Proteum has extended its distribution agreement with OXE Marine by a further five years.
Based in Hampshire, UK, Proteum will continue its OXE Marine Diesel distribution agreement within the UK and Ireland.
The agreement now includes the new territories of Norway and Iceland.
The distributor believes Norway and Iceland offer substantial marine opportunities for Proteum.
Due to their remote locations, there is a need for Search and Rescue (S.A.R.) craft, as well as support for wind farm operators and salmon fish farms.
The OXE Diesel Outboard is well-suited for these markets, benefiting from the widespread availability of diesel, which provides versatility and an extended range for operations in remote areas.
We have been with OXE from the beginning and have seen continued growth in sales year on year.

“Proteum’s relationship with OXE Marine is going from strength to strength,” said Neil Taylor, Proteum general manager. “The extension of our current UK agreement, along with our new territory, is a testament to that.
“We have been with OXE from the beginning and have seen continued growth in sales year on year. We look forward to replicating this success in the Norwegian and Icelandic markets.”
The OXE diesel outboard range includes options of 225hp, 250hp and 300hp to meet diverse customer specifications.
The entire range of OXE Marine diesel outboards distributed by Proteum is validated to operate on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) instead of standard diesel cutting vessel emissions by up to 97%.
The five year extension and expansion into Scandinavia demonstrates the strength of the Proteum and OXE Marine relationship, and will enable Proteum to further broaden its distribution efforts.
