Marine electric add-on engine manufacturer, BlueNav, keeps on expanding internationally with 2 new sales and service dealers.

BlueNav has announced a key milestone in its expansion strategy with the appointment of 2 new sales and service dealers for the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

BlueNav, established in 2020, focuses on developing forward-thinking and environmentally conscious motorization solutions. These solutions are designed to convert medium-sized boats, ranging from 8 to 15 meters in length, normally propelled by combustion engines, into hybrid electric boats.

At the heart of their innovation lies BlueSpin, a powerful electric motor equipped with a retractable, compact, and lightweight design. This motor can be effortlessly installed in both newly constructed boats and existing ones as a retrofit option.

BlueSpin seamlessly integrates with an advanced navigation system, enabling optimal energy usage scenarios while utilizing the motor.

The season of trade shows: The perfect time to seal the deal.

As the trade show season is in full swing, BlueNav has attended numerous events as Cannes, IBEX, and Fort Lauderdale. The resounding message is clear: the interest and conviction surrounding BlueNav's hybridization solution are unmistakable.

This week, BlueNav is thrilled to announce the signing of two new distribution contracts, enabling the company to confidently venture into the UK, Irish and Dutch markets.

2 new partnerships to ensure the deployment of BlueNav's products and services.

BlueNav brings a concrete response to the energy transition challenges by offering an easily and immediately implementable solution through hybridization, bringing today's electric mobility to life.

BlueNav has granted exclusive distributorship rights for the UK and Ireland to Technical Marine Supplies and the Netherlands to De Stille Boot.

Starting from METSTRADE 2023, Technical Marine Supplies and De Stille Boot will be responsible for handling sales, service, installation, and after-sales support for BlueNav products in their respective markets, catering to both the leisure and commercial boats.

"TMS is delighted to announce its partnership with BlueNav. With our highly skilled sales and technical teams dedicated to serving the OEM and refit markets in the UK, this collaboration represents a perfect alignment between two industry-leading companies. Our shared commitment to maintaining a robust inventory resonates with BlueNav, and we eagerly anticipate the arrival of our first shipment into the UK. The level of professionalism demonstrated by the BlueNav team has left us thoroughly impressed, and we are excited about forging a strong and enduring partnership." - Nick COOK, Senior Sales Manager of Technical Marine Supplies.

"The BlueSpin range of motors is a very valuable complement to our existing range. It offers solutions for applications that other motor brands cannot. Together with our electric boating expertise we make a great team, coupled with shared values when it comes to sustainable boating." - Marcel SCHAAP, co-founder of De Stille Boot.

With BlueNav international deployment, it is a key step to rely on local dealers to convey BlueNav's vision across their market and participate in offering an unparalleled navigation experience.

"BlueNav's international expansion is driven by its vision to spearhead the evolution of electric propulsion technology in the boating industry, making electric propulsion the new standard. By collaborating with partners and engaging with industry stakeholders globally, we aim to showcase the benefits and possibilities of alternative propulsion systems, including enhanced efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved performance. BlueNav strives to be a catalyst for positive change in the global boating industry." - Thomas FROUIN, co-founder of BlueNav.
