NatPower Marine Acquires Aqua superPower, Aims to Electrify Large Commercial Ports
The acquisition brings 80+ marine charging locations across Europe and North America under one platform.
NatPower Marine has signed a strategic agreement to acquire the Aqua superPower international charging network from ATV Power, combining two marine electrification players in a move to expand beyond recreational boating into large commercial port infrastructure.
What Happened
NatPower Marine, a NatPower Group company developing an independent global network of ship charging facilities for the maritime sector, acquired the Aqua superPower network from ATV Power. Aqua superPower currently operates electric charging points for boats and yachts at more than 80 ports and marinas in Europe and North America, including locations on the French and Italian Rivieras, Lake Geneva, UK South Coast, San Francisco Bay, Lake Tahoe, and Lake Michigan.
Why It Matters
Marine vessels are a significant source of emissions, and port electrification is increasingly viewed as critical infrastructure for decarbonizing shipping. By combining NatPower Marine's global development ambitions with Aqua superPower's established operational network, the merged entity could accelerate deployment of shore power and charging facilities at commercial maritime hubs—not just recreational marinas.
The Bottom Line
The acquisition gives NatPower Marine immediate operational presence in key markets on both sides of the Atlantic while positioning it to scale beyond its current scope. CEO Fabrizio Zago called the deal a decisive step toward building a platform capable of operating internationally, though no timeline or specific commercial port targets were disclosed.
