Gear units

Flexibility for all applications

Flender has been building high-quality, reliable, standard and customised gear unit solutions for a wide range of marine applications for decades. These are developed within the well-known and established modular gear unit system NAVILUS ®.

We attach great importance to our dialogue with shipyards and operating companies. Our customers know that we take their requirements very seriously and we ensure, through our industry knowledge and expertise, that these are addressed in full when developing new solutions. At the heart of which is our tried and tested technology.

In the marine propulsion technology sector, it is important to operate a ship’s main engine over long periods at the most efficient operating point possible and at the same time, reduce emissions to a minimum. This is especially important for applications with multiple uses, i.e. different propulsion profiles. The central objectives of which are; low operating and life-cycle costs, minimum environmental impact, as well as achieving the highest levels of reliability and safety.
