Augsburg, October 29, 2025 – RENK Group AG, a leading provider of propulsion solutions for the military and civilian sectors, has received an order to supply 12 NDSL-3600 double marine gear units. The first of these are to be delivered to the customer Kongsberg Maritime Sweden AB in the fourth quarter of 2026. The gear units will be used in six RoPax ferries belonging to an international shipping company.
“RENK has established itself as a leading provider of gear units in the maritime sector, having supplied over 500 TI/SO transmission systems worldwide. The RENK NDSL-3600 gear units will not only ensure maximum operational reliability in the new ferries, these will also help to improve passenger travel comfort thanks to RENK’s vibration-optimized design,” said Dr. Georg von Witzleben, CEO Marine & Industry.
The RENK gearboxes are a core component of the drivetrain, which will be equipped with advanced green technology. They provide a high level of energy efficiency and therefore help to reduce carbon emissions. This represents a key contribution by RENK to decarbonization in shipping.
The ferries will be the first methanol-powered vessels to be operated in the Mediterranean area; each NDSL-3600 gear unit will be driven by two methanol dual-fuel motors. Integrated multiple disc clutches enable a range of drive modes, including highly efficient on-board power generation via an integrated PTO shaft. RENK NDSL gearboxes are the benchmark for robust and reliable modern marine applications.
