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.

Saving Lives At Sea

Question: What can prevent a 16,000-ton container ship from departing on schedule and costing thousands of pounds per day?

Answer: A SOLAS lifeboat. If the lifeboat is not operational, the crew’s safety is compromised, and the ship cannot leave port. Recently, the CMA CGM VENTANIA, a 161-meter container ship, was unable to depart due to a failed lifeboat engine that needed replacing.

Luckily, Proteum had the Bukh DV29 engine in stock and is currently shipping it to Curaçao, mid-Pacific, for installation, allowing the ship to move forward. Proteum is the UK and Ireland distributor for BUKH and carries a selection of new engines in various horsepower, including the BUKH V8 P Series ranging from 300hp to 530hp. They also offer an extensive range of parts for older engines.

#SAVINGLIVESATSEA

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.

BUKH announces the asset takeover of Marinediesel AB VGT engine series

Today, BUKH A/S has announced the acquisition of Sweden based Marinediesel AB´s production of VGT marine engines, taking over the production and development of the powerful GM based V8 Diesel. In the future, production, sales and support will take place from BUKH´s Danish factory, ensuring that the engines meet the high quality standards that have been the trademark of Danish-built BUKH engines since 1899.

Representing another milestone in our company’s growth plan, this acquisition strengthens BUKH´s position, expertise and competitiveness in the marine segments where BUKH has been represented for more than 110 years. BUKH has taken over all assets of Marinediesel AB relating to the VGT marine engines, and from today all the marine activities from Marinediesel AB will be executed by BUKH.

Proteum is the UK distributor for BUKH and has many years experience working with the Marinediesel VGT range.
