ABOUT US
Specialist Propulsion Engineers for the International Superyacht Industry
Marine Propulsion is a specialist marine engineering company based in Auckland, New Zealand, providing world-class propulsion engineering services for superyachts, commercial vessels, and technically demanding marine projects.
Although New Zealand serves as the operational base for much of our work, our expertise extends globally through dedicated international project support. We deploy our specialist capabilities wherever complex projects demand them, allowing vessel operators and management companies to maintain seamless continuity across their engineering programmes, regardless of the project's location.
⚙
Built for Complex Engineering Projects
Marine Propulsion was established to deliver specialist propulsion engineering rather than general marine maintenance.
The business remains focused on this, allowing our team to concentrate on technically demanding projects requiring precision engineering, careful planning and experienced personnel.
⚙
International Superyacht Expertise
Owners Ben Jansen and Keith Watson each bring more than 20 years of experience working within the international superyacht industry.
That experience shapes the way every project is delivered - from early technical discussions and engineering planning through to installation, commissioning and sea trials.
Supporting them is a carefully selected team of experienced marine engineers who share the same commitment to technical excellence and quality workmanship.
We don't aim to be the largest engineering company. We aim to be the company trusted with the most demanding propulsion projects.
⚙
The Way We Work
Successful propulsion projects begin well before engineering work starts.
Marine Propulsion works closely with captains, chief engineers, yacht management companies, naval architects, OEM suppliers and shipyards to define project scope, coordinate engineering activities and prepare for the vessel's arrival.
This collaborative approach ensures projects are delivered efficiently and to the standards expected within the international superyacht industry.
