Innovation is key

Technological and forward-looking innovations for the maritime sector

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at RH Marine. With decades of experience as a leading partner in the maritime sector, we develop advanced solutions that shape the future of shipbuilding.

From sustainable, green, and intelligent vessels to cutting-edge electrical and automation systems, we continuously explore new possibilities in collaboration with clients. Discover how we can transform your vessels with our integrated architectures and advanced technologies.

Autonome operationele capaciteiten

Autonomous operation

RH Marine focuses on the development of systems that have advanced autonomous operational capabilities. Innovations such as big data, augmented reality, IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are revolutionising global industries, including the maritime sector. 

As ships increasingly need to be self-reliant, integration of these technologies is essential. Our solutions are designed to autonomously advise and execute procedures based on awareness of environmental factors, making your ship smarter as well as more adaptable to changing conditions and operational demands.

RH Marine is introducing the initial versions of the Integrated Vessel System Architecture (IVSA) to support these technologies. These versatile systems are ideally suited to advanced naval vessels and high-end luxury yachts.

Langdurige samenwerking

Long-term collaboration

RH Marine places great value on cultivating enduring partnerships with clients, government bodies, and knowledge institutes. Our focus is on critical issues such as the energy transition, technological advancements in autonomous sailing, optimized crew numbers, and enhancing on-board safety.

We are also addressing growing international competition within the maritime manufacturing industry. These urgent matters are a priority for several ministries in the Netherlands and across the European Union. To support this, various subsidies have been made available, and numerous consortia have been established to collaborate on a range of maritime projects.

RH Marine is actively engaged in several related consortia, including EDINAF, Menens, and Dutch Naval Design. For more information, visit our Collaborations page.

 

Design en productie

Seamless integration in design and production

RH Marine's multidisciplinary teams work closely with customers and suppliers to develop optimised systems that meet the latest technological requirements. By merging design and manufacturing, we achieve seamless integration of all system components on board your vessel. Our core areas include:

  • Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS): optimal control and monitoring for precise management of vessel functions
  • Integrated Bridge Management Systems (IBMS): efficiency in navigation with advanced bridge systems
  • Power Management Systems (PMS): effective distribution and use of electric power on board
  • Propulsion Control Systems (PCS): advanced control for propulsion systems, ensuring optimum performance and fuel efficiency
Mid life upgrades

Midlife upgrades

Proper maintenance of ships and their onboard systems is crucial for ensuring reliable and efficient operation. 

RH Marine provides bespoke onboard service and repair solutions to maintain the continuity of our systems after commissioning. As every ship is unique, we offer tailored maintenance, updates, and upgrades of hardware and software throughout its entire life cycle.

With our extensive experience and technical expertise, we guarantee maximum operational performance and minimal downtime for your vessels.

Hybride

Hybrid solutions

Ship operations can be significantly improved by increasing the amount of energy generated and stored on board. This not only leads to a reduction in overall emissions, but also enables super-silent sailing at low speeds and provides additional power during emergency operations. 

With the increasing emphasis on alternative energy solutions and strict compliance with emission regulations, we ensure that your ship not only meets current standards, but is also ready for future developments.

High end design standaard

High-end design standard

The choices made during the newbuilding phase determine the reliability, maintainability and future-proofing of your vessel. 

RH Marine offers conceptual and feasibility studies to test the value and implementation of new technologies.
