On-Board Technology Is Changing

MTP on the Ship: Fewer Errors, Lower Costs, Less Time

Nowadays, bigger and bigger ships are built in less and less time. This scenario characterizes the entire maritime sector. Further, due to both heightened cost pressures and sharper environmental requirements, modern container leviathans and cruise ships must rely on increasingly complex technologies. But won't on-board digitalization itself – catchword Maritime 4.0 – automatically make everything better? No – at least, not when the different systems on board continue to follow their individual course. MTP opens the way to seamlessly and quickly link together machine and system components, without bringing time-consuming discussions over interfaces in the ship automation system.

MTP on Ships: Fewer Errors, Lower Costs, Less Time

Bigger and bigger ships are being built in less and less time. This is true of the entire maritime sector. Furthermore, due to both heightened cost pressures and stricter environmental requirements, modern container leviathans and cruise ships need to rely on increasingly complex technologies. But won’t on-board digitalization – keyword “Maritime 4.0” – automatically make everything better? No – at least not if the different systems on board continue to pursue separate paths. MTP offers a way to link machine and system components together quickly and seamlessly and to incorporate them into the ship automation system without time-consuming discussions about interfaces.
