Finning UK & Ireland will address changing marine power requirements at Seawork 2026, as operators increasingly look for more flexible and efficient propulsion, auxiliary and power generation solutions across their fleets.
Finning will present a selection of Cat® propulsion, auxiliary and power generation technologies as part of a broader end-to-end service proposition.
On display will be a sample of the company’s marine range, including engines such as the Cat® C7.1 and C32, alongside a C2.2 generator set. These sit within a wider portfolio spanning propulsion engines, auxiliary engines, generator sets and battery and hybrid solutions, reflecting the increasingly varied power requirements across modern fleets.
As vessels take on more electrically driven systems, from deck equipment to onboard processing and control systems, power requirements are shifting beyond propulsion alone. This is increasing reliance on auxiliary engines and generator sets to deliver consistent, efficient onboard power, particularly in demanding operating environments.
With more than 80 years’ experience supporting the marine sector, Finning delivers propulsion solutions ranging from 209 bkW (284 bhp) to 6,500 bkW (8,834 bhp), alongside generator sets and auxiliary engines from 10 ekW (10 kVA) to 5,200 ekW (6,500 kVA).
Gordon Dalrymple, Marine Sales Manager at Finning UK & Ireland, said, “We’re seeing operators deal with a more complex set of power requirements than ever before. Beyond propulsion, vessels are now supporting more onboard systems, while at the same time operators are exploring hybrid and alternative solutions where they make sense.
“For many, the challenge is understanding the right combination of technologies for their application. That could be conventional engines, auxiliary and generation capacity, or integrating hybrid elements where appropriate. Our role is to help customers manage that complexity and provide the engineering expertise and aftermarket support to keep assets running effectively over the long term.”
Beyond equipment supply, Finning supports customers throughout the full lifecycle of their assets, with extended service options and a network of specialist engineers providing ongoing maintenance, repair and optimisation.
Visitors to Seawork 2026 can meet the Finning team on stand Q62 to discuss their propulsion, auxiliary and shoreside power requirements.
