Cox Marine Delivers Record Military Order for V8 Diesel Outboards

Cox Marine, a UK diesel outboard manufacturer, has reached a major milestone with the delivery of ninety-two high-performance V8 diesel outboards to an undisclosed European military fleet — its largest single-customer order to date. In partnership with De Wolf Maritime Safety, the company is strengthening its foothold in both the European and global military marine markets.

A total of ninety-two Cox Marine 300 V8 diesel outboards are currently being installed in twin configurations across a combination of HDPE and aluminium vessels destined for active use by an undisclosed European military customer. This project highlights the versatility of Cox Marine’s outboards and its capacity to deliver high-volume solutions to demanding operational environments.

Hugh Hudleston, Cox Marine’s Global Business Development Director, commented: “We are extremely grateful to be part of this project and proud to see our products deployed across such a substantial fleet. This order not only demonstrates the trust placed in Cox Marine by De Wolf Maritime Safety, but also opens the door to further opportunities in the European and global military marine markets.”

Ad de Wolf, CEO of De Wolf Maritime Safety, added: “Cox Marine’s reliability, performance and ability to fulfil this order on a shortened time frame were key factors in equipping these vessels. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and bringing more advanced solutions to our clients in the military sector.”

Cox Marine looks forward to building on this partnership and exploring future projects that leverage the advantages of diesel outboard propulsion, as well as the expertise of De Wolf Maritime Safety and its other distributors worldwide.
