Revenue model

1. Custom Maritime Propulsion Systems: Nogva designs and builds propulsion systems exclusively for individual vessels, optimised for the specific operating conditions of each vessel. This includes diesel, electric, and hybrid solutions. Revenue is generated from the design, manufacturing, and sale of complete propulsion packages including motors, gears, propellers, and control systems. This is a project-based, high-value, long-cycle revenue stream typical of custom maritime equipment manufacturers.
2. Marine and Industrial Generators / Aggregates: Nogva builds marine and industrial generator sets based on engines from Cummins, Scania, John Deere, and Nanni. Generators are sold as configured units ranging from small 7kW to large 500kVA+ models. Both open (cabinet) and enclosed configurations are available. Revenue is generated from unit sales of generator sets, with pricing varying by power rating, cooling type, environmental class, and rating (CON, PRP, VSA).
3. Spare Parts (Delelager): Nogva operates a dedicated spare parts warehouse, supplying original replacement parts for its propulsion systems, generators, and related maritime equipment. This provides a recurring revenue stream from after-market part sales and supports the group's service operations.
4. Service, Maintenance and Aftermarket: Through its subsidiaries (ET Hydraulikk, Marine Parts & Propulsion, Maritim Motor) and its own service organisation, Nogva provides ongoing service, maintenance, and support for maritime propulsion and generator systems. This includes field service, remote monitoring (via Nogva Motor Computer and RCS), and planned maintenance programs. The recent acquisitions have doubled the size of the group's service and aftermarket revenue.
