About Ship Efficiency

In an industry characterised by increasingly keen global competition, the key to survival is designing, building and operating ships efficiently.

That is why The German Society for Maritime Technology, STG has launched this conference to look for answers to questions concerning improvments of the efficiency of shipping operations and thereby increasing a ship's profitability, considering environmental as well as legislative aspects. This conference is held every two years, preferably at the end of September in Hamburg, alternating with the world's largest shipping exhibition SMM. The conference programme will always focus on ship efficiency from an interdisciplinary perspective in the following fields:

• Future fuels
• Efficient power
• Ship design
• Ship operation

Since the conference takes a holistic approach to the entire ship system, it will be of interest to a wide range of experts from the entire maritime community:

• Ship owners/operators
• Ship builders/yards
• Equipment-suppliers
• Model basins
• Classification societies
• Consultants
• Financial analysts
• Academics
• Investors

Please observe the date for the next Ship Efficiency Conference in Hamburg: September 28 - 29 2009
