GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies supplies sustainable marine solutions for the fishing industry, cruise industry, on board refrigerated cargo ships (reefers) or juice carriers, as well as GEA Grasso BOG and LD (boil-off gas and low duty) screw compressors for LNG-fueled vessels, also suitable for gaseous ammonia fuel or other applications e.g. CO₂ capture.
Applications
GEA compressors and packages have already fulfilled high maritime demands for many years. With a broad product range of screw compressors, we have the right equipment for nearly all refrigeration, ammonia, CO₂ and LNG applications.
We engineer and supply energy efficient and sustainable solutions for ships where refrigeration is an essential part of the operation.
Our solutions and products focus on ease of use and low maintenance during the complete life cycle, with a low total cost of ownership (TCO).
As no ship type is the same, and space for equipment is often challenging, GEA can provide customized solutions if our standard solutions don't meet the customer's special requirement.

GEA is active in the following marine segments:
- Fishing Vessels (trawlers, crab catchers, tuna seiners)
- Reefer Ships
- Cruise & Ferry
- Orange juice carriers
- Conversion and retrofit projects

GEA Insights

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
