About Us

Redefining Clean Energy at Sea

Marine traffic has always been at the heart of global trade and exploration, but its environmental footprint has long been a challenge. At HELINOR Energy, we’re shaping the next chapter in maritime history—not just by reducing emissions, but by striving to eliminate them entirely.

From Vestland, Norway's westernmost point, we draw inspiration from the rugged coastline and the resilient cultural spirit. Here, we develop and produce advanced maritime hydrogen fuel cells and fire suppression modules tailored to meet the industry’s toughest demands.

Our mission is clear: to drive innovation in the maritime sector by offering scalable solutions that empower vessel-owners to operate profitably, efficiently and safely.
