GE Marine launched

GE unveiled its new GE Marine organization. GE Marine combines the cumulative expertise of several GE businesses and will be led by Tim Schweikert, VP, GE Marine.

This new organization brings together GE’s commercial and technological expertise in the marine sector from gas turbines and diesel engines to motors and generators, variable speed drives and drilling systems to automation and control systems and all the electrical equipment in between, GE said in a statement on Thursday.

According to the statement, GE Marine builds on the foundations laid out by the GE Global Offshore Marine organization established in 2013 to provide integrated solutions to GE’s offshore customers.

“Today’s announcement reflects how GE’s focus is on growing its marine business around strong technology platforms,” said Joe Mastrangelo, CEO, GE’s Power Conversion business. “Our customers will benefit from a highly integrated, technologically rich solution for a wide range of marine applications. From the most advanced frigates to the largest luxury cruise liners to the hardest-working FPSOs, we power, propel and position the marine industry.”
