As an independent energy transition enabler for the maritime sector, NatPower Marine is committed to significantly reducing emissions both onshore and at sea.
Join us in driving sustainable innovation and transforming the future of marine transportation.
We are a team of clean energy and maritime specialists
NatPower Marine is accelerating the maritime energy transition by delivering clean, intelligent energy infrastructure at scale. By 2030, we aim to unlock more than £3 billion of global investment, supporting 120 ports and 50 shipping lines in decarbonising their operations.
We are building a global network of shore power and electric propulsion infrastructure, enabling vessels to operate on clean electricity for both cold ironing and propulsion. Through smart, digitalised and scalable energy systems, we help the maritime sector reduce emissions, cut costs and comply with regulations—supporting a faster, more practical transition to low-carbon shipping.
We are part of the NatPower Group, a well-capitalised global energy provider and developer, committed to accelerating the global maritime industry’s energy transition worldwide.
WHAT WE OFFER
Powering shipping on clean energy
The maritime industry has a significant emissions profile, emitting equivalent CO2 to major economies like Germany. In cities that host ports, between 30-35% of SOx, NOx and PMx emissions are generated by ships.
Decarbonising the maritime industry demands a mass transformation, requiring every ship, port and cargo owner to plot a course to a cleaner future.
We deliver and operate the charging infrastructure to provide intelligent electric fuel to vessels, in the most relevant locations. As a global partner, we use our unique data-led insights to understand the needs of our customers and provide them with the right infrastructure, in the right place, at the right time.
We use our strong financial backing to remove the critical barriers to progress – the upfront infrastructure investment and service risk adoption. We take this on, so our customers don’t have to.
A successful transformation of the maritime industry:
What We Do

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Plotting a course
The world our customers inhabit is changing – it’s a global problem requiring a global, integrated solution. At NatPower Marine, we act as a strategic partner to our customers, helping connect the dots and guide them to a sustainable future by providing support across their global operations.
Cleaner shipping
We are passionate about a cleaner future for the maritime sector. NatPower Marine is working to better enable the industry to drastically cut CO2, NOx and SOx emissions, ensuring regulatory compliance, improved air quality in port-side communities, and providing support to the implementation of sustainable supply chains. We help fleets migration providing the other half of the coin, a global charging network.
Together
Despite their interdependency, each port, ship operator and cargo owner is on its own transition pathway and adopting solutions ‘in the blind’. But success cannot be achieved in isolation. That’s why NatPower Marine is creating a global network of forward-thinking businesses, to act together to drive the maritime energy transition forward.
