More
than 95 percent of long-distance transport of
goods in world trade are handled by shipping
according to information provided by industrial
and trade federations. The increasing demand in
transport capacity on the high seas shapes the
entire sector. Shipping companies and shipyards
develop and implement increasingly more
efficient, more environmentally-friendly and
safe concepts to fulfil these demands.
As a direct result, the electric drives and the
supplies of these components are becoming
increasingly more significant, as the
interaction of the developed measures in the
shipping industry is one of the main tasks of
the ancillary partner industries as a lifecycle
partner of the shipping company. Clean engines,
optimised ventilation systems, more efficient
power supply, and intelligent course planning
are just some examples from companies active as
ancillary industries in shipbuilding and
offshore industries on the German market. In
these areas both reliable and high-performance
electro-technical components, controls and
monitoring are required. Our switchgear and
automation components have fulfilled these
maritime requirements for decades.
The
electro-technical equipment of today's ships is
characterised by the high power density. Whether
it is a container ship with a power supply for
cooling refeer containers, or on a passenger
cruise liner offering the highest levels of
comfort and exclusivity, compliance to
standards, directives and approvals is essential
to guarantee the safety of ships, persons and
cargo. The entire system is just as reliable as
each individual component. We provide
shipbuilders flexible and certified solutions
for energy supply and power distribution as well
as for control of the ocean going vessels.
Our
product range includes switchgear such as
circuit-breakers and contactors, as well as
automation solutions with a PLC and
visualisation. Furthermore, we offer solutions
for safe operation of the system with the
arc-fault protection system.
Our products comply with all standards and
guidelines for maritime applications because of
our close co-operation with the classification
societies. Our international presence allows us
to serve the manufacturing facilities as well as
the after-sales services for shipowners wherever
we are needed. |
