At the Sea Ranger Service, every aspect of our work is guided by a deep commitment to sustainability – from how we train young talent to how we operate our ships. That is why the process of building our newest vessel was not just about construction; it was about collaboration. One of the key partners who made this possible is Navico Group, a leader in marine technology.

Bringing navigation and power systems to life

Navico Group played a critical role in equipping our ship with two vital systems:

  • B&G navigation technology, known for its high accuracy and reliability in complex sea conditions.
  • Mastervolt power systems, designed to efficiently manage onboard energy, minimising waste and ensuring smooth operations even in the most challenging environments.

From the very first design conversations to the final installation, Navico Group’s team worked closely with us – visiting the vessel, refining technical details, and ensuring our crew felt confident using the new systems. Their hands-on guidance did not just ensure technical excellence, it also built a strong sense of partnership.

A partnership built on shared values

What makes this collaboration so meaningful is the alignment between our missions. Navico Group saw in the Sea Ranger Service not just a shipbuilder, but an organisation working to train the next generation of maritime professionals while championing sustainable operations.

As Martin van Bakkum from Navico Group explains:

“We chose to partner with the Sea Ranger Service because we believe in their vision of combining maritime excellence with social and environmental responsibility. This project represents a shared commitment to nurturing new talent and advocating for a more sustainable future at sea – values that deeply resonate with our team.”

Innovation in action

What makes this technology partnership stand out is not just the equipment itself, but the way it was tailored to our unique mission. From enabling safe navigation during environmental monitoring, to ensuring reliable power for both research equipment and daily operations, every system was chosen with care. Together, B&G and Mastervolt technologies create a seamless, future-proof setup that will serve us well as we expand our work across European waters and beyond.

Technology for a greater purpose

For the Sea Ranger Service, this is more than a ship upgrade. With partners like Navico Group, we’re not only advancing the capabilities, but also showing that responsible maritime innovation is possible when technology, sustainability, and social impact go hand in hand.

As our new ship embarks on its first missions, we’re proud to know that every piece of technology onboard reflects the values we stand for: excellence at sea, innovation for the future, and a deep commitment to protecting the environment.
