Welcome Message

Advance Press Conference SMM 2016: Bernd Aufderheide,

President and CEO Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would also like to welcome you to this Advance Press Conference for

SMM 2016. Thank you for taking the trouble to come to Hamburg – I know

that some of you have come here from very distant parts of the world.

Just three months to go until Hamburg is once again the global capital of

the maritime industry. The leading players in this sector will be meeting in

our exhibition halls from 6 to 9 September. SMM is unique – as a source of

ideas and stimulus for the maritime industry, and as a platform for

exchange, inspiration and (another important aspect) for closing business

deals. We are very pleased to have the patronage of Chancellor Angela

Merkel again this year.

It is already evident that SMM will once again underscore impressively its

position as the world’s leading maritime industry fair. More than 2,100

exhibitors from over 60 countries have registered, and 50,000 trade

visitors from all parts of the world are expected. That means the fair is

already fully booked months in advance, as it was in record year 2014.

And another piece of good news is that this year’s SMM will be more

international than ever before; only about one third of exhibitors come from

Germany, and two-thirds from abroad – a new record. We are especially

pleased that this year for the first time we can welcome Iran, Malaysia and

Greece, each with their own national pavilion. And Singapore is also back

with us again this year.

As you know, shipping is currently facing stormy conditions. Shipping

companies, shipyards, equipment suppliers and port operators currently

have to deal with enormous changes. Their financial base is under attack

from low freight and charter rates, increased cost pressure, and dramatic

changes in flows of goods. At the same time, requirements for safety and

environmental protection are increasing – and market expectations for

performance.

But those in positions of responsibility in the industry know that it is no use

simply to moan and groan. The industry has to look to the future. It needs

innovative solutions for changing business models. SMM can and will

provide major stimuli and answers to pressing questions from the industry.

The high level of exhibitor interest shows once again that we have our

finger on the pulse with this year’s focal areas Digitisation and Green

Propulsion, giving answers to the urgent questions in the maritime

industry. SMM once more underlines its technological leadership with the

subjects it covers.

Digitisation is a key theme for the whole of the SMM. Exhibitors in all the

halls present their developments in digitisation and big data. The Maritime

Future Summit will be held on 5 September, the day before the opening of

SMM, with software experts and managers of leading manufacturers of

propulsion systems discussing the impact of Smart Shipping and Big Data

on tomorrow’s shipping. We are hosting this event in cooperation with our

partner HANSA – International Maritime Journal.

Another key subject at SMM is Green Propulsion. We have specially

designed the layout of Hall A5 for this topic this year, and provided 3,500

square metres of additional space. This is dedicated exclusively to

innovative propulsion technologies. The hall is already fully booked. That

also shows how closely SMM is tracking the needs of the maritime

industries.

The same applies to our conference programme, with leading industry

experts. Alongside the Maritime Future Summit, this year we again have

gmec – global maritime environmental congress, to be hosted by us in

cooperation with Seatrade on 6 September. This is all about tougher

regulatory requirements, and how to achieve compliance by means of

alternative propulsion systems, digital transport control, more sophisticated

measurement electronics, and other solutions.

One day later, the focus will be on security and defence, with MS&D –

international conference on maritime security and defence. Once again,

we are pleased to welcome high-ranking delegations from industry and

from navies from all parts of the world. The experts there will be discussing

the requirements for modern security forces, and the defence scenarios of

tomorrow. The event will be supported by our cooperation partner NAVAL

FORCES, The International Forum For Maritime Power.

The Offshore Dialogue on 8 September features leading speakers from

the international maritime industry, the scientific community, universities

and government organisations. The event is supported by the Federal

Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Our cooperation

partners for this conference are Ship&Offshore and the offshore support

journal. The programme includes subjects such as the relevance of the

human factor, with a focus on health, safety and the environment.

The Maritime Career Market – a stand-alone event without conference

character – covers a new aspect of the industry and brings together skilled

workers and potential employers in the maritime industries. Promotion of

young talents and increased employment of women in the industries will

also be important here.

All in all, trade visitors at SMM 2016 will find some 150 programme items,

including a large number of workshops, symposia and presentations. This

range of events is unmatched in the maritime world.

Another strength of SMM has always been the enormous bandwidth

covered by its exhibitors. The complete value chain is reflected here, from

impressive large-scale exhibits to smart software solutions. This year

again, all the global key players will be there, and also young innovative

start-ups which aim to shake up the market. This helps visitors to grasp

the enormous range of products and services, and countless ideas which

really move the industry forward.

The innovations of the exhibitors are traditionally very much a focus of

SMM. But this industry fair is also constantly reinventing itself. An example

of this is the “exhibition routes”, a method we are using to help visitors find

their way around the exhibition halls. In keeping with the conferences and

focal areas at SMM 2016, there will be a Job Route, a Digital Route, a

Green Route and a Security Route. From August 2016 these guidance

systems will be provided in the Product Directory online and in the SMM

App. That helps visitors to find the way to their specific subjects more

easily.

Some 3 months before the start of the leading maritime trade fair, you can

already see what has been achieved by the SMM Team headed by Claus

Ulrich Selbach. There is no doubt about it – this SMM will be really special!

Our thanks go in particular to our concept supporters VDMA, VDR, VSM,

Verband Deutscher Schiffsausrüster e.V. and VSIH. I would like

explicitly to thank the Trade Fair Advisory Committee and all the

Conference Advisory Committees for the excellent cooperation. And let

me also thank our principal sponsor DNVGL, and all the other sponsors

who have made this event possible. I have pleasure in inviting everyone

here to attend the Main Press Conference at the Atlantic Hotel on 5

September 2016.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the world’s greatest maritime industry event is

coming up. We look forward to face-to-face meetings, in-depth exchanges

and trail-blazing ideas. And we are confident that SMM will once again

send out positive signals for the future of the industry. Thank you for your

attention.

SMM 2016 Advance Press Conference

Exclusive Insights from Renowned International Experts

Hamburg, 02 June 2016 – The Countdown is on: From 06 to 09 September

2016, SMM, the leading international maritime trade fair, will take place

at the Hamburg fair complex. The event is drawing huge interest: More than

2,100 exhibitors have registered, and over 50,000 industry visitors from

roughly 100 nations are expected to attend. Similar to the record year 2014,

the fair is fully booked months in advance. With the new Hall A5 for “Green

Propulsion” and the focus on digitalisation, this year's SMM will be a beacon

event for the industry.

The SMM advance press conference in Hamburg on 2 June 2016 gave a

foretaste of this major international fair for the maritime industry. Numerous

industry journalists from around the world were present as several highly

distinguished speakers gave some fascinating insights into current industry

trends and revealed some details on this year's fair programme. "We can

definitely see today that once again SMM will demonstrate in impressive

ways what it means to be the leading international maritime trade fair,” said

Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg Messe und

Congress, in his welcoming address. “SMM lends fresh impetus to the

industry and delivers clear answers to address its current challenges and

developments,” Aufderheide continued.

Digitalisation is the leitmotiv

The theme for this trade fair is Digitalisation. It is the central thread running

through all days of the fair. “Green Propulsion” will be another focal topic.

The new Hall A5 has been set up to provide 3,500 square metres of

additional exhibition area exclusively for highlighting innovative ship

propulsion technologies.

In his keynote address, Martin Stopford, Non-Executive President of

Clarksons Research Services, reviewed market developments and trends

in the maritime industry. Shipping companies face low freight and charter

rates, increased cost pressures and tightening environmental restrictions. In

2016 the shipyards have experienced the lowest newbuilding orders since

the 1980s, he pointed out. Despite a 20 percent capacity reduction and

closure of over 500 shipyards, ordering levels for new ships are well below

world capacity, so shipyards and equipment manufacturers face a

challenging year. According to Stopford, one strategy to cope with these

difficulties is Smart Shipping. The rapidly evolving information and

communications technology (ICT) has enormous potential to improve fleet

operations and transport productivity. It will play a crucial part in the survival

strategy for shipping, said Stopford.

On the other hand, sophisticated on-board computer technology also raises

the risk of cyber disruption, data theft and industrial espionage. Lars

Robert Pedersen, Deputy Secretary General of BIMCO, explained during

the advance press conference what risks shipowners should expect and

how they should defend themselves effectively against cyber-attacks. At the

beginning of the year the Baltic and International Maritime Council

(BIMCO), joining hands with other international shipping associations such

as the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), published its first cyber

security guidelines. "These provide guidance in selecting and applying the

necessary procedural and technical means and methods to guard against

cyber-attacks and limit the potential damage, should the defences be

breached" said Pedersen.

With its global standards for safety, security, environment protection and

efficiency, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has, for decades,

been providing the regulatory framework that has enabled shipping to

operate internationally. In his keynote, IMO spokesperson Lee Adamson

referred to the necessity of international regulations that apply equally to all

ships, and which do not permit advantage to be gained either by cutting

corners or by imposing unilateral requirements.

Michel van Roozendaal, President of MacGregor, a subsidiary of the

Finnish supplier Cargotec, offered quite a different perspective. The Mac-

Gregor range of products comprises hatch covers, cranes, equipment for

RoRo ships and ports, systems for securing cargo, bulk cargo handling

equipment for ships and terminals as well as offshore and maritime logistics

solutions. Van Roozendaal gave an assessment of the current situation of

the shipping industry from the perspective of an internationally-operating

company. Whilst pointing out the need for being competitive and agile in an

increasingly competitive and very much globalized marketplace, he ex-

pressly praised the German industry for its vigorous innovation and custom-

tailored solutions. By putting the focus on digitalisation, he said, SMM un-

derscores its technology leadership once again.

A perfect appetizer for the fair

"The presence of such a distinguished panel of experts today highlights the

particular importance of SMM for the industry," said Hamburg Messe CEO

Aufderheide. "This fair generates ideas and fresh impetus for the maritime

industry, and it is a perfect platform for networking, inspiring each other and

negotiating down-to-earth business deals. It sends a positive, encouraging

signal to the maritime community," he added. “It has been made clear today

that the shipping industry must aim high today to be successful tomorrow.

This industry has always had its strongest moments when everybody joined

forces and embraced innovation. This spirit will be clearly felt at SMM

2016,” Aufderheide emphasised.

Innovative conferences

SMM 2016 will open its doors in just three months: As in previous years, the

innovation fair will be accompanied by an attractive supporting

programme. Digitalisation will be the underlying theme of all the special

events. On 5 September, one day ahead of the opening of SMM, the newly-

created conference Maritime Future Summit will see software experts and

CEOs of leading manufacturers of ship propulsion systems discussing the

consequences of Smart Shipping and Big Data for the shipping industry

ofthe future. At gmec – global maritime environmental congress on 6

September the focus will be on Green Shipping and efficiency. MS&D, the

international conference on maritime security and defence on 7 September,

will revolve around maritime defence and security. In the Offshore Dialogue

on 8 September, reputable subject matter experts will discuss the role of the

human factor for the protection of safety, health and the environment. On 9

September the Maritime Career Market will top off the programme as a

standalone event, offering an ideal job exchange platform and a showcase

of maritime education and training options. The new conference booklet is

available: www.smm-hamburg.com/conference-brochure.

New digital theme routes

This year the fair organizers are offering a special service to SMM visitors:

To help visitors find what they are looking for, several theme-based routes

covering specific vendors all over the fair have been designed. Called "Job

Route", "Digital Route", "Green Route", and "Security Route", this

orientation system can be found in the online product catalogue as well as

the SMM app from August 2016. For further Information please visit:

Shipping 4.0

Autonomous ships, smart on-board systems: At the Maritime Future

Summit on 5 September, industry leaders will discuss the future of

shipping. For the first time SMM hosts a conference dedicated to

digital shipping.

Hamburg, 24 May 2016 — Cyber Ships: What may sound like a word from

a science fiction novel to some is a hot topic in the maritime business world

today. Low-crew and no-crew concepts are buzzwords in the shipping

sector, and some initial trials with unmanned ships are already being

undertaken. “Visionary ideas drive the evolution of humanity, and the

maritime industry is no exception. With its Maritime Future Summit, SMM

provides a platform for the industry’s movers and shakers to think the

unthinkable,” says Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg

Messe und Congress GmbH. The Maritime Future Summit will celebrate its

debut on 5 September, one day ahead of the SMM opening day. Under the

chairmanship of Professor Volker Bertram of World Maritime University,

two highly distinguished expert panels will discuss the topics “Building

Ships for The Future” and “Digitalization and Automation”. In his keynote

address, Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL Maritime, will share some

thoughts on current mega trends which pave the way for the future. “In

economically challenging times such as these, innovative technologies play

an essential role in strengthening our industry,” says Ørbeck-Nilssen. At the

Maritime Future Summit, software experts and executives from leading

manufacturers of propulsion technology will exchange views on major

industry trends. The conference will be co-hosted by the well-known

shipping magazine “HANSA” which will also be the media partner for the

event. To take advantage of the early reservation discount, order your tickets

for the Maritime Future Summit now at www.smm-hamburg.com/programm

and pay only EUR 350.00.

Shipbuilding: What the ships of the future will look like

Achieving the greatest possible efficiency is a key objective for designers of

tomorrow’s ships. Paolo Tonon, CEO of Maersk Maritime Technology

(MMT), will explain the “Maersk Vision”. MMT might be called the

“Workshop for the Future” of the world’s biggest containership-owning

company. More than 140 engineers are working on improving the fleet in

service and developing innovative solutions for tomorrow’s ships.

Dennis Morais, Chief Engineer at SSI, will demonstrate how the design

and building of ships can be optimized using computer technology. The

Canadian company SSI is well known for its software application

ShipConstructor. Mr. Morais’ presentation at the Maritime Future Summit is

titled “Vision 2030”, reflecting the commitment of SSI to inspiring the time-

honoured maritime sector with the dynamic impetus of the innovation-driven

computer industry. High-technology will also be the focus of the lecture

presented by Mary Etienne, Business Development Director at the

computer company Dell. The expert will explore what future-proof

technologies such as the Internet of Things can do for the maritime

industry.

Digitalization and automation drive innovation Experts agree: Smart Shipping and Big Data are the most important

building blocks for tomorrow's shipping world. From ship design to routing

and trim, through to maintenance and management, the future success of

shipping companies will depend on a perfect network infrastructure

connecting their fleets with their land-based operations.

Matthias Schulze, Chief executive of the maritime business unit of the

technology giant Siemens, will explain how advanced propulsion

technology can boost the efficiency of ships sustainably, and what systems

are most likely to be successful in the future. Willie Wagen, Director -

Market Innovation at the Finnish ship engine manufacturer Wärtsilä,

believes the industry has reached a historic turning point. He will describe

his company's conceptual strategy for supporting the shipping sector’s

transition into a new era.

In his closing address, Carsten Wiebers, Global Head of Maritime

Industries at KfW IPEX Bank, will investigate to what extent new

technologies are fit for practice. “Where would I place my bets?” – Hearing

a banker's answer to this question should be especially intriguing since

ultimately, visions need financing to become realities.

The topic of digitalization will be the leitmotif of this year's SMM where

leading classification societies and software vendors will present solutions

custom-tailored to optimize ship operation. Increasing efficiency and

improving the environmental footpring of shipping will be the themes for the

exhibits in Hall A5, which will be entirely dedicated to innovative Green

Propulsion technologies.

Green power ahead

Increasing efficiency, saving resources – this year’s gmec, global

maritime environmental congress, puts the focus on alternative

propulsion systems, digital transport control and refined

measurement electronics. gmec, the environmental conference at

SMM, brings together leading experts on 6 September to discuss how

to improve efficiency in shipping while cutting emissions.

Hamburg 11 May 2016 – The pressure on the industry is tremendous. On

the one hand, the tough situation in the market forces shipping companies

to keep the prices for their services at competitive levels, which mainly

means they have to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. On

the other hand, ever stricter international standards require investments in

environmental technologies. And customers also expect the companies to

demonstrate sustainable management – that is why Green Propulsion is a

major focus at SMM, the leading international maritime trade fair, to be held

in Hamburg from 6 to 9 September 2016.

The importance of this subject is also evident from the presence of leading

international experts who have accepted the invitation to speak at the

global maritime environmental congress (gmec). On 6 September 2016

they will address three key issues – Harmful Air Emissions, Big Data, and

Alternative Energy. Speakers include Arsenio A. Dominguez from IMO,

Dr Martin Stopford from Clarksons Research, Tom Boardley from Lloyd’s

Register, and Oskar Levander from Rolls Royce Marine. Tickets for gmec

are now available at an early-bird discount for EUR 350 at hwww.smm-

hamburg.com/en/programme/.

Must cut emissions

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the global driver in

maritime environmental protection. The IMO Marine Environment Protection

Committee (MEPC) is right up front in this effort, so we are very pleased to

welcome its Chairman Arsenio A. Dominguez as a keynote speaker at

gmec.

The way to significant reductions in emissions to the atmosphere will be

addressed by David Dingle, CEO of Carnival UK, drawing on practical

experience – his company has allocated more than 400 million dollars to

equip more than 70 cruise ships with emission control systems and flue gas

cleaning equipment that combines scrubbers for sulphur cleaning with

diesel particulate filters.

The classification companies are a key partner for shipping companies in

technical implementation of environment protection measures. Their

experts know what really works. Tom Boardley, Executive Vice President

of Lloyd’s Register, will explain at gmec where he sees opportunities for

further technical improvements to achieve sustainable emission reductions.

The future belongs to Smart Shipping

Martin Stopford sees “Big Data” as the key topic for the future of the

industry. As longstanding head of Clarksons Research, a maritime research

and consulting company, he believes that shipping is moving into a process

of fundamental change. Smart Shipping calls for investments in tools such

as sensor-controlled information, satellite communication, data storage,

user-friendly apps, IT systems and automation – keeping up with the

technology will be essential in the market.

Inmarsat Maritime has the necessary equipment in its portfolio – key

innovations will be presented by its President Ronald Spithout.

Propulsion solutions will be presented by Oskar Levander, Vice-President

of engine manufacturer Rolls Royce Marine.

Alternative propulsion systems – is LNG the answer?

China recently announced its intention to create emission control areas

around its coasts. Limits for sulphur emissions are to be applied from 2018

onwards, on the same basis as the existing SECAs (Sulphur Emission

Control Areas) in the North Sea and the Baltic and off the North American

coasts. Background: seven of the world’s top ten container terminals are

located in China. Dual-fuel engines will be essential, but the industry has

long been working on alternatives to conventional fuel. The clear favourite

is liquefied natural gas (LNG). Classification company DNV GL is one of the

front runners in development of this technology. Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen,

CEO Maritime of DNV GL, knows the technical challenges and describes

how to accelerate build-up of the necessary infrastructure.

About gmec

SMM – Women moving up in the maritime industries Women have played only a minor role in shipping, shipbuilding and related

areas up to the present. But the decision makers in the industries are

beginning to recognise their potential in view of the current shortage of

skilled people. Women are a major focus at the Maritime Career Market held

at SMM. A highlight is presentation of the “Personality of the Year 2016”

award by the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association

(WISTA).

Hamburg, 29 February 2016 – More women means more profit, as shown in a

study by the Peterson Institute in Washington published in February 2016. The

more women a company employs in middle and senior management, the better its

earnings. The rule of thumb is that an increase in female executives from zero to

30% boosts profitability by 15%. The study is based on responses by nearly

22,000 companies in 91 countries.

The Maritime Career Market at SMM, the world’s leading maritime industries expo,

in Hamburg on 9 September 2016, puts the spotlight on career opportunities for

women. Shipbuilding companies, equipment suppliers and port companies are

feeling the demographic change and desperately seeking skilled workers,

executives and young talents – and that is precisely where women come in. The

Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) has recognised the

importance of this subject and set a clear signal – the recently adopted National

Ports Concept explicitly recognises as an ongoing task the need to “increase the

percentage of women employed at ports.”

The Maritime Career Market is intended to help women in their vocational

development – it is a very good sign that this subject is being addressed at an

industry fair which is more aimed at technical matters,” says Dagmar Klenk,

President of WISTA Germany. The organisation has been engaged for more than

40 years in women’s international networking in the maritime industries. If it goes

well, she adds, the Maritime Career Market could become a fantastic cooperation

opportunity for the women and companies concerned.

WISTA Award in a prestigious setting

WISTA has played a part at SMM for many years, holding an evening reception for

its international members attending SMM as exhibitors or trade visitors. A special

highlight is planned again this year – WISTA Germany will present the “Personality

of the Year 2016” award at SMM. “Our aim with this award is to highlight female

personalities who have an exemplary function in career and commitment in the

maritime industries,” says Dagmar Klenk, President of WISTA Germany, who

works in the management of a Hamburg shipping company. “We made a

deliberate choice to present this award at the leading global fair SMM to increase

awareness of our network in this prestigious setting.” (Please find here the full

interview.)

Attractive prospects for female applicants

Promotion of young talents is another key factor in the Maritime Career Market –

on 9 September 2016, school and university students have a unique opportunity to

get first-hand information about training and career paths in the maritime

industries. The event specifically addresses girls with an interest in the industries –

“Women can get an impression of the career opportunities in the maritime

industries here at the world’s leading maritime industries fair,” says Carin

Steinbach, Deputy Project Director for SMM. Carin Steinbach is closely involved

with maritime subjects and joined Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH in 2001.

She notes that many of the 2,100 SMM exhibitors are attractive employers with

good prospects for trainees, qualified staff, skilled workers and management

executives. A good example of the business power prospects for women in a

largely male domain is Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and CEO of Navios Maritime

Holdings. She has made it to 16th position in the prestigious “Top 100 influential

people in shipping” published by Lloyd’s List in 2015.

WISTA President Dagmar Klenk can only recommend that women go into the

maritime industries – “An exciting and varied field of work, full of fascinating

opportunities. The maritime industries have such a variety of activities – in

shipping companies on shore or at sea, in the equipment supply industry, and in

finance.” And they are highly international.

More women in the maritime industries – that can be a win-win situation for

companies and applicants. WISTA and the Maritime Career Market at SMM give a

major boost to this development.

About the Maritime Career Market

The Maritime Career Market at SMM on 9 September is the ideal platform for

matching jobs with applicants, and for presentation of training and education

opportunities in the maritime industries. Companies and institutions can present

themselves and their offers at a dedicated jobs market. For more information,

Security first – SMM puts the focus on maritime security Cyber-attacks, piracy, container theft – the increase in digital networking

makes shipping companies and ports vulnerable to criminal attacks. And the

demand for innovative systems and methods for effective countermeasures

is correspondingly great. SMM focuses the subject in a special exhibition

hall. A large number of companies have already booked space there.

Hamburg, 4 February 2016 – Dirty data business is on the rise. The number of

cyber-attacks on major companies in 2015 was up 40% on the previous year

according to US software specialist Symantec. The damage in Germany alone

was 51 billion euros, according to Bitkom, Germany’s digital association. The

problem affects all industries, and shipping is no exception. The increase in

digitisation has vastly increased the risks. That is why SMM, the world’s leading

maritime industries fair to be held in Hamburg from 6 to 9 September, puts the

spotlight on security. Protection from cyber-attacks, piracy and theft in ports is of

vital interest for shipyards, equipment manufacturers, terminal operators and

service providers. A large number of exhibitors have already registered for space

in Hall B8 – there are just a few spaces still available.

Cyber-attacks – individual security concepts in Hall B8

Effective management of IT risks requires security concepts tailored to the

individual threat scenarios. Technical measures such as anti-virus programs and

phishing filters can help to prevent external attacks. Training programmes can help

to increase risk awareness on the part of staff – relevant concepts from various

companies will also be presented in Hall B8.

The industry has recognised the threat from cyber-attacks – at the beginning of

January 2016, the first guidelines for cyber security were published by the Baltic

and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), together with other international

maritime associations such as the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS). “They

provide guidance in application of the available technical means and methods for

defence against cyber crime, and for limitation of the damage which cyber-attacks

could have on business, image and security,” says ICS Secretary General Peter

Hinchliffe.

The threat from cyber crime is also one of the subjects covered by the conference

programme of MS&D (Maritime Security & Defence) on 7 September 2016. MS&D

is an accompanying conference for SMM, and features leading international

experts discussing not only the increase in IT risks, but also how to combat

organised crime, and to effectively secure ports and maritime routes.

SMM 2016 – specific solutions for combating piracy

Piracy continues to be an acute risk for shipping. In 2015 the number of armed

attacks at sea was about the same as the previous year, but “the current calm off

the coasts of Somalia is due only to the naval forces deployed there, and the huge

investments by shipping lines in security personnel and protective equipment. And

we are also concerned about other regions, such as Nigeria and Asian waters,”

says Oliver Wieck, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce

in Germany.

A large number of manufacturers will present their anti-piracy solutions at SMM.

For example Mehler Engineered Defence – the company has a two-stage concept

for citadel systems on ships. “Crewsafe” comprises ballistic protection systems

and modular wall and door elements. “That is the only way to ensure that the crew

and equipment can survive and remain secure from attack,” says CEO Christian

Vahldiek. He is looking forward to SMM – “The event in Hamburg is where we not

only meet our naval customers, but also network with merchant shipping

operators. SMM is the ideal setting for that.”

The German navy is also a regular participant at SMM. “We use SMM to attract

recruits. We discuss with our guests the career opportunities, operations and

equipment,” says Sascha Grün, NCO with the rank of Oberstabsfeldwebel

(Warrant Officer Class 1). The key responsibility of the navy is to secure the

maritime transport routes, for example around the Horn of Africa – “Since 2013,

pirates there have no longer succeeded in gaining control of a ship,” says Grün.

Organised crime – aiming at ports and containers

Ports are equally attractive to criminal gangs. The contents of a single container

may be worth seven-digit amounts – and that makes terminals a worthwhile target

for organised crime. Here, too, the risk of cyber-attacks is increasing. In the past,

specialist gangs have often succeeded in hacking terminal systems. Huge losses

can be prevented by effective data protection, and also smart access control

systems for the port area. Appropriate technical methods will be presented at

SMM.

Where attacks come from the sea, it is up to the coastguard to take action. SMM

exhibitor Rafnar Shipyard from Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, will present a ship

type developed by the company specifically for the Icelandic Coast Guard. Leiftur

RIB, the third and latest generation of Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs), is eleven

metres long and has a maximum speed of 40 knots. “It has been proven that this

craft works extremely well for us in our operations in Icelandic waters,” says Georg

Lárusson, CEO of the Icelandic Coast Guard.

The interest in Hall B8 is tremendous. A large number of exhibitors have already

registered, and will present their innovative concepts to beat cybercrime, thefts in

port and piracy. Reservations can still be made for this area at http://smm-

hamburg.com/exhibit

About SMM

Hamburg Messe und Congress opens the door to Iran

Hamburg, 1 February 2016 – For the first time after the end of the trade sanctions, Iran will

be represented by a national pavilion at SMM Hamburg, the leading international maritime

trade fair. “An industry fair is a great platform for building new relationships and getting to

know each other,” says Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg Messe und

Congress GmbH. From 6 to 9 September 2016, Iran will showcase its capabilities in an area

of its own. "We are setting the stage for the formation of new international business contacts,

providing opportunities for fair participants to become acquainted with Iranian companies and

potential customers," says Aufderheide.

A delegation from Hamburg Messe had visited Iran as early as December 2015 to attend

Iranimex, the International Marine Industries Exhibition. On occasion of this visit, the group

invited potential visitors, exhibitors and delegations to Germany. "Iranian businesses are

showing a lively interest in European products and German know-how,” says the CEO.

"SMM is the maritime sector's most important platform for face-to-face networking and

closing business deals,” says Hauke Schlegel, chairman of the German engineering industry

association VDMA. Following the lifting of the trade sanctions, the country is in great need of

innovation and new ships, he adds. "We see great potential for collaboration with Iran," says

Schlegel. Since Iran continues to procure its shipbuilding equipment and technology from

Germany and Europe, the country is of vital strategic importance to the supply industry, the

VDMA chairman adds.

For many years Iran was isolated from global trade. The first sanctions were imposed by the

United States over three decades ago. Once the Iran nuclear deal framework agreement was

reached, a large portion of the sanctions were lifted in January 2016. According to the

national shipping company Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, Iran intends to invest

roughly $120 billion by the year 2020 to rebuild its national fleet.

SMM will be accompanied by a comprehensive supporting programme

With digitalisation, big data and green propulsion as main themes, SMM 2016 addresses key items on the agenda of the maritime industry, pointing

the way out of the crisis. This fair is the highlight of the year and a must-attend for the entire industry.

Setting a course

The German chancellor emphasised the

importance of the maritime sector for

Germany as an industrial nation during the

last National Maritime Conference*:

“There is an increasing demand for cus-

tom-tailored, high-quality solutions as well

as exceptional competency in systems en-

gineering. (...) Investing in state-of-the-art

shipbuilding not only beneits shipyards but

also suppliers. All of Germany proits from

the value added within the maritime sector.

(...) In any exporting nation like Germany

that is open to the world, the shipping indus-

try plays an extremely important role. Ship-

ping is one of the key modes of transport,

and the most important one for the global *Exc

exchange of goods. (...) Roughly 400,000

people are working in the German maritime

sector. 2,800 mostly medium-sized compa-

nies generate annual revenues of around 50

billion euros. It is thus in the best interest of

shipping companies, shipyards and the sup-

ply industry to maintain their reputation as

attractive places of employment, continue

developing maritime expertise by employ-

ing highly qualiied young talents, and sup-

port specialists for niche markets. (...) The

maritime industry is (...) a driving force for

environmentally compatible transport. It is

a leading innovator for high-tech shipbuild-

ing, contributing to the wealth of our society

by creating numerous jobs.”

SMM 2016 will again be under the patronage of Chancellor Angela Merkel.

try is shrinking while safety and envi-

ronmental protection requirements are

getting stricter and the performance

expectations in the market higher. In-

novation is thus the order of the day:

“To be able to contribute to the develop-

ment as major players, companies must

invest in their future-readiness,” says

Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of

Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH.

Digital and sustainable

The renowned shipping expert Dr Martin

Stopford, Non-Executive President of Clarkson

Research Services Ltd., says the industry must

reinvent itself: “Smart shipping offers a new busi-

ness model.” Shipping companies should focus on

digital solutions involving telematics, satellite commu-

nication, advanced information technology, big data and

automation (see page 2). IT-based solutions are highly

prominent in the portfolios of more than 2,100 exhibi-

tors at SMM. On 5 September, the eve of SMM 2016, a

new conference titled “Maritime Future Summit” featur-

ing international experts and key players will discuss

visions for a high-performing, sustainable and success-

ful shipping industry.

China to establish Emission Control Areas

In response to growing environmental aware-

ness, the International Maritime Organization

(IMO) is tightening its emission regulations,

and new regional limits are being intro-

duced as well. China plans to establish

several Emission Control Areas (ECAs) by

2019. LNG might soon be the ship fuel of

choice: “There is continued pressure on

the shipping industry to become greener.

LNG is an important step forward,” says

Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of the classi-

ication society and consultancy DNV GL –

Maritime. The new SMM exhibition hall

A5 will be entirely dedicated to green pro-

pulsion (see page 3).

Covering over 90,000 square metres,

SMM 2016 will be more international than

ever. The 2014 event had already set a new

record with 26 national pavilions and exhibitors

from 67 countries. “We are especially pleased to

welcome Iran as a new participant this year,” says

Claus Ulrich Selbach, Business Unit Director Maritime

and Technology Fairs. Developing new markets, promot-

ing new technologies, building networks and facilitating

deals, SMM has more international visitors than any oth-

er maritime industry event. smm-hamburg.com/trailer

A new, smart business modelThe conventional business model for shipping companies is reaching the

end of its useful life. A change of course is of vital importance, says guest

author Dr Martin Stopford.

can be handled as one single productive

team. Smart shipping integrates leet sys-

tems, similar to a modern automobile fac-

tory, thereby improving asset performance,

and it enables the extraction of meaningful

information from big data to improve pro-

cesses, reduce accidents, and keep man-

agement up to date. Ship operators can

prepare regulatory reports digitally instead

of manually.

What is more, smart shipping provides

shipping companies with the means to de-

velop global through-transport systems

similar to those used by leading interna-

tional Internet-based re-

tailers and logistics provid-

ers.

Once harmonised standards and

formats have been established, on-board

systems will be able to detect and diagnose

anomalous conditions, isolate the causes

and resolve them without direct human in-

volvement. Feedback loops will enable fully

transparent systems monitored remotely by

the equipment manufacturers and the ship-

ping company’s management ofice.

State-of-the-art satellite infrastructure

will soon cover most of the globe, allow-

ing shipowners to use digital transmission

to manage a leet as one entity similar to a

factory. This will fundamentally change the

way a shipping business can be run.

The requirements

The technical means and skills needed to

implement smart shipping include on-board

telematic sensors capable of transmitting

readings automatically as well as appropri-

ate information systems to aggregate the

data into meaningful performance infor-

mation for management decision support.

Each ship needs a network services de-

vice (NSD) to interlink on-board

telemetrics with the company

server via satellite.

To reap the full ben-

eits of operational

data from ships, ship-

ping companies need

highly skilled data

processing experts

with some on-board

experience.

Overcoming scepticism

The history of the ocean

transport industry contains

enough examples of clever busi-

nessmen who read the signs of the times

and changed their business model. As per-

formance expectations increase, shipping

companies must overcome their reserva-

tions and embrace Smart Shipping to re-

main competitive.

Shipping companies are struggling with

volatile income, tight costs and increas-

ing environmental pressure. Eficiency-en-

hancing technology has been pushed to the

maximum; but the industry has been slow

to recognise the economic potential of infor-

mation and communication technology (ICT).

The beneits

Smart shipping enables shipping compa-

nies to use their assets more eficiently by

automating ship operations and navigation

and reducing the need for highly skilled

staff on board. Ship and shore personnel

Smart Shipping: It is time for the industry to

realise the full potential of modern ICT.

Mega-Cruiser: “Harmony of the Seas” sets a new size record

– but not for long.

Wanted: balanced marketThe shipping sector responds to its

oversupply problem by consolidat-

ing leets and improving eficiency.

The industry is in a state of shock: at the

beginning of the year, South Korea, the

world’s second-largest shipbuilding nation

after China, did not have a single new or-

der on record. The dificult situation on the

shipping markets has long been relected in

shrinking order books.

Overcapacities are depressing freight

and charter rates. China’s slacking econo-

my has caused the Baltic Dry Index of bulk

transport volumes to drop to a low 300

points at the beginning of the year, one sev-

enth of its level in early 2014. And there is

no relief in sight. The container market is

similarly troubled.

Technical know-how is in demand

There are industry responces in various

ways which will be discussed at the irst

ever Maritime Future Summit the day be-

fore SMM. Shipping companies merge to

beneit from economies of scale; the most

recent examples include Cosco and China

Shipping as well as CMA CGM and NOL. In

addition, more ships are laid up. While the

trend towards building ever larger ships

New horizons for the cruise industrySteaming through the record year 2016 with new ships and innovative concepts.

The boom continues: the Cruise Lines

International Association (CLIA) ex-

pects no fewer than 24 million cruise

passengers worldwide in 2016, a 4.3 per

cent increase on the previous year. The

shipping companies are well prepared: as

many as 27 new ships will take their maid-

en voyage in 2016. Among the “debutantes”

is Royal Caribbean’s “Harmony of the

Seas”, the world’s largest cruise ship yet,

boasting cabins for 5,480 passengers. The

French STX shipyard is building two Mer-

aviglia-class ships for MSC Cruises, which

will each accommodate roughly 5,700

passengers. AIDA is aiming even higher:

Meyer Werft shipyard is building two new

6,600-passenger cruise ships, the irst of

their kind to be fully LNG-powered.

The trend towards targeting speciic

customer segments continues, with

the demand for expeditions to re-

mote regions increasing stead-

ily. Hurtigruten not only

sail along the Norwegian

coast but also to the Ant-

arctic, Greenland, Ice-

land, Canada and the

Amazon.

seems to have slowed, in part because of

growing dificulties encountered in ports,

measures to increase operating eficiency

continue to be high on the agenda: in spite

of the dramatic drop in fuel prices, invest-

ments in performance-enhancing technol-

ogy are economically feasible. The shipping

company NSB, cooperating closely with the

charterer MSC, had three ships widened by

7.5 metres at the Chinese HRDD shipyard,

increasing vessel capacity from 4,800 to

6,300 containers. “Since the operating costs

for these ships remain the same, they now

achieve an eficiency level equivalent to that

of current, expensive newbuilds,” says Tim

Ponath, COO at NSB.

Broad product offering at SMM

The use of information technology to op-

timise ship operation is becoming more

common as well. Setting up land-based

high-tech control centres to monitor ship

performance and control ship movements

based on weather conditions and port traf-

ic is no longer a strategy limited to larger

shipping companies. It requires the techni-

cal expertise of system vendors, software

houses and classiication societies whose

solutions are sure to draw great interest at

this year’s SMM. smm-hamburg.com/mfs

A connectivity revolutionKnut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL – Maritime, discusses green shipping, LNG and the digitalisation of shipping.

A penny saved is a penny earned: the

shipbuilding and supply industry as well

as engineering irms deliver a broad se-

lection of solutions that can reduce

noxious emissions from ships sig-

niicantly. Apart from specialised

exhaust gas cleaning systems

such as scrubbers, alter-

native fuels are moving

into the centre of atten-

tion. At the global mari-

time environmental con-

gress (gmec), to be held on 6

September as part of SMM, the

overarching topic will be LNG as

a ship fuel.

Flagships for LNG

A breakthrough has yet to be achieved, but

many ships already have dual fuel propul-

sion systems capable of switching over to liq-

ueied natural gas, or ready for conversion.

AIDAprima, AIDA’s new lagship commis-

sioned recently, is among these vessels, as

are several huge container ships delivered

to UASC by Hyundai Heavy Industries. Even

in standard operating mode these ships ex-

ceed the requirements of the IMO Eficiency

Design Index (EEDI), which will come into ef-

fect in 2025, by nearly 50 per cent.

The German ferry operator AG Ems goes

one step further by fully relying on LNG

technology from Wärtsilä for its new ferry

“Helgoland” and the retroitted vessel “Ost-

friesland”. Four next-generation cruise

ships ordered from Meyer-Werft ship-

yard by the Carnival group will likewise be

fully powered by LNG. The Japanese ship-

building company Oshima has an 80,000

dwt LNG bulk carrier (“Kamsarmax”) in

its portfolio, and the German shipowning

company Reederei Wessels is retroit-

ting its feeder “Wes Amelie” to run

on LNG, the world’s irst

such conversion of a con-

tainer ship.

New hall at SMM

The result is impressive: sul-

phur oxides are reduced by more

than 99 per cent, nitrous oxides by 90 per

cent, and CO2 by up to 20 per cent. The re-

quired supply infrastructure is slowly taking

shape as well: in several ports, LNG barges

provide power to ships at berth, and the

countries bordering ECA waters are work-

ing hard to build up LNG supply systems.

From shipowners to suppliers of technology

through to port operators, stakeholders of

all industry segments will join in hall A5 at

SMM to learn about green propulsion and

promote planet-friendly shipping.

Green diversityGreen shipping continues to be a top item on the agenda of the maritime industry. The full spectrum of planet-

friendly technologies will be discussed at gmec and demonstrated in the new SMM exhibition hall A5.

Mr Ørbeck-Nilssen, in which state is the

shipping industry currently?

Ørbeck-Nilssen: The shipping industry is

approaching its eighth year of the downturn

and a rapid market recovery is not expected.

Historically there have always been chal-

lenges in the extremely cyclical business

of shipping, but never one that has hit the

industry quite so hard.

What is the role of the tightening environ-

mental regulations?

Ørbeck-Nilssen: The shipping community

is presently struggling to cope with what is

perceived as a veritable “tsunami of regula-

tions”, while also keeping their ships run-

ning in a highly challenging business envi-

ronment. However, in DNV GL we see that

many customers come to us for advice in

how to navigate in this situation. A lot has

been done to increase eficiency over the

last few years. And eficiency means emis-

sion reductions.

Measures helping to reduce noxious emis-

sions and to drive eficiency are high on the

agenda. Isn’t the current low oil price rath-

er counterproductive to this endeavour?

Ørbeck-Nilssen: A continuing low oil price

could mean that some owners with vessels

that were likely retroit candidates choose

to postpone or not choose these options. But

even with the oil price where it is, many ret-

roit options still have short payback times.

In the end it’s all about the business case,

which we as third-party advisors have to

make as good as possible. A period of cheap-

er oil isn’t likely to roll the efforts back which

the industry has already achieved in enhanc-

ing eficiency. Saving fuel is still saving fuel.

What needs to be done to help LNG break

through as an alternative fuel?

Ørbeck-Nilssen: LNG as a fuel has the po-

tential to become the most important fuel

solution for environmentally sustainable

shipping over the next few years. There are

more than 80 LNG-fuelled ships in operation

and 84 conirmed orders. Many are relatively

small but LNG is also an option for ultra-

large container ships and bulk carriers.

Big data, smart shipping – what is the

future of shipping going to be like?

Ørbeck-Nilssen: The shipping industry is

embarking on a veritable connectivity rev-

olution. The biggest change will be

the improvement and spread of

connectivity between ship

and shore. This will help to reduce the

risks of accidents, increase cost eficiency

and help to improve environmental perfor-

mance.

DNV GL and SMM have been cooperating for

many years. What do you believe is special

about this fair?

Ørbeck-Nilssen: SMM gives us a unique op-

portunity to interact with the interna-

tional market. The fair has inspired

us to be even more innovative.

A billion- euro market

The IMO Ballast Water Conven-

tion will soon enter the imple-

mentation phase. It aims to curb

the introduction of harmful aquatic

organisms into new environments

through ballast water.

Within ive years all ships will

be required to install a ballast

water treatment system the irst

time they dock for routine main-

tenance work. The greatest chal-

lenge, however, are the US Coast

Guard’s (USCG) separate, stricter

standards for the post-treatment

quality of ballast water as issued in

2013, which go beyond the require-

ments of the IMO convention. Many

ballast water treatment systems

do not fulil this requirement. The

gmec environmental conference

on 6 September will

discuss this topic in

depth.

An urgent matter – and

two conlicting regulations.

Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen joined DNV GL as an

engineer in 1990. He has been heading the

maritime division of the company since mid-2015.

Progress: The LNG-fuelled Kamsarmax bulk carrier offers a lexible, safe, future-proof solution and the opportunity to almost elimi-nate SOX and reduce CO2 emissions.

Bernd Aufderheide, President and

CEO Hamburg Messe und Congress

GmbH (HMC), puts it in a nutshell: “We

are setting the stage for the formation

of new international business contacts

by providing spaces for several new

national pavilions.” For the irst time,

SMM will feature country pavilions by

Iran, Malaysia and Greece this year.

Where the nations meet

Iran’s presence marks the return of the

country to the international maritime

stage following the end of the trade

sanctions. There is a lively interest in

European products and German know-

how among Iranian businesses.

“We see great potential in future co-

operation with Iran,” conirms Hauke

Schlegel, General Manager of the Ger-

man engineering industry association

VDMA. There is signiicant capital wait-

ing to be invested: the national shipping

company Islamic Republic of Iran Ship-

ping Lines says Iran intends to spend

roughly 120 billion dollars by the year

2020 on rebuilding its national leet.

Several other nations, including

Romania and Singapore, have decided

to return to SMM after some absence.

”We are excited to welcome these im-

portant seafaring nations back to SMM.

I have no doubt their participation will

be a full success,” says Claus Ulrich

Selbach, Business Unit Director Mari-

time and Technology Fairs.

Welcome to SMMIran is one of three nations

celebrating their debut at SMM

with a national pavilion. Several

others are rejoining.

The shipping industry is in the midst of its third revolution. Digitalisation may be able to help the

industry overcome its challenges, but it is a challenge of its own.

Shipping company employees spend up to

25 per cent of their workdays searching

for information. For an average company

with a staff of 100, this adds up to roughly

1.5 million euros in annual costs which

could be saved by simply improving the way

information is managed. Ship management

software applications, which are among the

digital solutions highlighted at SMM 2016,

can make a big difference. The digitalisation

of the shipping industry is at the top of the

agenda of this year’s SMM exhibition and

conference programme. As the industry en-

ters the era of smart shipping, SMM points

the way by bringing together leading subject

matter experts from around the world.

Effective defence

Modern software streamlines processes

both on board ships and in land-based of-

ices. Some shipowners develop solutions of

their own, while others resort to the servic-

es of specialised IT providers. For example,

advanced solutions cut the time required to

prepare reports about ship inspections from

several weeks to a single day; they allow

charterers to lower their bunker costs and

improve their CO2 footprint, enable owners

to protect their assets, and help ship man-

agers optimise operating expenses.

According to estimates by Caterpillar,

20 billion euros are spent on “Shipping

3.0” every year. ”This is a truly exciting

period in the history of shipping. Technol-

ogy, and in particular, the smart use of big

data is going to drive the next generations

of ships. Over the next ten to 20 years we

believe ship intelligence is going to be the

driving force that will determine the future

of our industry, the type of ships at sea,

and the competence levels required from

to morrow’s seafarers,” says

Mikael Makinen, Rolls-Royce

President Marine. Visionary de-

velopers have even been working

on prototypes of unmanned ships.

Fighting cyberattacks

On the downside, sophisticated on-board

computer technology also raises the risk of

cyberattacks, data theft and industrial espi-

onage. It takes an effective security concept

to handle these threats. Technical means

such as antivirus software and phishing il-

ters can help. Training programmes raise

employee awareness. The

industry has recognised the

danger: in early January, the

Baltic and International Maritime

Council (BIMCO), working hand in

hand with other international ship-

ping associations such as the International

Chamber of Shipping (ICS), published some

initial cybersecurity guidelines to “provide

guidance in applying the technical means

and methods available today to guard

against cyberattacks and limit the potential

damage,” says ICS Secretary General Peter

Hinchliffe.

Smart solutions – new opportunities

India prepares for take-offIndia’s maritime industry has ambitious goals: within the next few years,

the country wants to become one of the world’s leading shipbuilding nations.

India offers competitive labour costs,

an eficient workforce of well-trained

engineers, and one of the world’s fast-

est-growing economies. The prospects

are good for the subcontinent’s ship-

building industry.

The success of last year’s uni-

ied edition of INMEX SMM India, the

combination of the nation’s two lead-

ing maritime events, speaks for itself:

more than 600 exhibitors from over 30

nations, close to 8,000 industry visitors,

and more than 300 B2B meetings.

Visitors and exhibitors enjoyed a

rich display of advanced technology and

newly developed products for the ship-

building industry. Leading shipbuilding

nations such as Germany, Denmark,

France, Korea, Taiwan and Norway

presented their latest developments in

national pavilions. The trade fair was

accompanied by

an international

conference pro-

gramme featuring

highly respected

experts. The next

A new polar research vessel will soon be

roughly ten percentage points. For example,

Vietnam moved up from 43rd to 8th place in

the international ranking. “With these pur-

chases Hanoi wants to protect its interests

Paciic.

India’s weapon import activities stand

out: the nation is buying three times as many

type can operate under challenging weather

conditions. Its helipads further expand the

deployment options. The ships will be man-

aged by Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement.

These and other notable projects will pro-

vide plenty of food for discussion at the Off-

shore Dialogue held during SMM, as well as

during the WindEnergy Hamburg trade fair

which will take place at Europe’s wind en-

ergy capital from 27 to 30 September.

Europe leads the world in offshore

wind energy installations and wants

to maintain its leading position in

ocean research as well.

The gold rush is deinitely over for the

time being. The offshore oil and gas in-

dustry is suffering massive losses due to

the dramatic price drop, and many explo-

ration projects have been put on hold. The

supermajors are cutting back investments

signiicantly. Shell reduced its spending by

8.5 billion dollars in 2015 and discontinued

some of its less promising projects, includ-

ing oil exploration in Alaska.

The Brazilian national oil company

Petrobras is cutting its investments until

2019 by 32 billion dollars. There are re-

percussions for shipowners as well: with

fewer projects requiring attention, many

offshore supply vessels are sitting idle. The

demand for new ships has declined accord-

ingly: the Malaysian oil and gas company

Petronas, for instance, has recently post-

poned indeinitely the delivery of its second

LNG production unit (FLNG) by the Korean

shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries.

Food for discussion during SMM

In the offshore wind segment, however, the

situation looks much better: last year alone

EU member countries added 3,035 mega-

watts of offshore power generation capacity,

more than twice as much as in 2014 (refer

to diagram). The total offshore investment

volume was 13.2 billion euros. But there

is some uncertainty about the future. Giles

Dickson, the CEO of the European Wind En-

ergy Association (EWEA, now “WindEurope”),

therefore demands “clear goals and initia-

tives for the development of renewable en-

ergy after 2020”. A new guideline announced

by the EU commission might lend fresh im-

petus to such plans. It will not only beneit

arms as its regional rivals Pakistan and Chi-

na, taking the top position in international

weaponry imports with a 14 per cent share.

To reduce dependency on imports, the coun-

try is investing continuously in its domestic

shipbuilding capabilities. The Pipavav ship-

yard received the biggest order of all times

in the private shipbuilding sector last year:

three to four frigates of the Russian Talwar

class with an improved design. Worth three

billion dollars, the project exempliies Prime

Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” in-

itiative (see page 4). Australian plans to in-

vest 195 billion Australian dollars (€126 bn)

over the next 20 years include twelve new

submarines as well as several frigates and

patrol boats. According to Prime Minister

Malcolm Turnbull, the purpose is to “deliver

a more potent, agile and engaged Austral-

ian Defence Force that is ready to respond

whenever our interests are threatened or

our help is needed,” and to ensure peace

across the Asia-Paciic region.

A broad array of security topics

Apart from their conventional tasks, coast

guards and navies are increasingly deployed

on non-military missions, from combating

piracy to rescuing refugees.

The MS&D conference on 7 September

as part of SMM will address a broad array

of security and defence topics. And while in

exhibition hall B8 the focus is speciically

on maritime security, many SMM exhibitors

will showcase dual-use technology suited

equally well to civil and naval shipping.

One of the focal topics of SMM 2016 is environmentally compatible propulsion. Hamburg Messe und Congress

will provide an entire new exhibition area – hall A5 – exclusively for clean technologies.

By bundling all innovative propulsion

technologies in a new hall backed by an

appropriate concept, we offer our exhibi-

tors an ideal environment for showcasing

their products and services,” says Claus

Ulrich Selbach, Business Unit Director –

Maritime and Technology Fairs & Exhibi-

tions at Hamburg Messe und Congress

GmbH.

A highly competitive market and tough-

ening environmental restrictions are mak-

ing alternative fuels more attractive than

Shipbuilders, suppliers and port opera-

tors are feeling the repercussions of

the demographic shift, searching almost

desperately for qualiied staff, including

trainees and executives. Women are in high

demand. The German Federal Ministry of

Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI)

recently gave a clear signal: its National

Port Concept deines “increasing the share

of female employees in ports” as a “perma-

nent challenge”.

More power to women in the maritime

industry – that is one of the messages of

the SMM Maritime Career Market on 9 Sep-

tember. “Putting this issue expressly on the

agenda of this highly technical trade fair is

just the right signal,” says Dagmar Klenk,

Chairwoman of WISTA Ger-

many. Her organisation has

been supporting national and

international women’s networks

within the maritime sector for over 40

years. For many years WISTA has been

hosting an evening reception for inter-

national members visiting or exhibiting

at SMM trade fairs. A special highlight is

planned for this year’s fair: WISTA Germa-

ny will present a “Personality of the Year

2016” award at SMM. “With this award we

want to honour women who are role mod-

els in terms of careers and achievements

within the maritime industry,” says Klenk.

“We made the decision to present this

award quite consciously to raise aware-

ness of our network within the

context of this highly regarded

event,” she stresses.

Supporting young talents is an-

other important goal pursued by the Mari-

time Career Market: it will provide students

and graduates with a unique platform to

get irst-hand information about career

paths in the maritime world; and female ap-

plicants are expressly invited to seize the

opportunity. smm-hamburg.com/mcm
