry and enabled entirely new standards to be set.”
At the Craiova plant, BEM, together with local research institutes, is planning to develop next generation systems.
“Our Romanian engineers have the task of designing fully autonomous ship-ready components - solutions which can be integrated directly in future fully autonomous vessels without further modifications,” concludes Beck.
These latest systems are set to go a step further than the existing models. They will be designed as standard for efficient DC rectifier systems, with optimised electrical characteristics.
