DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) returned in September 2023 and took place at London’s ExCeL, situated in the Royal Victoria Dock in London Docklands, exhibiting the latest defence technology. Sales Manager Simon Barnett represented Proteum.

DSEI is a fantastic opportunity to meet with existing and potential customers as the companies exhibiting at DSEI are at the cutting edge of technology; integrating the proven maritime powertrain systems that Proteum distribute into their design concepts is crucial to operational performance and longevity.

With several successful meetings, we look forward to bringing you news of some exciting projects in the pipeline during 2024.

Keeping Brownsea Island on the move

MV Castello

Proteum’s After Sales Manager Ben Allan enjoyed a day out of the office to support MV Castello, the 12M catamaran built by BW Seacat that first went into operation in 2021 and is fitted with twin Alamarin AJ340 water jets and the superb SIGMA joystick steering system enabling pinpoint steering in close quarters.

Ben was onboard to carry out routine maintenance with the drives now having accumulated over 4000 hours and also update steering sensors, preventative maintenance being crucial to reliability and minimising downtime to any commercial operator.

MV Castello operates at the entrance to Poole Harbour and supports the John Lewis Foundation on Brownsea Island, carrying up to 35 passengers’ cargo, ensuring the smooth running of one of the UK’s most famous National Trust properties.

Proteum is a UK distributor of Alamarin water jets; Alamarin knows the importance of future technologies within the marine industry and has invested heavily in next-generation control and monitoring systems, including fully autonomous operations, remote surveillance and remote monitoring. All are built on the SIGMA CONTROLS platform.

Proteum’s engineer James Knox was recently dispatched to Newcastle at short notice to support Edda Wind’s Boreas Worker. The Chief Engineer aboard Edda Boreas thought highly of James’ work, as he acknowledged James:

“I would like to say I am impressed with James (during his time aboard Edda Boreas). He was very thorough in his diagnosis of the suspected problem on the engine and explained it all well.

James worked ALL day without a break to rectify our issue, which hopefully is fixed.

Everything was left clean and tidy—5 stars for James from me.”

At Proteum, understanding the importance of swift intervention and the quality of our in-service support is vital to the continuous growth of our commercial customer base. Congratulations to James on a job well done.

Back to school for BUKH training

A new school year begins!

Proteum’s commitment to providing excellent engineering delivery to our customers saw engineer Jack Woodford heading for a classroom, but this time at BUKH’s HQ in Krusa, Denmark.

Throughout the training course, Jack gained valuable experience in the installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and warranty of the latest V8 P series engine launched by BUKH in 2023.

The BUKH V8 6.6L is a powerful, compact, lightweight diesel engine designed to suit all commercial and leisure applications.

With the strong Duramax base engine and marinisation carried out by BUKH in Denmark, the BUKH V8 is the right choice when reliability, performance, compact and quality are the keywords for your project.
