Power infrastructure for maritime operations

Prime power for ports, vessels, and coastal operations

Harbours, ship repair yards, and coastal facilities often can't rely on grid connection as core infrastructure. M Squared supplies and maintains generators and transformers built for continuous, unattended, and remote operation, not just emergency backup.

The challenges we solve

Generation is core infrastructure, not insurance

Prime power for continuous operations

Many maritime and coastal sites need generation as their primary power source, not a backup, and need it sized and specified accordingly.

Remote and off-grid sites

Harbours, aquaculture facilities, and coastal operations in areas with weak or no grid connection need power infrastructure designed for standalone reliability.

Aging fleet and equipment

Much of South Africa's maritime-adjacent generator and transformer stock dates to 2008–2015 and is approaching end-of-life or due for a compliance-driven overhaul.

Transformers for port and vessel infrastructure

Site-specific step-up and step-down solutions built to the demands of a marine environment.

On board

Walk the deck to a working installation

Marine installations live with salt air, vibration and limited space. We place and secure sets on deck, run the cabling to the vessel's systems, and keep them serviced between voyages.

  • Canopied sets secured to deck structures
  • Transformers built for port and vessel infrastructure
  • Service visits scheduled around port calls
