You can balance compressor to systems capacity by selecting different pulley sizes on electric motor .
You will get some slippage of belts causing inefficiency compared to direct drive .

With a belt drive you will get some flexibility which may be required on board ship.
Boats flex.

belt drives cope better with system losses and no cooling of windings required
