POD motors Subsea

A Rim Drive motor is the most simplified motor design which is ever made. But don’t confuse simplified with less powerful. 97% of the applications doesn’t require high speed capabilities. In general high efficiency is needed at cruise speed to guarantee a full-day of pleasure. Up to medium speeds a rim drive is the most efficient propulsion solution available in the market.

Why choose Rim Drive Technology?

Our engines are designed and manufactured entirely in the Netherlands. They contain no oil or seals, minimizing the risk of leakage or wear. Thanks to the unique design without a central shaft, ropes or nets are less likely to become entangled in the propeller. The engine consists of only one rotating part, which minimizes maintenance.

Durable and reliable

We are a carbon-neutral company and are continuously developing innovative, sustainable propulsion solutions. Our subsea POD motors are designed for long-term use in the most challenging conditions, without compromising performance or reliability.
