Marine Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) for Vessels

Improve vessel energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and support EEXI & CII compliance with GLO Marine VFD solutions.

What is a Marine VFD

A marine variable frequency drive (VFD) controls motor speed by adjusting power supply frequency, enabling real-time energy optimisation onboard.

Used across propulsion systems, generators, pumps, and fans, marine VFD systems help reduce energy waste, lower emissions, and support vessel decarbonisation strategies.

VFD Applications
