Skan El is an independent electrical engineering company within the maritime sector, based in Ålesund, Norway. With more than 50 years of experience, we deliver design and planning of complete electrical installations for modern and technologically advanced vessels. Our team consists of six highly qualified professionals, engineers and electrical specialists, all with a solid background in the maritime industry.
We work closely with shipyards, shipowners, and ship design companies, as well as electrical installation firms, both nationally and internationally. Our role is to contribute technical quality, precision, and efficient solutions throughout the entire project lifecycle.
In addition to electrical design and project planning, we perform FMEA analyses (Failure Modes & Effects Analysis), a mandatory requirement for vessels classified as DP2 and DP3. We also actively participate in FMEA testing to verify that systems meet the strictest requirements for safety, functionality, and reliability.
As an IMCA member, we offer Annual DP Trials, performing at-sea tests to verify FMEA analysis over time.
Skan El is involved in shipbuilding projects across multiple continents. Site visits to shipyards are a regular part of our work, with ongoing contracts in China, Chile, Croatia, Spain, Turkey, India, and Norway.
One day, we might travel just 30 minutes to a shipyard in Hareid or Brattvåg, near Ålesund. The next, we could be on a 20-hour flight to the other side of the world, visiting a project in India or China.
The maritime industry faces growing environmental and technological challenges. With stricter demands for reduced emissions and an increased reliance on electricity, the future of shipbuilding will require innovative systems to preserve the environment.
