The transaction brings together Aqua superPower’s existing international charging network with NatPower Marine’s infrastructure development and execution model, creating a unified platform for marine electrification. “Aqua superPower is the largest infrastructure of Ev chargers in marinas. This is why our union is the way to increase our presence in the world of marinas. We have also our activities in the shore power in different ports and different places in the world. This step brings us in a position to be even more focused on hydrogen, after the big electrification of the ports and the marinas”, said Fabrizio Zago, ceo of NatPower announcing the operation at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge.

The Yacht Club de Monaco was the first location worldwide to install an Aqua fast charger in 2019, demonstrating how commitment to infrastructure leads to the adoption of electric marine technology. “We’ve been building a network for about 5-6 years and we now have more than 80 fast chargers in place, mainly in the USA and Europe. We see a huge opportunity to transition more into commercial space and this is what we see happening now. They’ll be focusing on the larger plugs in a lot of commercial ports like in Italy, UK, Spain and China. We’re going to be working with them to put in all the charging for the vessels”, said Stewart Wilkinson, ceo of ATV Power, the parent company of Aqua superPower.
