Offshore wind installations faced with the challenge of acceleration
COP28 and IRENA encourage countries to triple world renewable energy capacity to 11 TW by 2030. This initiative is aimed at fighting again climate change and maintaining the objective of limiting global warming to 1.5 °. In parallel, the energy crisis triggered by a war on the borders of Europe has increased the political will to accelerate the deployment of renewable energies as the main and inescapable solution. The offshore wind power market, in particular, is undergoing rapid growth, with the power of planned installations of 30 GW in 2026 and 50 GW by 2030. The European Union actively supports this sector to make it possible to achieve the carbon neutrality objective by 2050.

Discover our innovative processes designed for the offshore industry
Relying upon expertise gained over more than 30 years in the shipbuilding industry, Axima Marine and Noske-Kaeser, develop, manufacture and maintain HVAC, refrigeration and fire protection systems for electrical platforms at sea, capable of managing levels of power ranging from a few hundred megawatts to 2 gigawatts in the largest farms (HVDC Technology).
Our systems are designed to withstand the most extreme environmental conditions, offering reliable performance in strong winds and at extreme temperatures and resisting against corrosion. During the maintenance phases, we give absolute priority to the safety of the workforce, by ensuring optimal air quality, preventing the accumulation of toxic gases, and by controlling temperature and humidity efficiently.
Designed to minimise maintenance requirements, our systems integrate remote monitoring systems and preventive maintenance routines, ensuring maximum reliability. We also optimise energy efficiency to reduce operating costs and the carbon footprint, thus guaranteeing sustainable performance and respecting the environment.
Manufactured according to the strict standards of the offshore industry, our solutions are designed for continuous operation for30 years without major intervention. This necessitates the installation of HVAC & refrigeration modules of exceptional robustness, using top quality materials, and extremely reliable equipment.
We offer our customers advice and support to enable them to obtain turnkey and custom solutions.
Flagship solutions combining the performance, sustainability and safety of your offshore installations
Low-noise individual or collective air conditioning systems, for the comfort of the crew in accordance with international naval health and safety regulations.
Calculation of the most efficient cooling capacity and dimensioning of the equipment. Supply of different types of cooler technology, including innovative, low energy consumption equipment.
Design entirely integrated into the general arrangement (G.A.) of the ship thanks to compact coordination of ducts, pipes and electricity systems, offering easy/intelligent maintenance.
Integration of high efficiency sea mist eliminators and of louvers to preserve the HVAC installation downstream.
Dedicated or integrated automation system to manage the installations, optimise their energy efficiency and to contribute to safety and maintenance management. Specially designed for unmanned installations.
The HVAC system is designed and adapted to the specific requirements of the compartment (internal loads, specific function, redundancy, etc...). The firefighting system is designed and adapted to the specific requirements of the compartment (CO², NOVEC, HP or LP water mist system).
We manufacture custom electrical switchboards and control panels which allow you to have a quick and comprehensive overview of the different systems installed on board. The equipment is designed taking account of the ships' constraints (EMC compatibility, compactness, compact power supply, AC/DC power supply, vibration resistance). The electrical switchboards and control panels guarantee operation in complete safety for customers and in compliance with international regulations.
