BOS Power Secures Major Contract to Supply IMO Tier III Propulsion Systems for Fast Search and Rescue Vessels in Denmark

BOS Power is proud to announce the successful award of a significant contract to deliver advanced propulsion systems for a fleet of seven fast search and rescue vessels operated by DALO– the Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organization. The vessels will be built at Maritime Partner’s yard in Ålesund, Norway, with delivery of the propulsion system scheduled to commence in 2026 and continue through 2028.

Each vessel measures 21.7 meters in length and 5.9 meters in width and is fitted with BOS Power’s state-of-the-art IMO Tier III certified propulsion systems, delivering high performance while adhering to strict emissions regulations. Designed for long-range operations, these vessels offer an operational range of over 350 nautical miles and can achieve speeds exceeding 35 knots.


Built with advanced safety features

BOS Power is set to deliver seven mtu propulsion systems, each featuring 2 x 10V2000M96L engines rated at 1,193 kW at 2,450 rpm. These systems are equipped with BOS Power SCR technology to ensure full compliance with IMO Tier III emission standards for Search and Rescue (SAR) vessels.

The vessels are custom-built to the highest standards, ensuring their capability to withstand the most demanding maritime conditions while maintaining minimal environmental impact.

The vessels are equipped with advanced safety features, including self-righting capabilities. The propulsion system is certified to meet IMO Tier III emission standards and includes a full 360° capsize rollover kit, allowing the engines to remain operational during a capsize.
