Off Piste Marine Partner With Proteum and OXE Diesel Outboards

Proteum, the UK’s premier distributor of OXE Marine Diesel outboards, announce a strategic partnership with Off Piste Marine. The collaboration will see the high-performance OXE 300hp diesel outboard engines integrated into an innovative new vessel designed for the superyacht, commercial, military, and explorer yacht markets.

The partnership represents a significant step forward in marine propulsion innovation, combining Off Piste Marine’s advanced vessel design expertise with the proven reliability and performance of OXE Diesel engines.

“This collaboration perfectly demonstrates the versatility and capability of OXE Diesel outboards,” said Simon Barnett, Sales Manager at Proteum Ltd. “Off Piste Marine’s innovative approach to vessel design aligns seamlessly with OXE’s commitment to delivering powerful, reliable, and efficient marine propulsion solutions across diverse maritime applications.”

The OXE 300hp diesel outboards selected for this project offer exceptional fuel efficiency, extended range capabilities, and the durability required for demanding marine environments – from luxury superyacht tenders to commercial and military applications.

“We’re excited to support Off Piste Marine’s vision and look forward to building on this partnership as we continue to advance marine propulsion technology together,” added Neil Taylor, General Manager at Proteum Ltd. “This project showcases the perfect synergy between innovative design and proven engineering excellence.”

The collaboration marks the beginning of what both companies anticipate will be a long-term strategic relationship, with potential for expanded cooperation across multiple vessel projects and market segments.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
