Floating infrastructure—from platforms to ports—needs serious heavy machinery: engines, propulsion systems, cranes, and lifting gear. These manufacturers are the muscle behind The Floating Economy, enabling scale, power, and durability.
MAN Energy / Everllence - Marine Propulsion & Engine Systems: They produce large two-stroke and four-stroke marine engines, hybrid propulsion solutions, exhaust after-treatment, and systems optimized for emissions compliance. Their product portfolio includes LNG systems and marine engines designed to reduce fuel consumption.
HD Hyundai Marine Engine / HHI - Global Leader in Engine Manufacturing: HD Hyundai is among the top marine engine manufacturers, delivering large engines and components (crankshafts, turbochargers) with over 15 million horsepower produced in recent years. They’re moving into greener power solutions and expanding capacity.
Konecranes - Port & Shipyard Heavy Lifting Systems: Konecranes builds shipyard cranes, container handling systems, ship-to-shore cranes, mobile harbor cranes, rubber-tyred gantry cranes. They are expanding manufacturing partners and building cranes locally in various markets.
Heavy marine equipment may look old-school, but it’s evolving. From cleaner fuel engines to high-precision cranes, these manufacturers determine how fast, how clean, and how well The Floating Economy can scale.
