AEGIR-Marine wins Schuttevaer Award 2025
AEGIR-Marine is pleased to announce that it has won the prestigious Schuttevaer Award 2025 in recognition for its pioneering techniques of remanufacturing in the maritime industry.
This has involved AEGIR-Marine’s establishment of the Maritime Remanufacturing Network which
aims to accelerate sustainability in the maritime industry. The award was presented during the
Schuttevaer Expo, a maritime knowledge sharing and networking event held at RDM Rotterdam, the
Netherlands and organised by the Dutch media outlet Schuttevaer.
The Schuttevaer Award 2025 was presented to AEGIR-Marine based on votes received from a jury of
maritime industry professionals and visitors to the Schuttevaer Expo event. Votes were cast after the
four finalists had each given a short presentation pitch about their particular subject. The three other
finalists were Groeneveldt Marine Construction, Mourik EGP, and Nedcargo & Den Bosch Max.
AEGIR-Marine’s Commercial Director Paul Grizell attended the Schuttevaer Expo to present the aims
and interim findings of the Maritime Remanufacturing Network. “We are so proud to see the subject
of remanufacturing receive the attention it deserves,” he says. “Although the maritime industry
continues to make steady progress with sustainability issues, there is still so much to do in so many
disciplines. By setting up the Maritime Remanufacturing Network, we wanted to concentrate on
increasing the lifespan of ship components through the process of remanufacturing.”
“Remanufacturing really is a ground-breaking technique for the maritime industry,” Paul continues.
“The traditional activities of repairing, overhauling or reconditioning keep components in operational
service for a certain – but limited – amount of time. Remanufacturing, on the other hand, brings
components back to their original new-build specifications. A whole new lease of life that yields
substantial economic and environmental benefits.”
AEGIR-Marine established the Maritime Remanufacturing Network in 2023 to share knowledge and
expertise about the process of remanufacturing. The Network’s inaugural project involves the
remanufacturing of a 20-year-old tunnel thruster. AEGIR-Marine is cooperating with the Delft
University of Technology, classification society Bureau Veritas, and shipping company JR Shipping in
the execution of this first project.
“We would very much like to thank the jury and the visitors to the Schuttevaer Expo for their votes.
This helps us increase the awareness of the Maritime Remanufacturing Network and advance this
crucial technique,” Paul concludes.
