Everllence has signed a memorandum of understanding with WE Tech Solutions to explore cooperation on electrification, energy-efficiency and decarbonization solutions for the maritime industry.
The companies aim to combine WE Tech’s electrical integration expertise with Everllence’s engineering, retrofit execution and lifecycle support capabilities to help customers reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The agreement builds on the development of PrimeServ Omnicare as a multi-OEM solutions provider, adding retrofit and decarbonization services alongside its existing service and spare-parts offering.
The MoU was signed during Posidonia 2026 in Athens, Greece, by Henri Kinnunen, CEO of WE Tech Solutions, and Thomas Andreassen, global business development manager at Everllence PrimeServ Omnicare.
The cooperation will focus on electrification and energy-management solutions, retrofit projects supporting operational efficiency and decarbonization, and global service, commissioning and lifecycle support.
Kinnunen said the maritime industry is at a pivotal point in its transition toward lower emissions: “By combining WE Tech’s electrification technologies with Everllence’s global service capabilities, we can support customers with integrated, practical solutions that improve efficiency while reducing environmental impact.”
Andreassen said electrification, energy efficiency and decarbonization are becoming increasingly interconnected in the industry. “This partnership strengthens the PrimeServ organization’s ability to support customers in that transition,” he said.
“Everllence engines power a substantial share of the global commercial fleet, giving us a unique opportunity to help shipowners achieve meaningful fuel savings and reduce emissions through practical retrofit solutions. By combining WE Tech’s expertise in hybrid systems and electrical integration with our global engineering and service organization, we can deliver solutions that create measurable value for customers.
“We look forward to working with WE Tech and supporting the maritime industry’s journey toward a more sustainable future, fully aligned with Everllence’s ambition of Moving Big Things to Zero.”
The two companies have already launched a project offering Power Take-Off (PTO) and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) upgrades for two- and four-stroke vessels during dry dockings, and are in discussions on a pilot project with options for up to 33 vessels.
PTO/VFD upgrades enable operators to avoid running auxiliary engines, lowering fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining operational reliability. The upgrades would be available to customers with significant onboard power consumption, such as LNG carriers or container vessels with substantial reefer capacity, regardless of engine manufacturer.
