Engineering & Construction
Marine electrical engineering and construction for newbuild, retrofit and offshore projects, delivering integrated power, propulsion, automation and control systems from engineered design through construction and system integration.
Service Overview
Integrated Marine Electrical Systems,Engineered and Built for the Application
MJR Power & Automation engineers and constructs marine and offshore electrical power, automation and control systems for newbuild, retrofit and specialist equipment projects. Our capability covers complete electrical packages as well as individual switchboards, motor control centres, drive systems, control systems and distribution equipment.
Projects can bring together power generation and distribution, propulsion, vessel automation, energy storage, shore power, specialist offshore equipment and associated control systems within one coordinated engineering scope. This enables equipment and interfaces to be considered as part of the wider vessel or offshore system rather than as isolated components.
Who this is for Shipyards, vessel owners, offshore contractors, equipment manufacturers, project engineers and procurement teams requiring new electrical systems, replacement equipment or integrated power and control packages for marine and offshore applications.
Key Features
Power, Automation and Control Systems Built Around Your Project
MJR's engineering and construction capability covers a wide range of marine and offshore electrical systems, from vessel switchboards and power management through to propulsion, automation and specialist offshore equipment.
Marine Switchboards — LV & MV
Main and auxiliary switchboard solutions for new and retrofit vessel applications.
Motor Control Centres
Engineered motor control and distribution systems for marine and offshore equipment.
Power Management Systems
Generator and electrical power-management systems for marine, offshore and onshore applications.
Propulsion & DP Systems

Industrial and marine control architectures incorporating PLC, SCADA, DCS and HMI systems.
Hybrid & Energy Storage
Electrical systems supporting hybrid propulsion and energy-storage integration.
Offshore Power & Control
Power, drive and control systems for specialist offshore and subsea equipment.
Engineering & Construction Approach
Coordinated Engineering, Construction and System Integration
MJR combines electrical power, drives, automation and control engineering to deliver systems that work as part of the complete vessel, equipment package or offshore installation. System architecture, equipment interfaces and operational requirements can therefore be considered together during engineering and construction.
MJR also supports project delivery through its Teesside engineering and production capability, allowing marine electrical equipment and integrated systems to move from engineering into physical construction and subsequent project delivery.
Project Definition
Establish system requirements, interfaces, loads, operating conditions and project constraints.
Multi-Discipline Engineering
Coordinate power, propulsion, drives, automation, instrumentation and control requirements.
In-House Construction
Translate engineered designs into switchboards, control systems and integrated electrical packages.
System Integration
Bring individual components and third-party equipment together as part of the complete marine or offshore system.

How It Works
A Coordinated Route from Requirement to Delivered System
Engineering and construction projects vary considerably in scale, but the delivery route connects project requirements with engineering, equipment construction, system verification and integration.
Step 001
Define
Establish the project scope, vessel or equipment requirements, system interfaces and technical constraints.
Step 002
Engineer
Develop the electrical power, automation, control and integration requirements for the agreed system.
Step 003
Construct
Build the required switchboards, control panels, distribution equipment or integrated system package.
Step 004
Test
Verify the constructed system and its interfaces against the agreed project requirements before mobilisation or installation.
Step 005
Deliver
Prepare the completed equipment and documentation for installation, commissioning and integration into the vessel, facility or offshore equipment package.
Applications
Where Engineering & Construction Capability Is Applied
Newbuild Marine Electrical Systems
MJR supports new vessel construction with engineered electrical power, switchboard, automation and control packages. The Parkol Green Isle project is an example, combining main and auxiliary switchboards with generator protection, automation, installation and testing.
Retrofit & Life-Extension Projects
Existing vessels and offshore assets can require replacement of obsolete or ageing power, propulsion, drive and control equipment while retaining interfaces with serviceable systems. MJR's portfolio includes complete propulsion and control retrofits, switchboard replacements and vessel electrical upgrades.
Offshore & Specialist Equipment
MJR also engineers electrical power and control systems for pipelay, cable-lay, subsea, winch, tensioner, carousel and other specialist offshore equipment, including modular and containerised systems.
Deliverables
Engineered Systems Ready for Project Integration
The exact delivery package depends on the project, but MJR's Engineering & Construction scope can combine engineered equipment, integrated power and control systems and the technical information required to take the system forward into installation and commissioning.
Switchboards & Distribution Equipment
LV/MV switchboards, MCCs, protection equipment and associated electrical distribution systems.
Automation & Control Systems
PLC, SCADA, DCS, HMI, vessel automation and specialist control-system packages.
Drive & Power Conversion Systems
Drive systems for propulsion and offshore equipment alongside power-conversion and power-quality equipment.
Integrated Project Package
Constructed equipment, system interfaces and project documentation prepared for subsequent installation, commissioning and handover.
