MacGregor calls for cooperation to drive maritime industry transformation
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 6 SEPTEMBER 2016 AT 9 AM EEST
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, opens the discussion about a new cooperative drive
to renew and transform the maritime industry at the SMM exhibition in Hamburg,
Germany, during 6 - 9 September, 2016.
Today's marine and offshore industries are built on decades of experience but,
in part, also on far-reaching outdated processes and solutions. "In the segments
where we operate, we have identified a lot of unnecessary waste in the form of
inefficiencies, outdated practices, damage to cargo and dangerous working
conditions for shipboard crew and stevedores. In today's current climate,
addressing these issues is more crucial than ever. This is why we are calling
for change," says Michel van Roozendaal, President, MacGregor.
MacGregor is committed to optimising the lifetime profitability, efficiency,
safety, reliability and environmental sustainability of its customers
operations, but understands that this is best done in close cooperation with
customers and other stakeholders. During SMM MacGregor will host an exclusive
industry renewal discussion to boost the transformation. Step-changes in
productivity will be driven by advances in connectivity and digitalisation,
along with new business models and new capabilities.
At SMM, MacGregor will have a range of experts available to discuss how it is
able to maximise the earning potential of every ship type and will also
demonstrate innovative solutions, such as the interactive simulation platform,
C-How. It is extremely flexible and can be used as an interactive calculation
tool, visualising loading scenarios without any risks.
