BLUE CONNECT
The ultimate alternative maritime power solution for high & low voltage shore connections. Plugging into an onshore power source through BLUE CONNECT enables vessels to shut down their auxiliary engines, as it covers their energy demands while at berth.
ERMA FIRST BLUE CONNECT BREAKDOWN
ERMA FIRST’s BLUE CONNECT system is a revolutionary high-voltage alternative maritime power (AMP) solution suitable for both retrofit and newbuild installations. The system is available in a containerised or stand-alone version. Standard models currently cater to Ro-Ro, Ro-Pax, PCTC and ferries as well as container ships, cruise ships and tankers, but the system can be tailored to the needs of other vessel types.
Based on vessel requirements, BLUE CONNECT is available in four configurations: low-voltage fixed connection, low-voltage portable connection, high-voltage fixed connection and high-voltage portable connection. The low-voltage options are designed for ships with an onboard power distribution of 440 V/60 Hz, while the high-voltage versions serve vessels with a power distribution of 11 or 6.6 kV/60 Hz. The fixed systems are suitable for ships requiring connection from one side only and involve a permanent connection to the main switchboard. The portable system enables a plug-in connection at the port or starboard side of the vessel.
BLUE CONNECT includes a cable management system (CMS) for connecting the vessel to shore, a power transformer to convert high-voltage to low-voltage and the necessary switchgear to protect crew and equipment. Operation is controlled and monitored by the shore-connection main control panel, while power changeover supports shore-to-vessel synchronisation to ensure an uninterrupted power supply upon connection. The solution can also be integrated with the vessel’s alarm-monitoring and/or power-management system.
BLUE CONNECT is available for: Ro-Ro/Ro-Pax, PCTC, Ferries, Containers, Cruise and Tankers.

Access to ERMA FIRST’s global service network
ERMA FIRST BLUE CONNECT is a shore power containerized system designed for high voltage shore connection, according to ‘IEC/IEEE/ISO 8005-1-2019: High Voltage Shore Connection Systems - General Requirements’.
FLEX SERIES
FLEXCAP | FLEXRING | FLEXFINS
Improving EEXI. Reducing Emissions. Staying Compliant.
FLEXCAP
Optimise CII and EEXI performance, reduce fuel consumption, minimise operational expenses, increase propulsive efficiency, improve engine load, wear, and component lifecycle, bespoke design.
ERMA FIRST FLEXCAP helps to reduce the formation of hub vortex, which can reduce the propeller’s efficiency and cause cavitation and noise. The fins cancel out the vortices generated at the root of each blade, reducing the torque demanded for the same RPM and can occasionally generate additional thrust.
Diameter: Approximately 23%-25% of the propeller diameter
Weight: Roughly 3% of the propeller weight (no need for shaft alignment recalculation)
Material: ERMA FIRST FLEXCAP is made from NiAlBronze, the same material as the propeller, ensuring durability and longevity
*The dimensions and weight may vary based on specific design but are not expected to increase significantly.
FLEXRING
The ring guides the flow towards the propeller in a way that it increases the speed at the areas of obstructed flow and improves propulsive efficiency. Additionally, there is some thrust that develops on the duct and with proper alignment of the fins (optional) a pre swirl effect is created, increasing further the efficiency of the propeller.
Easy-to-assemble parts and quick installation, Case-specific adjustments
FLEXFINS
A set of fins properly placed and aligned, guide the flow around the hull in a way that it is more evenly distributed, reducing resistance, and assisting in directing better flow to the propeller. Minimal intervention to the hull, Same day installation
In the ever-evolving maritime sector, meeting stringent environmental regulations while maintaining operational efficiency is a constant challenge. The ERMA FIRST solutions – FLEXCAP (Propeller Cap), FLEXRING (Duct), and FLEXFINS (Hull Fins) – offer a comprehensive approach to navigating these complexities. By integrating the ERMA FIRST FLEX Series into your operations, you’ll not only achieve significant efficiency gains and cost reductions but also ensure compliance with the most rigorous environmental standards. This positions your enterprise as a forward-thinking leader in the maritime industry, committed to sustainability and innovation.
