Electric propulsion for work boats
Reliable marine installations for daily use
More and more organisations are switching to electric propulsion. Not only because of emission reduction, but mainly because of reliability, lower operational costs and peace of mind on board. E-WERF converts work boats, patrol boats, ferries and maintenance vessels to fully electric propulsion. We do this with customised installations developed from our experience in commercial shipping.
For many public contracts - by water boards, municipalities, port authorities or other public parties - sustainable and emission-free shipping is an increasingly important selection criterion. Institutions such as the Union of Water Boards explicitly use sustainability and social impact as a starting point in their tendering and procurement policies. In urban and infrastructure projects, too, we see emission-free boating or energy efficiency being part of the contract requirements. By opting for electric or hybrid solutions, you as the client directly meet these sustainability goals.
E-WERF is responding to this development. With our customised electrification and hybrid systems, we offer a future-proof, reliable and low-emission solution for workboats, ferries and maintenance vessels. This not only helps you meet ecological targets, but also increases your chances in tenders.
From design to breakdown service
Always a single point of contact. Fast and transparent
Electrification based on customisation
No two working vessels are the same. The installation is completely designed around the vessel and its usage profile. Power, battery capacity, charging options and integration with existing systems are tailored to the daily operations. The technology must fit the load of a professional vessel and operate reliably under all conditions.
A complete conversion
For a complete conversion, we look beyond just the engine. The underwater hull is assessed and adjusted where necessary. The propeller, propeller shaft and bearings are optimised for electric power. The entire 12V or 24V on-board network is also included, so that all systems continue to work exactly as the crew is used to. If necessary, we replace lead-acid batteries with lithium and integrate them into the new system.

Premium Dealer and System Integrator
Suppliers also choose E-WERF
We are extremely proud that several leading suppliers recognise the quality of our work and put us forward as preferred dealer/installer of their systems. In many cases, we are therefore allowed to provide extra warranty and, because the lines of communication with the suppliers are short, we can often offer solutions that others do not have.
We are also often approached for the development of various applications for the maritime industry. Thanks to our knowledge advantage, we also work with companies to develop integrations, plug-and-play solutions and batteries. All to make your experience even better.
Converting your boat to electric by E-WERF
The best partner for your project in every aspect
Are you looking for a reliable and high-quality installation? Then you have come to the right place at E-WERF. Thanks to our extensive experience and continuous focus on innovation, we offer the most reliable and sustainable solutions.
At our yard, we work on vessels up to 10 metres. For larger yachts, we have access to several locations with slipways and testing facilities. We can also carry out work at other (yard) locations by arrangement.
