Swedish Sea Rescue Society in Höganäs
The station in Höganäs uses an OXE200 in their daily operations
"We can’t help others if we are not safe ourselves. We have families who want us to come back home from our missions, which is why we need to be able to trust in our equipment, engines and gear. The goal is for us to come back in one piece".
"We particularly like the OXE200 as it is a powerful diesel engine. Since our big boat also runs on diesel, fuel management is very easy. We also think that diesel engines are favorable because they are safer and more reliable, given the environment we work in."
Power and reliability
The Swedish Sea Rescue Society in Höganäs is one of around 70 stations located in Sweden, manning boats of different sizes. Altogether, the stations have more than 2000 volunteers to keep the organization running.
The missions the station assist in are very varied and can concern anything from cases of illness, injuries on marine transports, to boats gone aground in the rocky strait.
Together with 15 other volunteers, manning three boats around the clock, all year round, and set out to assist those in need of the Sea Rescue’s help in the northern parts of Öresund. Among their fleet is a Rescue Runner and a 6-meter Rib boat, powered by an OXE200.
An important aspect, especially regarding missions where time is of the essence, is that the equipment used by the SSRS is reliable. Stellan means that it is primarily about the safety of the volunteers.
Minding the power and the reliability of an OXE200, the SSRS quickly depart and return home from their missions, safe and sound.
OXE300
The OXE300 is a high-performance diesel outboard engine designed to meet the toughest demands of commercial and recreational boaters. With 300 horsepower and 945Nm of torque at the propeller shaft, this engine offers exceptional power and speed, while reducing your overall fuel consumption and operating costs.
testimonials
Simon Hill Western Mariner
"In use, the Oxe diesel outboards distinguish themselves by being mostly indistinguishable from the well-proven and well-loved gas-powered outboards most mariners are familiar with. Because they have a fairly deep exhaust note, at idle the Oxe outboards can actually seem somewhat quieter than a gas outboard. At higher revs and wider throttle settings, they have a distinctive muffled growl that’s been compared to the Dark Knight-era Batmobile".

"It's not often one sees an outboard go viral, but when it does, it's an OXE."

"Apart from the high torque of ΟΧΕ 300 at low rpm which is strongly felt after 2500 rpm, what impressed us the most was its extremely low noise levels that it really makes it ideal for long working hours without tiring its operator."

"The EU is determined to deliver on its commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and we are working with Member States on their plans to become carbon-neutral by 2050. OXE Marine's outboard engine project drastically reduces emissions, while enabling the coast guard and rescue police who use the heavy-duty engines to continue carrying out their work at sea."

"OXE’s were the obvious workhorses for our operations. With 45% less fuel consumption comparative to gasoline outboards, high engine torque and thrust, remote availability of diesel fuels, engine cabin heater options and higher operation cruise speeds makes OXE a great fit."

"It is well known in the boating industry that the popularity of outboard motors continues to trend upward. I/Os are dead in the water. Inboards now seem relegated to midsize and larger motoryachts. Twin outboards are so passé. Triples and quads are de rigueur. Besides adding another motor to the highly reinforced transom of, say, a 40‘ (12.2m) centre-console fishing machine, are there any other options? Well, yes, sort of. There is an emerging market for diesel outboard engines (outboard motors was always a poor choice of words)".

"Although the diesel engines [OXE Diesel] are more expensive than the petrol engine when purchased, this is covered after approx. 650 hours of operation due to lower consumption and lower fuel prices"
