Submarine engineering

Nevesbu currently supports submarine newbuild and upkeep projects in four countries worldwide. One of these projects involves delivering critical engineering for the Spanish S-80 Plus submarine class. This included the propulsion shaftline. The S80-Plus submarines are advanced submarines provided with, amongst others, a revolutionary AIP system.

"Working on propulsion systems of submarines makes an engineer understand the importance of precision and how harmonically many different parts must be integrated with each other. Nevesbu had the opportunity to work on the propulsion shaftline. Seeing the submarine finally taking the sea was definitely exciting!"
