Keeping our engineers upskilled is a vital component to the high level of service and support Proteum provides its customers.
Last month saw James attend a 3-day training course in Angleholm, Sweden, at OXE Marine headquarters; the 3-day course covering major service items, deep level diagnostics and fault finding.
Not to be outdone by James’s snowy adventures in Sweden, Jack & Ben were also braving the cold in Stoke-on-Trent, repairing a Baudouin 12M226 generator at NVS, ensuring the company operated during adverse weather conditions.

Exciting news from the team at JD Marine International Ltd as they launch their latest technologies, the SXX3 USV.
Despite its compact 3-meter length, the SXX3 boasts an impressive range of 250 nautical miles and a top speed of 35 knots.
Proteum is thrilled to be able to supply the propulsion and controls for the SXX3 USV that we hope will facilitate our friends and allies defend their borders.
The SXX3 USV has already been exhibited at Navy Tech in Estonia and was well received by several Baltic states.
In February 2024, Proteum signed a dealership agreement with M&M Engineering to sell & support OXE diesel outboards in the West of Scotland.
Sales Manager Simon Barnett said, “It’s great to have M&M Engineering onboard; with OXE diesel outboards already operating along the West Coast of Scotland, they are in the perfect location to support our remote customers.
M&M Engineering are an established marine engineering company based in Stornoway that understands its customers’ requirements; due to the remote locations of many of their customers, OXE diesel outboards have a considerable advantage, the most obvious being operators do not have to transport and store more flammable petrol, they can operate the outboards using the fuel used for other plant machinery, longer service intervals and higher torque or also beneficial.”
Craig Macleod, Managing Director of M&M Engineering, added, “OXE has produced a range of products that offer a long list of unmatched features and benefits. Customers in the area will see the significant advantage of increased fuel efficiency and longevity, not to mention the massive reduction in emissions. We believe this technology has the potential to disrupt the market, and we’re delighted to be announced as the latest dealer promoting OXE Diesel Outboards.”

On the 20th of February 2024, Proteum signed a contract with Marine Enterprises the UK distributor of FNM engines to become their South Coast of the UK dealer for the FNM brand of in-board engines.
FNM Marine specialises in the design and manufacture of high-quality inboard diesel and hybrid engines, renowned for their exceptional reliability and low operating costs. Offering a range of engines, FNM’s Blue Hybrid System, is a highly innovative solution that provides customers with the ability to navigate with zero emissions.
The Blue Hybrid system enables a seamless transition from diesel to electric power, with the benefits of significantly reducing environmental impact. This technology is especially advantageous for commercial vessels operating within protected natural areas, where silent operation and pollution prevention are essential.
Neil Taylor, General Manager at Proteum, stated: “the addition of the FNM range of engines is an excellent complement to the other established brands distributed by Proteum. FNM engines have a power output ranging from 80hp to 350hp, and they use the latest standard rail fuel injection systems that are controlled by the ECU.
Furthermore, FNM’s latest Blue Hybrid System aligns with Proteum’s goal of offering a range of zero-emission engines, which supports the company’s vision of protecting lives and protecting our planet.”
Sean Brackstone, Managing Director of Marine Enterprises “We are delighted to appoint Proteum as the central south coast dealer for the FNM product range. Having worked very successfully with Proteum for many years, we know that they have a highly skilled team and are ideally placed to meet the needs of FNM customers.”
The FNM engine range is known for its reliability and efficiency in terms of delivery time, which typically takes 6 to 8 weeks. With Proteum’s quick installation process, customers in need of an inboard engine on short notice can get back to full operations in a relatively short period of time.
