The marine industry is taking significant steps to reduce its carbon footprint and minimize its impact on the environment. Boat builders and naval architects are now considering the entire lifecycle of their vessels, from the materials used to their end-of-life disposal process. This trend towards eco-conscious practices is particularly noticeable in the yachting industry, where boat builders are launching vessels with a focus on sustainability.

On 26 May 2022, Southern Power hosted a highly anticipated demo of the new OXE Marine 300HP diesel outboard engine, at the V & A Waterfront’s Oceana Powerboat Club in Cape Town. Marine industry stakeholders came to see the renowned performance, endurance and reliability of the OXE 300 first-hand. This engine is a game changer in terms of both power and environmental sustainability.
