Congratulations to our colleague James

Posted on December 14, 2023 by nickyyeoman

The team at Proteum would like to extend their congratulations to James for successfully completing his NVQ Level 3 Marine Engineering Apprenticeship.

James has worked diligently throughout the course, and his efforts were recently recognised by one of our customers. The customer was impressed with James’s thorough diagnosis of a suspected problem on the engine during his time aboard Edda Boreas. James worked tirelessly without taking a break to rectify the issue, and he left everything clean and tidy.

The customer gave James a 5-star rating and said,

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

Great job, James, and keep up the good work!

Proteum is reintroducing its “Power in Partnership” (P.I.P.) program

Posted on December 14, 2023December 14, 2023 by nickyyeoman

Proteum understands that the initial cost of purchasing the OXE Marine diesel outboards can be a barrier for customers. Therefore, with Power in Partnership, customers can now enjoy all the benefits of the OXE diesel outboards without having to pay the upfront cost.

Initially, P.I.P. is only available for the 300hp engine specification, with the availability of the 150hp/175hp/200hp versions coming later in the year.

So, how exactly does P.I.P. benefit the customer?

Customers can enjoy minimal initial cost to secure the engine, which is typically £6,500. they then pay a simple and manageable monthly cost of ownership.
Customers only pay for the hours that the engine is working and earning money if the minimum contracted hours are achieved (600 hours per year).
Customers can book routine services in advance, maximising operational uptime of the engine and vessel.
Customers can utilise all the benefits of the OXE diesel with minimum capital expenditure, and without incurring depreciation costs.
Customers have the option to choose from three contract termination options: extension, purchase, or return the engine.
Warranty, In-Service, and Support are available throughout the length of the partnership.
