Erlangen, Germany, 2010-Jul-30

Rising costs, greater competitive pressure and ever stricter environmental regulations are driving new developments in shipping and shipbuilding that are designed to protect the environment and increase energy efficiency. Profitable trading and environmental compatibility are not mutually exclusive, but a competitive factor. Siemens Marine Solutions will be showcasing solutions for shipyards and ship operators at the SMM 2010 Trade Fair, under the motto "Navigate to new horizons - Get on course with green returns", that will sustainably increase the environmental compatibility and commercial efficiency of overall shipping operations. Siemens is presenting EcoMain, the first technical and economical operational management system that helps ship operators and shipping companies to optimize their use of energy and resources in a wide range of on-board processes.
