Smarter Maritime Propulsion. Save Fuel. Reduce Emissions.
Empower your fleet to cut fuel consumption by 5% to 8% and slash soot/particulate emissions by up to 80%. Utilising the patented UTIS **UCLE (Ultimate Cell Large Engine)** hydrogen-on-demand technology, developed to bring industrial combustion efficiency and carbon reduction to Scandinavian ship owners.
The Challenge of Nordic Shipping
As Northern Europe enforces some of the world's most aggressive maritime environmental taxes, fleet owners need immediate, cost-effective transition solutions.
Zero-Emission Fjord Targets
With Norway requiring zero emissions in heritage fjords (like Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord) by 2026, UTIS UCLE technology offers a crucial bridging solution for diesel-powered vessels to comply by drastically reducing soot and carbon deposits.
Substantial CO2 & NOx Tax Relief
Operating inside the North Sea and Baltic Sea Emission Control Areas (ECAs) exposes fleets to heavy carbon levies. By cutting primary fuel usage by 5-8%, UCLE provides direct exemptions under Norway's NOx Fund and carbon pricing mechanisms.
Built for the Harsh North
Unlike delicate battery packs or complex LNG infrastructures that lose efficiency in freezing temperatures, the UCLE system operates seamlessly across all climates. From open North Sea crossings to coastal cargo routes, its self-regulating electrolyte cell is designed to handle demanding physical environments.
Hydrogen-Assisted Combustion Catalyst
Developed in joint venture by UTIS and Ultimate Power, UCLE optimizes the combustion chemistry of your existing infrastructure. By injecting a tiny, precise amount of hydrogen as a combustion promoter, we ensure a more complete and efficient burn.
On-Demand Electrolysis
Water from an internal tank is split into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) inside a microprocessor-controlled cell.
Intake Air Mixture
The gas is drawn into the engine's main air filter assembly, mixing with ambient intake air before reaching the cylinder.
Accelerated Ignition
Hydrogen's rapid flame speed (10x faster than diesel) initiates earlier and cleaner ignition of the heavy fuel molecules.
Enhanced Combustion Output
Fuel burns faster, reducing soot, exhaust temperature (EGT), and unburnt hydrocarbons while delivering greater power stroke force.
Why UCLE is a Game Changer
Unlike traditional retrofits that restrict exhaust gas flow or require chemical additives, the UCLE system optimizes the chemical reaction inside the cylinder. This leads to cleaner engine internals, reduced lubricating oil degradation, and longer intervals between major overhauls.
Zero Onboard Hydrogen Storage
No high-pressure tanks, cryogenics, or explosive hazards. Hydrogen is generated on-demand and immediately consumed in the cylinders, making it fully approved under Class society safety rules.
Compatibility Across Heavy Fuel Grades
Equally effective whether your auxiliary generators or main engines are running on Marine Gas Oil (MGO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), or Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO).
Fast, Non-Invasive Retrofitting
Installation takes under 48 hours and can be done at port during normal turnaround times. No mechanical changes are made to the engine block or cylinder heads.

Rigorous Marine Safety Approvals
Safety is paramount in marine engineering. The UCLE device is approved under strict European Union directives, ensuring it functions safely in high-stress engine room environments.
E-Mark Approval
Officially tested by the UK Vehicle Certification Agency, proving that the electronic control systems do not compromise engine safety or interfere with onboard bridge systems.
RoHS Compliance
Tested by Bureau Veritas under the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) to guarantee that all component metals and housing structures are non-toxic, lead-free, and safe for marine deployment.
CE Safety Standard
Engraved directly onto the high-durability polymer casing, the CE mark verifies full compliance with EU health, safety, and environmental protection guidelines.
