SES Europe company profile

SES Europe AS (SE) is a Norwegian limited company established in 1998. SE is a subsidiary to Effect Ships International AS (ESI), the owner of the Air Supported Vessel (ASV) technology, patents and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Our vision: To provide the commercial -, naval and civil markets with new improved air cushion technology - enabling design and operation of a new generation of ROBUST, EFFICIENT, ECONOMICAL and ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY VESSELS AND SHIPS. Whereas conventional crafts of most categories have limited optimization potential, ASV solutions can be tailor-made to deliver beyond SOA performance and capabilities for a wide range of vessels sizes and applications. Significant reduction in hull/water resistance combined with low complexity and low ownership risk are key factors. Leading naval architects characterize the new technology "a technological shift in ship design." A substantial product development and documentation phase is completed and the ASV technology is now ready for global commercialization.
