SMART Engineer Reduces the CO2 Impact by 250 Tonnes

The number of OXE Marine diesel outboards in operation in the UK is ever increasing and all these engines are being monitored 24/7 by Proteum’s S.M.A.R.T. Portal.

The S.M.A.R.T engineer means that we have monitored every one of the 18,819 hours that the engines have accumulated, by running OXE Diesel outboards instead of petrol our customers have helped to reduce the CO2 impact on the UK marine industry by over 250 tonnes!

Two New HDPE Bulldog Boats with Single OXE 150hp for Uist Asco

The two Bulldog Boats are 7 meter HDPE workboats fitted with single OXE Marine 150hp diesel outboards, supplied by Proteum.

This vessel is designed to carry around 16 tons of bagged seaweed in a single trip. The seaweed is cut and collected, then placed in floating bags with a one-ton capacity each. Up to 16 of these bags are safely secured to the vessel for transportation to the processing plant. The seaweed is sorted, dried, and processed at the plant for global distribution.

The adoption of OXE diesel outboards is due to the diesel outboards much higher torque output enabling more seaweed to be transported per journey, maximising the efficiency of the operation.

Due to their remote location self-sufficiency is critical to smooth operations consequently two engineers and the Projects Director for Uist’s Asco spent three days at Proteum’s facilities in Hamble during April, receiving training on the service and maintenance of the OXE outboards.

Seawork success

Speed@Sea has come back to Cowes, IoW and relocated to the Royal Yacht Squadron this year. It provides a picturesque backdrop to present the latest in high-speed craft. Delegates from UK MOD Small Boats teams, along with representatives from international Navy and SAR organisations, have taken the chance to sea trial various boats and, of course, the OXE Marine 300hp diesel outboard that is distributed by Proteum.

The delegates provided consistently positive feedback regarding the engine’s performance, with particular praise for its quiet operation even at high speeds. The engine’s impressive capabilities were highly appreciated.

Seawork’s primary event occurs at Mayflower Park in Southampton. With a spacious stand on land and a demonstration boat on the pontoon, Proteum was excellently positioned to engage with both new and existing customers throughout the three-day exhibition.

Enquiries were plentiful with visitors requesting more information on the various engines and propulsion and control systems that Proteum distribute.
