"KS Elektro has chosen Anda-Olsen's FlexiPro three-phase UPS solution as the central UPS system for newbuild vessels at Karstensen Shipyard. We also use the solution for retrofit installations on older vessels.
We feel that the balance between price and quality is very good. Installation is straightforward, and the system requires less space compared to other solutions. Once the system is installed, it is essentially plug-and-play. We switch it on, and it works. No additional setup is required. One of the most important factors for us is the service. We receive prompt support whenever we have questions or need assistance."Helge Johansen, KS Elektro
A UPS solution that works in practice
The reason Karstensen has chosen Anda-Olsen again is straightforward. The solution works well in practice. It is efficient to install, easy to commission, space-saving, and built on technology the customer already knows from previous deliveries.
In this delivery, Anda-Olsen will supply its FlexiPro 3-phase UPS solution as the central UPS for new pelagic trawlers. The systems are adapted for use with shaft generator setups and build on a solution the customer already knows well from earlier projects.
Through the previous deliveries, Karstensen has provided good and constructive feedback. Those lessons have been carried forward into the new deliveries. The solution is fundamentally the same, but refined through practical use and experience from earlier projects.
That is an important part of the value. The customer gets a solution that is familiar, proven, and well suited for newbuild projects where efficient installation and predictable commissioning matter.
Small footprint and efficient installation
For the yard and the installer, the value is mainly practical. FlexiPro is built as an all-in-one system. This reduces the need for external components and supports a more efficient installation process. Its compact design also makes it easier to place the solution in technical rooms where space is limited.
This combination is exactly what makes Anda-Olsen attractive in maritime projects. The solution has a small footprint, is easy to install and commission, and builds on proven technology that works well in serial newbuild programs.
The systems are developed for demanding maritime environments and can be adapted to each project with customised input and output distribution, isolation transformer options, monitoring, and installation-specific adjustments. They are also designed for easy service access and maintenance. This makes day-to-day work easier both during the project phase and later in operation.
Value for the yard, shipowner and crew
When a shipyard chooses the same supplier again, it says a great deal about how the solution performs over time.
For Karstensen, this means a central UPS solution that is efficient to install and commission. For the shipowner and crew, it means a solution that supports more streamlined operation and maintenance. For Anda-Olsen, it confirms that maritime experience, compact systems, and project-specific adaptation create real value in the market.
This new delivery strengthens Anda-Olsen’s position in maritime newbuilds and shows why customers continue the collaboration.
We support shipyards, installers, and shipowners with reliable UPS solutions for maritime newbuilds.
