Gemini WR780 powered by OXE 300hp diesel OB

The OXE Diesel combines the reliability and endurance of marine inboards with the flexibility and agility of outboard engines.The OXE Diesel Outboard range includes 150, 175, 200 and 300HP options to meet different customer specifications. OXE Diesel outboards improve fuel economy by over 40% when compared to comparable modern petrol outboards. Reduced fuel consumption means longer intervals between refuelling improving efficiency.

Speed@Seawork 12 June 2023

Speed@Seawork is the latest sector-specific feature of Seawork, Europe’s leading commercial marine exhibition organised by Mercator Media. 

First introduced in 2018, Speed@Seawork is aimed squarely at facilitating growth and development for the design, build and operation of these specialist vessels.  As operating demands increase, new solutions for propulsion, navigation, communications and care of the crew will be needed. Speed@Seawork turns the spotlight on the sector, offering knowledge sharing, networking, exhibiting, sponsorship and demonstrating opportunities.

The Sea Trials will be held on Monday 12 June 2023 in and around the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, UK.
