Inland navigation is an eco-friendly mode transportation amidst the vast sea of pollution caused by conventional methods like air and road transport. We shine a spotlight on our offerings tailored specifically for inland navigation, ranging from alternators and starters to innovative Hotstart systems, each designed to enhance efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

Alternators play an important role in the smooth operation of vessels during inland navigation. Our range of alternators is designed to meet the demanding needs of marine transportation. BermanTec’s Marine alternator supply program consists of a wide range of powerful alternators from 150A to 600A. Our catalogue consists of more than 50 international brands, amongst them popular brands for marine applications like Prestolite and Delstar.

As official distributors of Prestolite in the Europe, the following models are a common choice for inland vessels. Prestolite 8SC3160V (24V / 150A), with insulated return and internal regulator is a reliable powerhouse, capable of sustaining consistent performance even under rigorous conditions. We sell a repair kit K183103997S for maintenance and upkeep. The Prestolite 8SC3157V (24V / 175A) J-180 model is engineered for efficiency. We also supply individual parts for replacement. Prestolite 66021638A (24V / 55A) is one of our most compact models, providing a steady supply of power, ideal for smaller vessels.

Additionally, our DelStar alternators boast brushless and insulated designs, ensuring durability and safety in operation. Some popular models are the 100-17202 (24V / 200A) and 100-17204 (24V / 240A), known for their reliability and performance excellence. They are compatible with Mastervolt and meet marine requirements for ignition protections on gas or diesel engines. The Wakespeed regulator also works with Delstar products to monitor alternator and battery temperatures and modify charging output for optimal performance.

Efficient starters are essential for the seamless ignition of marine engines, especially in the demanding environment of inland navigation. We offer both original and replacement models for marine starters, to ensure we can service the broadest range of engine brands and vessels.

DS-12 24V 50MT Starter (replacement) combines affordability with performance, ensuring smooth engine ignition, whether as an imitation or under the original Delco Remy number 10479339. Prestolite Starter M128R3838SE (24V, 12kW) is part of the M128 series, which is a replacement for the MS7 series, and is often used on Cummins and Caterpillar applications.

For MTU engines we recommend the S152 series, such as the following model, engineered for efficiency and durability: Prestolite Starter 1391012A 24V, 15kW.

We are happy to announce that we have recently launched a new platform: Sescoindustry, specialising in heating solutions for marine and other heavy duty industries as one of the company’s core focuses. Here we offer the option for tailor-made engine heating solutions, as well as different fluid heaters, space & battery heaters and emergency shut off valves systems.

Check out Hotstart tank heater systems that offer a plethora of benefits, including facilitating cleaner engine starts, reducing engine wear, and eliminating warm-up times, allowing vessels to depart promptly after ignition. Our offerings cater to various engine sizes, ensuring optimal performance across different marine applications.

On Sescoindustry you can find tank heaters for all sizes of engines. For larger engines, the Tank Heater LWV9000 provides efficient preheating, optimizing engine performance while minimizing environmental impact. For medium-sized engines, we recommend the KWV-3000 (240V, 50/60Hz, 3000W) model, with adjustable thermostat, offers reliable preheating capabilities, ensuring smooth engine starts even in colder conditions. For smaller engines (5.7-8.2L), the Hotstart TPS152GT8 (240V, 1500W) provides an efficient and compact solution to enhance engine performance and reduce environmental impact.

With over 40 years experience in this industry, BermanTec offers a wide range of products designed to enhance efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and ensure smooth operations in the challenging environment of marine transportation.
