German marine equipment-first place in innovation and reliability

摘要

The maritime suppliers of Germany are world champions in innovation, and their chief aim is to significantly improve economy and the environmental footprint in the global shipping industry. This publication is meant to bring international shipowners, shipyards, naval architects and all those interested in shipbuilding up to date on current technology and the latest developments in a number of important ship systems offered by German industry. The main topics here are lower fuel consumption, alternative fuels, a higher degree of automation, longer periods between overhauls, comprehensive onboard environmental protection and the reduction of ships' operational costs. With these things in mind, German suppliers are further optimising their product-related, flexible service networks worldwide and concluding forward-looking cooperation deals.
