Bosch Rexroth designs, produces and delivers different types of offshore heave compensation systems (naval

replenishment systems, cranes, winches, etc.). Bosch Rexroth, plant Boxtel, the Netherlands, is a company

which is from origin specialised in hydraulically driven systems. Most of its offshore systems are driven by

hydraulic equipment. During the past decades however, the systems are more and more equipped with electric

drives instead of hydraulic drives. This is both caused by new developments in electrical engineering as well

as by customer demand. Both types of drives have their specific advantages and disadvantages. In this lecture

an overview is given of the reason's to choose for a specific drive.

Special attention will be given to a system where the application of electric motors has caused engineering

challenges; naval replenishment systems.
