Investor presentation summary
1 Nov, 2026Business profile and competitive position
Global maritime technology supplier with integrated solutions from bridge to propeller, serving vessels through design, construction and operations.
Global network: ~8,300 employees, 53% engineers, 24/7 operations and 30,000+ installed vessels; 2025 revenue mix was EMEA 52%, APAC 34% and Americas 14%.
Differentiation centers on competitive products, system integration, lifecycle support and local execution near shipyards, owners and operators.
Solutions address energy efficiency, alternative energy, emissions management, digitalisation, system integration and offshore wind.
Exposure spans gas carriers, cargo, naval and government, offshore energy, tug, passenger and other vessel segments; YTD 2026 newbuild intake was led by offshore energy at 27%, naval and government at 22%, and cargo at 18%.
Lifecycle model and market opportunity
Newbuild offerings include ship design, advisory support and equipment packages; operational support covers maintenance, repairs, overhauls, upgrades, conversions and vessel life extensions.
Installed base of 30,000+ vessels supports recurring aftermarket demand; 12,000+ vessels served annually with field service and spares, 25,000+ remote support sessions in the last 12 months, and 2,200+ service, engineering and support staff.
Backlog grew at a stated 21% CAGR, while a broad shipping-segment mix and aftermarket exposure are positioned to moderate individual market cycles.
More than 50,000 vessels are estimated to require upgrades over the next five years to comply with regulations; ageing fleets and incentives to extend vessel lives support demand.
Newbuild growth is attributed to greater system scope and vessel complexity, not vessel count alone; integrated digital systems and a broader portfolio are intended to expand addressable deliveries.
