This is maritime <strong>made</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Germany</strong>!<br />
While the world is jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g forces to accelerate global<br />
efforts to fight aga<strong>in</strong>st climate change, also shipp<strong>in</strong>g<br />
has embraced that there is no alternative to climate<br />
neutrality as fast as possible.<br />
And yet the German maritime <strong>in</strong>dustry is world renown<br />
for a wide range of high-end solutions, from sophisticated<br />
components and mach<strong>in</strong>ery to state-of-the-art<br />
turn-key systems and complex ships. Customers trust the<br />
long tradition of excellent eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g and turn to German<br />
makers and yards for their high-quality products. It<br />
is here, where <strong>in</strong>novation drives performance, where<br />
striv<strong>in</strong>g for noth<strong>in</strong>g less than perfection is <strong>in</strong> our genes.<br />
In the highly competitive shipp<strong>in</strong>g sector, the cheapest<br />
solution is sometimes preferred over the best solution.<br />
We believe, efficiency answers to both!<br />
In a rapidly chang<strong>in</strong>g maritime world, efficiency will<br />
be more than ever the key success factor. Energy cost will<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease as the world gradually turns away from fossil<br />
energy sources. This development will impact every<br />
corner of the economy and the full value cha<strong>in</strong>.<br />
It will establish new trades and require new bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
models. In shipp<strong>in</strong>g, not only fuel cost will rise. Input<br />
prices from raw material to processed metal, from s<strong>in</strong>gle<br />
components to complex ship-systems are bound for a significant<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease. Superior product design with optimised<br />
properties enables reliable technology at the lowest life<br />
cycle cost. This has been the stronghold of German Industry<br />
ever s<strong>in</strong>ce.<br />
This is maritime <strong>made</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Germany</strong>!<br />
