Development, production & service Frederikshavn
Frederikshavn is a central maritime location with shipyards, Scandinavian ferry operators and a Royal Danish Navy base. The community has a strong cluster of maritime service, repair and recycling companies, as well as subcontractors for the offshore oil, gas and wind industry.
It is a service location by nature, where ships, ships’ engines and propulsion machinery are repaired and maintained around the clock.
High-efficiency propulsion solutions
Within the global MAN Energy Solutions business, Frederikshavn is a focal point for propulsion and aft ship solutions – based on small-bore engines, propellers, reduction gears and propulsion control systems. The aim is always to achieve maximum propulsive performance, balanced against the lowest total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
The organization’s dedicated expert teams are highly specialized in propulsion and system integration within research, development, production and aftersales services – able to make maximum use of, for example, the latest state-of-the-art tools in hydrodynamic, hydraulic, electronic and mechanical design.
Our local PrimeServ harbor-site Service Center Denmark has large repair shops as well as stock and quay facilities, offering a full service portfolio from maintenance, reconditioning, upgrades and repair work to complete overhauls.
