Custom-engineered solutions, specialized engineering and electrical services for today's advanced marine electrical systems.

What we do.

Marine Electrical Design and Build

Engineered solutions to meet diverse and difficult electrical marine challenges including systems integration for vessel power and propulsion retrofits and new builds.

Vessel owners today are confronted with a multitude of challenges, all converging with the common goals of enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs while minimizing harmful emissions. For owners with aging fleets looking for operational cost savings and a greener path forward, CANAL has the electrical engineering experience and marine expertise to deliver power management and propulsion systems solutions to upgrade your vessels.

Power management and propulsion system determination is of extreme importance when naval architects set to work on designing a vessel. Designers need to consider efficiency, sustainability, safety, overall performance and systems integration as primary factors to guide the development of the ship's power and propulsion architecture. CANAL partners with marine architects to help design vessels with a strong power and propulsion core to achieve energy efficiency, operational flexibility, reliability and redundancy as well as minimizing lifetime operational costs.
