This is the outcome of a strong focus on exceeding customer requirements through excellence in innovation, delivered via deep collaboration with our skilled and knowledgeable colleagues.
In 2025, Zinus established new sales and service offices in Italy and in Seattle, USA – to capitalise on growing demand and to enhance our delivery capabilities to key customers (including ‘made in the USA’ qualifying products).
Whilst CARB, AFIR and FuelEU continue to provide a good regulatory tailwind to our market, the current energy market volatility serves to further highlight the benefits of electrification of shore-power; in gains that traverse energy security and economics.
“There is strong interest from several international investor environments that wish to take ownership in Zinus, and this is a good sign that we are being noticed widely beyond national borders,” says Endre Eidsvik, CEO of Zinus.
As previously announced, the Singapore-based company Eastern Pacific Shipping Ventures (EPS Ventures) and the Norwegian state-owned investment company Nysnø Climate Investments joined Zinus as shareholders at the turn of 2024/2025.
Today, we are proud to announce that US-headquartered Hartree Partners (backed by Oaktree, and in-turn, Brookfield), has acquired a significant minority stake in Zinus.
George Potts, Head of Hartree Partners’ technology investment business, comments: “we are delighted to leverage our trading expertise and unique capabilities across global shipping markets and energy infrastructure to further the deployment of Zinus’ world-class shore-power technology suite; an important vanguard in achieving low-cost, secure & reliable electrification across the maritime industry.”
Zinus thus now has six strong institutional shareholders, which will contribute positively to accelerating investment in the company’s innovation, global service capabilities and integrated technology stack.
