BSI Marine Equipment Group has acquired Danish control systems company Lyngaa Marine.
Per Christiansen, who acquired Lyngaa Marine in 2008, will remain as general manager.
Lyngaa Marine is a maritime technology company that creates alarms and control systems for superyachts, commercial marine, fishing boats and large ship sectors.
The alarm and controls range from override systems for a small fishing vessel to more complex control systems for workboats, ferries, superyachts and large supply ships.
“The Group has worked closely with Lyngaa Marine for several years using their excellent controls in both Hundested and Ocean Marine Systems (OMS) propulsion and thruster deliveries,” said Mark Barwell, chief commercial officer for the BSI Marine Equipment Group.
I look forward to continuing the business in the same spirit as we always have done.

“Their technical knowledge and experience are second to none, and I am excited to see them join the BSI Marine Equipment Group.”
Per, who was a former ship engineer and naval officer, and has expanded Lyngaa Marine and the products available since he acquired the company, added: “Today Lyngaa Marine can deliver all types of automation for a ship’s engine room and propulsion.
“I look forward to continuing the business in the same spirit as we always have done, and I am pleased to have gained new colleagues and new inspiration in the form of the BSI Marine Equipment Group.”
Lyngaa Marine is based in Birkerød, near Copenhagen.
The company joins a number of other brands within the BSI Marine Equipment Group: BSI, Gori Propeller, Hundested Propeller, Jefa Steering, Lyngaa Marine, Moonlight, OYS and Ocean Marine Systems, and are based across multiple sites in Denmark, the UK, the USA and France.
Lyngaa Marine was founded in 2008.
