Marine fast-charging network developer Aqua superPower has entered into a partnership with Hellonext, manufacturer of DC charging solutions.
The two companies will work together to support the joint expansion of marine fast-charging networks across Europe and beyond.
Hellonext has already established a presence in the marine electrification sector, with the installation of multiple operational charging installations across Spain.
Under the agreement, Hellonext’s AC and DC charging systems will be integrated into Aqua superPower’s Neptune backend platform.
Commercial opportunities
Aqua superPower will manage end-to-end operations, including remote monitoring, dynamic load balancing, billing, roaming, maintenance coordination and 24/7 customer support.
The two companies will actively collaborate on commercial opportunities, sharing leads and jointly delivering integrated hardware and software solutions.
Aqua superPower will serve as the default charge point management system (CPMS) for Hellonext’s marine deployments.
Aqua superPower will deliver a suite of services, including CPMS, connectivity, SIM management, platform monitoring and end-user emobility service provider functionality.
Significant milestone
“This partnership marks a significant milestone in our strategy to become the go-to CPMS and EMSP partner across the marine and wider electromobility sectors,” said Karen Gill, COO of Aqua superPower.
“By selecting Hellonext as a strategic supplier, we are aligning with a proven technology leader in DC charging and marine infrastructure.
“Together, we bring a compelling combination of proven hardware and a scalable digital platform, accelerating the deployment of marine charging infrastructure worldwide while expanding the Aqua network for our users and unlocking greater utilisation and revenue for ports and marinas.”
Key marine hubs
Initial deployments under the partnership will build on Hellonext’s existing footprint in Spain, including key marine hubs such as Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, with further international expansion planned throughout the year.
Manuel Sande e Castro, global sales director, added: “With established marine installations already operating in Spain, we have demonstrated the reliability of our technology in real-world environments.
“Partnering with Aqua superPower allows us to enhance our offering with a best-in-class CPMS and EMSP platform, creating a complete, turnkey solution for customers and accelerating the adoption of electric marine mobility.”
