Berg Propulsion in the United States

The Authorized Berg Propulsion Distributor for the United States

Thompson Marine is the authorized Berg Propulsion distributor for the United States, providing sales, engineering, and service support for the full range of Berg systems across the United States and into Canada, Mexico, and beyond. This relationship means more than product access. It means a dedicated engineering team, the deepest Berg parts inventory in the country, and factory-trained service technicians available for rapid deployment across the Americas.

About Berg Propulsion

Berg Propulsion has been a leader in marine propulsion technology for more than a century, with engineering roots in hydrodynamics and commercial shipbuilding dating to 1912. Headquartered in Hönö, Sweden, Berg designs and manufactures propulsion systems for commercial vessel operators worldwide. Berg propulsion systems are in service across cargo vessels, tugs, offshore support vessels, fishing fleets, ferries, and government vessels operating in some of the most demanding marine environments in the world.

Engineering and Integration

Propulsion upgrades deliver the greatest return when they address a specific operational challenge or prepare a vessel for what comes next. A Berg Propulsion retrofit engineered by Thompson Marine is the right solution when:

Complete Propulsion Solutions Are Required

Thompson Marine sales and supports the complete line of Berg Propulsion products in the United States. Thompson Marine’s engineering team designs complete propulsion packages, integrating Berg systems with marine gears, power management systems, vessel monitoring, and electrical infrastructure. Every project is delivered with full shipyard-ready documentation, including wiring diagrams, installation layouts, shaftline drawings, and custom piping designs, so that the installation proceeds with precision and without ambiguity.
 

Proven Experience Is Necessary

That capability extends to the most complex propulsion configurations in commercial service. Thompson Marine has engineered and commissioned hundreds of vessels including hybrid mechanical and electrical propulsion systems, Berg Z-drives, electric motors, variable frequency drives, and custom control integration for commercial harbor tugs.

A Shared Commitment to Practical Marine Solutions

Berg Propulsion and Thompson Marine share a commitment to reliable, practical engineering that performs where it matters most, in the demanding conditions of commercial marine operations. Berg’s shipyard origins and century-long focus on hydrodynamics reflect the same values that have guided Thompson Marine for decades of marine service. That alignment is not incidental. It is why the distributor relationship works, and why Thompson Marine customers have access to a level of application engineering and long-term support that is rare in the commercial marine industry.
