Proteum has extended its distribution agreement with OXE Marine Diesel, gaining both time and space in the process.
Based in Hampshire UK, Proteum confirmed that its distribution agreement with OXE Marine Diesel for UK and Ireland has been extended by five years and now includes a new distribution license for both Norway and Iceland, strengthening Proteum’s reach in the maritime market.
Norway and Iceland offer substantial marine opportunities for Proteum. Due to their geographical characteristics, there is a need for Search and Rescue (S.A.R.) craft, as well as support for wind farm operators and salmon fish farms. Proteum says the OXE Diesel Outboard is well-suited for these markets, benefiting from the widespread availability of diesel, which provides versatility and an extended range for operations in remote areas.
Neil Taylor commented, “Proteum’s relationship with OXE Marine is going from strength to strength. The extension of our current UK agreement, along with our new territory, is a testament to that. We have been with OXE from the beginning and have seen continued growth in sales year on year. We look forward to replicating this success in the Norwegian and Icelandic markets.”
The OXE Diesel Outboard range includes options of 225hp, 250hp and 300 HP to meet diverse customer specifications. Greener maritime operators can reduce their vessel's emission by up to 97% simply by using hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) instead of standard diesel. This transition is straightforward, as the entire range of OXE Marine diesel outboards distributed by Proteum is validated to operate on HVO fuel.
