Boksa Marine Design Expands Into Shoreside Electrical Engineering
Service extends firm's marine electrical expertise beyond the vessel with integrated solutions for shore power and resilient waterfront infrastructure
(Tampa, Florida; August 4, 2026) - Boksa Marine Design (BMD), a leading naval architecture and marine engineering firm, announces the addition of Shoreside Electrical Engineering services to its comprehensive portfolio. This new practice expands BMD’s core capabilities to include shoreside electrical design and power systems, directly accelerating vessel electrification, shore-power integration, and climate-resilience upgrades for U.S. maritime facilities.
BMD’s new service offers complete, end-to-end engineering solutions, from shipboard systems to high-voltage shoreside utilities, and flood-resilient electrical design. By combining deep vessel design heritage with dedicated shore-power expertise, BMD offers port operators, fleet owners, and facility managers a single, highly technical partner capable of modernizing marine operations for a sustainable future.
"As naval architects and vessel engineers, we intimately understand the power demands of modern fleets," said Jeff Kuenning, president of BMD. "By bringing that same technical rigor to shore-based power distribution, we ensure every dock and terminal upgrade is built for next-generation operations. We eliminate the guesswork by engineering both sides of the water’s edge."
BMD’s Shoreside Electrical Engineering capability is ideally suited to support:
Ferry Terminals and Operators: High-frequency, high-capacity hybrid or electric ferry operations require massive power transfers. BMD provides the critical utility load evaluations, and electrical layout designs required for fast-charging infrastructures that keep fleets on schedule.
Ports and Shipyards: Modern vessels demand significantly more shore power during construction, refit, and maintenance. BMD modernizes aging port and shipyard distribution networks to boost capacity, enhance reliability, and deliver flood- and storm-resilient electrical infrastructure built for the next generation of fleets.
Industrial and Cargo Terminals: BMD upgrades shoreside power to support heavy terminal machinery and floating assets. The firm converts legacy diesel equipment to efficient electric systems and upgrades grid capacity, delivering lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and reliable power where needed.
Docks and Marinas: Catering to both recreational and commercial marina operators, BMD manages service upgrades and integrates localized “green” technologies, such as solar arrays, to safely support electric watercraft, like boats and jet skis, without overloading existing grids.
“With this new service offering, clients can leverage the full suite of BMD’s existing naval architecture, vessel design, and production engineering services, alongside comprehensive shoreside electrical infrastructure development. This unified approach provides customers with technical transparency, clear planning, and a single, trusted partner,” said Kuenning.
For over 20 years, BMD has built a reputation for technically rigorous delivery across the recreational, commercial, and government marine sectors. Its history of collaborating with local electrical installers and system integrators also provides a natural gateway to the introduction of Shoreside Electrical Engineering. With this new service, the firm reinforces its commitment to sustainable growth and future-ready maritime infrastructure.
