DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Marine VFD Market by Type (AC Drive, DC Drive), Voltage (Low Voltage, Medium Voltage), Application (Pump, Fan, Compressor, Propeller (With Shaft Generator, Without Shaft Generator), Crane & Hoist), and Region - Global Forecast to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The marine VFD market is projected to reach USD 1,075 million by 2026 from an estimated USD 804 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period.
There is increasing demand for more efficient systems which can save wastage of energy and help to reduce the emission from the maritime sector. Also, there is a shift towards electric and hybrid systems to reduce dependency on fossil fuel and for more clean power. Apart from these there is adoption of IoT across all the sectors including shipping sector. Thus, the marine VFD market is gaining momentum, and there exists a lot of untapped potential in this market.
The compressor segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2021 to 2026.
Based on the application of marine VFD systems, the compressor segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing market from 2019 to 2026. A compressor is a multipurpose device used in various applications, ranging from the cleaning of filters to starting the main or secondary engines of a ship. Compressors are also used to run the propellers in a ship.
Medium voltage VFD is expected to emerging market by voltage
VFDs with a voltage of more than 1000 V are considered under the medium voltage segment. The use of these drives helps in improving efficiency, thereby reducing the overall operating costs. These VFDs are generally used for critical applications and main components of the system installed on a ship. Recently introduced hybrid engines in the shipping industry have boosted the demand for medium-voltage VFDs, and this segment is expected to witness strong growth during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific: The largest marine VFD market
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of 51.1% of the marine VFD market amongst all regions in 2020. Asia is a major maritime transport player - not only as a consumer of marine transport services and a major maritime hub but also as a producer of such services. The region has been segmented by country into China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Rest of Asia Pacific. The continuous significance of Asia as a manufacturing hub has boosted the intra-Asian container trade boom, with South-East Asia playing an increasingly important role. Moreover, in the past few years, this region has witnessed rapid economic development as well as growth in the maritime trade. The rise in seaborne trade has subsequently led to an increase in demand for ships that are used to transport manufactured goods to various regions worldwide.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BatteryResourcers--Orbia leads again with an additional $70 million in funding to support Battery Resourcers in expanding its global operations in commercial lithium-ion battery recycling. Orbia Ventures and Koura initiated this funding round after steering the investor syndicate that backed closed-loop lithium-ion battery recycler and manufacturer Battery Resourcers to develop its first commercial processing facility. Orbia and Koura have been joined by Hitachi Ventures, InMotion Ventures (JLR), Doral Energy, At One Ventures, TDK Ventures and Trumpf Ventures for this investment.
Analysts predict at least 145 million active electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030 and governments worldwide are implementing adoption incentives and lithium-ion battery recycling mandates for EVs reaching end-of-life. With this investment round, Battery Resourcers will bring two additional commercial-scale processing facilities online in 2022 to meet surging demand for battery recycling and sustainably-sourced materials.
Sameer Bharadwaj, CEO of Orbia, said, “Battery Resourcers has made incredible progress in developing their industry-leading battery recycling and manufacturing technology. The advancements in pilot stage, combined with this round of funding, enables the company to rapidly scale to meet customer demand.”

Today, Battery Resourcers offers us a compelling investment as well as development opportunities that leverage our combined capabilities to deliver sustainable solutions for industries and consumers.”
Orbia, a global leader in specialty products and innovative solutions spanning the precision agriculture, data communications, building and infrastructure, fluorinated solutions and polymer solutions verticals, first announced its Series B investment in Battery Resourcers in April 2021 through its Orbia Ventures arm.
Koura, Orbia’s business focused on the development, manufacture and supply of fluoroproducts and technologies, is engaged in several initiatives with Battery Resourcers to develop and deploy technologies to recycle battery materials and enable gains in efficiency and sustainability. Koura is executing on a comprehensive energy materials strategy with an emphasis on electrolyte salts, binders and high-performance electrolyte additives and solvents from its new Koflyte line. In addition, Koura is working with Battery Resourcers to integrate recycled materials into the battery supply chains in North America and Europe and is supporting Battery Resourcers’ commercialization efforts in those markets.
Said Mike O’Kronley, CEO of Battery Resourcers, “The partnership we have with Orbia and Koura has blossomed from a vision for a circular future and through solving for the most critical part of an integrated supply chain: the battery chemistries themselves. Koura’s ownership of raw assets and expertise in battery materials is second to none. Together, I look forward to driving the clean transition locally and globally.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#EMAP--Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and UL, the global safety science leader, today announced the new Extended Manufacturing Assembly Process (EMAP) enabling UL authorized assemblers to apply the UL Certification Mark to a compliant product at a location that is outside of the physical location manufacturing factories. With a new process that is all-digital, Schneider Electric is the world’s first manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment, devices and software to utilize EMAP. Unveiled with the new FlexSeT switchboard, Schneider Electric has launched the industry’s first device compliant with the process’s rigorous standards. EMAP-authorized assembly sites must meet the same qualifications as a UL authorized factory through three key steps in the overall process:
UL and Schneider Electric collaborated to create the Extended Manufacturing Assembly Process to enhance the assembly experience with digital integrations that offer efficiency, accuracy, and time savings. The process provides a best-in-class digital journey through the design, build, and operate phases, making assembly, maintenance, and updates easy to manage throughout the product lifecycle.
By creating a unique “digital twin” for each product, assemblers are guided step-by-step through the assembly process by a visual model, and customers and maintenance workers can easily identify any components requiring updates or replacement. The modular design also provides more seamless installation and maintenance without specialized training for different devices.
“We are incredibly proud of the standards EMAP sets for the industry and the trust it provides for businesses around the world,” said Milan Dotlich, Vice President and General Manager, Energy and Industrial Automation for UL. “The process we’ve developed with Schneider Electric provides much-needed opportunities to expand the scope of cutting-edge equipment outside of a select few locations, while still ensuring every device meets the highest level of quality for safety and reliability.”
“As the first UL-certified switchboard utilizing EMAP in the industry, FlexSeT is the next step in the digital transformation of the industry,” said Guillaume Le Gouic, Senior Vice President of Power Systems at Schneider Electric. “We’re extremely grateful to UL for their leadership and collaboration in establishing the new process, and the commitment it provides to our customers and distributors.”

Five local families will never have to worry about their energy bills again, thanks to the $250k donation from solar provider Atlantic Key Energy
PENSACOLA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This Saturday, local solar provider Atlantic Key Energy made a life-changing donation for five families in the Pensacola area. The donation, which amounts to $250k, will cover solar systems for all five family homes.
Atlantic Key Energy has been serving the state of Florida since 2019, helping families save money with the sun. The company stands by their mission to serve others and help them achieve more, and applies it to everything that they do. From this sentiment came their partnership with the local organization Feed Fosters NWF.
The company consistently sponsors the monthly meals that the organization provides to over 200 families throughout the northwest region of Florida.
“Being a parent is a huge responsibility, and these parents have twice the amount of responsibility if not more. It is a thankless job to look after the vulnerable members of society that have no one else. That is why we felt this giveaway was a great way to give back to families in the community that deserve it,” says CEO Brian Schonbeck.
In addition to their work with Feed Fosters NWF, Atlantic Key is a proud partner of the GivePower Foundation, whose solar water farms sustainably create access to clean water in water-scarce regions worldwide.
Atlantic Key Energy serves the Sunshine State and has expanded to Arkansas, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina with 16 local offices and over 700 employees.

OSLO, Norway & STERLING, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#LeifErikson--Bulk Fiber Networks, a leading builder and operator of fiber network infrastructure in the Nordics, and WFN Strategies, a leading submarine cable planning, engineering, and implementation firm, together announce commencement of a feasibility study for the prospective Leif Erikson cable project, unlocking the global renewable giants Norway and Canada.
The Leif Erikson Cable System will consist of a 4.200 km direct link between southern Norway and Atlantic-Canada connecting into Goose Bay, including plans to extend the system terrestrially back to Montreal. The Leif Erikson system will be the first trans-Atlantic cable powered with 100% renewable energy in line with Bulk’s vision to bring sustainable infrastructure to a global audience.
The Leif Erikson subsea fiber cable will form a northern route between Norway and Canada with 100% renewable energy feed from both sides of the Atlantic.
The feasibility study will be used for survey and construction planning, hazard identification, risk management, and budget and economic modeling. In addition, the feasibility study will develop sustainability requirements for the supply chain and life cycle management.
Bulk Infrastructure owns and operates more than 10,000 km of international and intra-Nordic high-capacity subsea and terrestrial fiber networks, including four live subsea fiber systems, one under construction and the Leif Erikson system now kicking off detailed planning.
WFN Strategies will act as the project planner, designer, and implementer, establishing an initial understanding of the telecommunications infrastructure which will need to be constructed; creating a high-level plan (technical requirements and timeline) for developing that infrastructure; identifying any obstacles or issues in constructing the infrastructure; and providing budgetary cost estimates for the Leif Erikson Cable System project. WFN will bring long term industry experience into the project planning and management.
“We are pleased to formally kick off the Leif Erikson project together with WFN,” said Peder Naerboe, Founder & Executive Chairman at Bulk. “WFN’s experience with submarine cable projects in the arctic regions as well as their determination to include Sustainability as a key element all through the project management makes them the ideal partner for us in a project like Leif Erikson.”
“We are excited to be working with Bulk in preparing the Feasibility Study for the Leif Erikson submarine cable project,” said WFN Strategies Managing Director, Wayne Nielsen. “Bulk Fiber Networks continues to demonstrate success in project execution and making sustainable digital infrastructure available for a rapidly expanding industry. This project draws nicely on our cable engineering and development capabilities, and we look forward to supporting this new system.”
In the Norwegian end of the Leif Erikson system, a prosperous Nordic Data Center industry is rapidly becoming a sustainability hub in European Digital Infrastructure. The Nordic governments support digital infrastructure development at scale. As an example the Norwegian government issued in 2018 a national data center strategy: “Powered by Nature: Norway as a Data Center Nation.” A critical element to achieving this vision of the Nordics as a sustainable Digital Infrastructure hub in Europe, is the availability of high-capacity dark fiber, including low-latency pathways to North America and Central Europe. The Leif Erikson system would be a hallmark project in such respect, and would furthermore be the first trans-Atlantic fiber system that would be powered by 100% renewable energy in both ends. This was also acknowledged by the Global Carrier Awards when shortlisting Leif Erikson for special recognition in the 2021 awards to be announced later this month.
About Bulk Fiber Networks AS
Bulk Fiber Networks is a leading builder and operator of fiber network infrastructure, tailor-made to meet the growing demands of large-scale data and cloud service providers in the Nordics, the US and Europe. We offer some of the shortest, lowest-latency international and intra-Nordic fiber routes available.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CIM Group announced today that it has expanded its investment in Bolder Industries, a pioneer in converting end-of-life tires into sustainable carbon black and petrochemical alternatives.
CIM Group’s expanded partnership with Bolder Industries, a certified B Corporation, will support the organization’s growth and advancement of ESG initiatives on a global scale. Certified B Corporations are global businesses that have been rigorously vetted for adherence to social and environmental standards and that are committed to balancing purpose and profit.
Since its founding in 2011, Bolder Industries has been a leader in the waste-to-value sector by turning end-of-life tires into raw resources through its proprietary low-emissions process. Bolder Industries’ flagship product is BolderBlack®, a more sustainable and less expensive alternative to virgin carbon black—a petroleum product used primarily in tire, rubber, and other black plastic production. The company also produces recycled oil that it sells under the BolderOil™ name and steel known as BolderSteel™. CIM Group was an early investor with Bolder from the development of its first production facility to delivery to market of its products.
“CIM Group believes in Bolder Industries as we have seen firsthand the evolution from development of the first production line reusing what historically was deemed waste, to today as the company provides customers with valuable, sustainable products. Our additional support aids the company’s expansion of its highly regarded products and programs. Bolder Industries’ approach and products place it at the forefront of sustainable industries which aligns with CIM’s longstanding ESG commitment,” said Avi Shemesh, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group.
Bolder Industries products are currently used in more than 300 products including tires, automotive parts, wetsuits, phone cases, and more, and meets the needs of global brands that are committed to sustainability, greenhouse gas emission offsets, and reduced water and power use.
Bolder Industries’ expansion comes on the convergence of three global trends: increased consumer demand for sustainability; the shift of environmental responsibility from consumers to product producers; and the increase in speed to scalability.
“Our vision is to transform what it means to be a sustainable, environmentally-conscious company and we’re incredibly humbled by the support we’ve gained to do so,” said Tony Wibbeler, Bolder Industries CEO. “Bolder Industries is scaling at such a speed that enables existing customers to expand their business with us when they want to and new partners can see impact quickly.”
Since its inception in 1994, CIM has focused on real estate and infrastructure projects that serve the needs of communities throughout the Americas and is committed to investing in sustainable assets. In addition to Bolder Industries, CIM is an investor in an affiliate of MAS Energy, LLC, a privately held owner, developer, and operator of North American Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) production assets and biogas to power facilities.

Chairman credits the Port’s People and Partners for Historic Success
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Thursday, Port Houston Chairman Ric Campo delivered the 2021 State of the Port address to a sold-out audience, which observed COVID-19 protocols at the Greater Houston Partnership's first in-person event since the start of the pandemic.
"The state of the Port is amazing," Chairman Campo declared. His address emphasized the extraordinary efforts of people and partnerships working together through extraordinary times.
"Lead, follow, or get out of the way – that's how Houston gets it done," said the Chairman, as he echoed others' sentiments regarding the remarkable acceleration of the billion-dollar expansion and widening of the Houston Ship Channel.
"This is the fastest a project of this magnitude has ever moved in America, and it's because of the people and partners who are getting it done, by working and doing the heavy lifting together," he said of the waterway expansion and deepening effort called Project 11.
Ranked as the #1 busiest port in the nation and known as the "Energy Capital of the World," the Port of Houston's success can be attributed to a diversity of cargoes and balance of imports and exports, Chairman Campo said.
“Ultimately, however, people make the difference in the success of the Port of Houston,” he said as he saluted the continued commitment of the Port's people, partners, and channel users.
In his remarks, he spoke of the remarkable spirit of collaboration and cooperation, people working together on the frontlines and behind the scenes under extraordinary circumstances to ensure the continued successful delivery of cargo, product, and supplies, and of helping to sustain a vital source of economic activity and jobs for the region, state of Texas, and the nation.
However, Chairman Campo acknowledged that Port Houston public facilities are not immune to pandemic-induced strains on the global supply chain, but Port Houston staff and partners continue to work to keep freight moving to handle the historic surge in import container cargo.
Looking to the future and Port Houston's commitment to reinvestment, Chairman Campo further highlighted the progress of the channel expansion and deepening program, adding that he looks forward to Port Commission consideration next week of the first Project 11 dredging contract. He shared that Port Houston fully expects the winning proposal to balance environmental, economic, and social issues in the best way for the entire community.
The Chairman also spotlighted Port Houston's 100% renewable asset-backed electricity program, the first such program by a seaport in the United States. Efforts like this and others have resulted in a transformative 55% reduction in the carbon emissions footprint of Port Houston's public terminals.
Chairman Campo proudly underscored the Port Commission's adoption of a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) Statement and Business Equity Program, expanding on Port Houston's successful Small Business Development Program to target minority and women-owned business enterprises participating in procurement and contracting processes. "Building capacity is also about diversity," he said. "If we do well, our community should do well too."
Chairman Campo's profound message stressed Port Houston's responsibility for creating a long-term legacy of economic impact, by creating jobs and investing in infrastructure to ensure competitive opportunities for the region and state of Texas and the nation.
"Ultimately, it's about taking care of people working every day, making sure they have the support and resources to feed their families," Chairman Campo said.
