MAURIC is a pioneer in designing hybrid ships. In 2012, we designed the first hybrid-parallel passenger ship, Helios, operating in Marseille's calanques. This design features two shaft lines with one diesel and one electric motor connected to the same gearbox per shaft line.
We later designed the first hybrid Offshore Patrol Vessel for French Navy, the 60m OPV La Confiance. Its hybrid-parallel propulsion allows operation on electric motors at low patrol speeds and on main diesel engines at higher speeds.
Our portfolio has since expanded to include various hybrid propulsion architectures for passenger ships, patrol boats, rescue ships, and crew boats.
Hybridization offers a near-term solution for decarbonizing maritime and riverine operations such as patrolling, passenger transport, and environmental surveys. Electric propulsion with batteries at low speeds enables zero-emission operations and improved onboard comfort.
At MAURIC, we combine cutting-edge hybridization technology knowledge with expertise in hybrid system integration, always considering applicable rules, regulations, and safety standards. This allows us to propose tailor-made, optimized solutions for hybrid vessel designs.
Our commitment to greener ships has led us to zero-emission designs, including 100% battery-powered vessels like our full-electric pilot boat developed for the Greenpilot project. We've also ventured into hydrogen-powered ships, such as ALBA, the first professional vessel approved by French authorities to operate with zero emissions using onboard hydrogen.
