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.
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 MacGregor 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 expressly praised the German industry for its vigorous innovation and customtailored solutions. By putting the focus on digitalisation, he said, SMM underscores 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 newlycreated 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:

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 timehonoured 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.smmhamburg.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.

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://smmhamburg.com/exhibit
About SMM
SMM is the world’s leading maritime industries exhibition, with more than 2,100
exhibitors. Major players from more than 70 nations will present the advanced

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.

prominent in the portfolios of more than 2,100 exhibitors at SMM. On 5 September, the eve of SMM 2016, a
new conference titled “Maritime Future Summit” featuring international experts and key players will discuss
visions for a high-performing, sustainable and successful shipping industry.
rom shipowners to shipyards, and from suppliers to
port operators, the maritime industry is looking forward to SMM, the leading international maritime trade
fair in Hamburg. SMM is the place where the shipbuilding and shipping world meets up to showcase innovative
technologies, products and services, share ideas,
network, and negotiate deals. It is an event no
stakeholder can afford to miss, and an inspiring
and fun experience for visitors and exhibitors
alike even at challenging times like these.
And challenging they are. Amidst low
freight and charter rates, a weak global
economy, and dramatic shifts in the low
of goods, the inancial basis of the industry is shrinking while safety and environmental protection requirements are
getting stricter and the performance
expectations in the market higher. Innovation is thus the order of the day:
“To be able to contribute to the development as major players, companies must
invest in their future-readiness,” says
Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of
Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH.
China to establish Emission Control Areas
In response to growing environmental awareness, the International Maritime Organization
(IMO) is tightening its emission regulations,
and new regional limits are being introduced 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 classiication society and consultancy DNV GL –
Maritime. The new SMM exhibition hall
A5 will be entirely dedicated to green propulsion (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, promoting new technologies, building networks and facilitating
deals, SMM has more international visitors than any other maritime industry event. smm-hamburg.com/trailer

Angela Merkel: The German
chancellor is a strong supporter
of the maritime sector.
he 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 custom-tailored, high-quality solutions as well
as exceptional competency in systems engineering. (...) 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 industry plays an extremely important role. Shipping is one of the key modes of transport,
and the most important one for the global
smm-hamburg.com
exchange of goods. (...) Roughly 400,000
people are working in the German maritime
sector. 2,800 mostly medium-sized companies generate annual revenues of around 50
billion euros. It is thus in the best interest of
shipping companies, shipyards and the supply industry to maintain their reputation as
attractive places of employment, continue
developing maritime expertise by employing highly qualiied young talents, and support specialists for niche markets. (...) The
maritime industry is (...) a driving force for
environmentally compatible transport. It is
a leading innovator for high-tech shipbuilding, contributing to the wealth of our society
by creating numerous jobs.”

he boom continues: the Cruise Lines
International Association (CLIA) expects 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 maiden 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 Meraviglia-class ships for MSC Cruises, which
will each accommodate roughly 5,700
he 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 order 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 economy has caused the Baltic Dry Index of bulk
transport volumes to drop to a low 300
points at the beginning of the year, one seventh of its level in early 2014. And there is
no relief in sight. The container market is
similarly troubled.

New horizons for the cruise industry
The shipping sector responds to its
oversupply problem by consolidating leets and improving eficiency.
There are industry responces in various
ways which will be discussed at the irst
ever Maritime Future Summit the day before 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

can be handled as one single productive
team. Smart shipping integrates leet systems, similar to a modern automobile factory, thereby improving asset performance,
and it enables the extraction of meaningful
information from big data to improve processes, reduce accidents, and keep management up to date. Ship operators can
prepare regulatory reports digitally instead
of manually.
What is more, smart shipping provides

Green diversity
A billioneuro market
Green shipping continues to be a top item on the agenda of the maritime industry. The full spectrum of planetfriendly technologies will be discussed at gmec and demonstrated in the new SMM exhibition hall A5.
An urgent matter – and
two conlicting regulations.
A
penny saved is a penny earned: the
shipbuilding and supply industry as well
as engineering irms deliver a broad selection of solutions that can reduce
noxious emissions from ships signiicantly. Apart from specialised
exhaust gas cleaning systems
such as scrubbers, alternative fuels are moving
into the centre of attention. At the global maritime environmental congress (gmec), to be held on 6
September as part of SMM, the
overarching topic will be LNG as
a ship fuel.

he IMO Ballast Water Convention will soon enter the implementation 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 maintenance work. The greatest challenge, 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 requirements 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.
A breakthrough has yet to be achieved, but
many ships already have dual fuel propulsion systems capable of switching over to liqueied natural gas, or ready for conversion.
AIDAprima, AIDA’s new lagship commissioned 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 exceed the requirements of the IMO Eficiency
Design Index (EEDI), which will come into effect in 2025, by nearly 50 per cent.
company Reederei Wessels is retroitting its feeder “Wes Amelie” to run
on LNG, the world’s irst
such conversion of a container ship.
Milestone:
China has issued new regulations designating three key
Sulphur Emission Control Areas
(ECA). Further ECAs will be
established by 2019.
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 “Ostfriesland”. Four next-generation cruise
ships ordered from Meyer-Werft shipyard by the Carnival group will likewise be
fully powered by LNG. The Japanese shipbuilding company Oshima has an 80,000
dwt LNG bulk carrier (“Kamsarmax”) in
its portfolio, and the German shipowning
The result is impressive: sulphur oxides are reduced by more
than 99 per cent, nitrous oxides by 90 per
cent, and CO2 by up to 20 per cent. The required 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 working 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.

A connectivity revolution
Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL – Maritime, discusses green shipping, LNG and the digitalisation of shipping.
which we as third-party advisors have to
make as good as possible. A period of cheaper oil isn’t likely to roll the efforts back which
the industry has already achieved in enhancing 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 potential 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 ultralarge 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 revolution. 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 performance.
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 opportunity to interact with the international market. The fair has inspired
us to be even more innovative.
Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen
joined DNV GL as an
engineer in 1990. He
has been heading the
maritime division of the
company since mid-2015.

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 challenges 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 environmental regulations?
Ørbeck-Nilssen: The shipping community
is presently struggling to cope with what is
perceived as a veritable “tsunami of regulations”, while also keeping their ships running in a highly challenging business environment. 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 emission reductions.
Measures helping to reduce noxious emissions and to drive eficiency are high on the
agenda. Isn’t the current low oil price rather 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 retroit options still have short payback times.
In the end it’s all about the business case,
Progress: The LNG-fuelled
Kamsarmax bulk carrier offers a
lexible, safe, future-proof solution
and the opportunity to almost eliminate SOX and reduce CO2 emissions.

Smart solutions –
new opportunities
Welcome
to SMM
Iran 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.
B
ernd 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.
Control room: The state-of-the-art
Fleet Operations Center in Hamburg
monitors and advises all 26 AIDA and
Costa cruise ships around the clock.
S
hipping 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 enters the era of smart shipping, SMM points
the way by bringing together leading subject
matter experts from around the world.

Mikael Makinen, Rolls-Royce
President Marine. Visionary developers 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 espionage. It takes an effective security concept
to handle these threats. Technical means
such as antivirus software and phishing ilters can help. Training programmes raise
Effective defence
Modern software streamlines processes
both on board ships and in land-based ofices. Some shipowners develop solutions of
their own, while others resort to the services 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 managers 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. Technology, 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,

industry has recognised the
danger: in early January, the
Baltic and International Maritime

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 knowhow among Iranian businesses.
“We see great potential in future cooperation with Iran,” conirms Hauke
Schlegel, General Manager of the German engineering industry association
VDMA. There is signiicant capital waiting to be invested: the national shipping
company Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping 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 important seafaring nations back to SMM.
I have no doubt their participation will
be a full success,” says Claus Ulrich
Selbach, Business Unit Director Maritime and Technology Fairs.
India prepares for take-off
India’s maritime industry has ambitious goals: within the next few years,
the country wants to become one of the world’s leading shipbuilding nations.
I
ndia offers competitive labour costs,
an eficient workforce of well-trained
engineers, and one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. The prospects
are good for the subcontinent’s shipbuilding industry.
The success of last year’s uniied edition of INMEX SMM India, the
combination of the nation’s two leading 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 shipbuilding industry. Leading shipbuilding

Redoubling efforts in security and defence
Tensions around the world are keeping the international community on its toes. Many countries are investing heavily in military equipment.

S
ix of the world’s biggest arms importers are Asian countries. According to the
Stockholm-based institute SIPRI, the share
of Asia in global arms imports rose from 42
to 46 per cent during the period from 2011
to 2015, compared to the preceding 20-year
period.
The Middle East likewise increased its
share by four per cent, while combined imports to America and Europe dropped by
roughly ten percentage points. For example,
Vietnam moved up from 43rd to 8th place in
the international ranking. “With these purchases Hanoi wants to protect its interests
on the open seas,” says Sophie-Charlotte
Fischer from the UN Regional Centre for
Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the
Paciic.
India’s weapon import activities stand
out: the nation is buying three times as many
arms as its regional rivals Pakistan and China, taking the top position in international
weaponry imports with a 14 per cent share.
To reduce dependency on imports, the country is investing continuously in its domestic
shipbuilding capabilities. The Pipavav shipyard 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” initiative (see page 4). Australian plans to invest 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 Australian 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.

The energy sector refocuses
The offshore industry is undergoing dramatic change. At the Offshore Dialogue during SMM, experts will examine the new market environment.
T
he gold rush is deinitely over for the
time being. The offshore oil and gas industry is suffering massive losses due to
the dramatic price drop, and many exploration 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, including oil exploration in Alaska.
The Brazilian national oil company
Petrobras is cutting its investments until
2019 by 32 billion dollars. There are repercussions for shipowners as well: with
fewer projects requiring attention, many
offshore supply vessels are sitting idle. The
demand for new ships has declined accordingly: the Malaysian oil and gas company
Petronas, for instance, has recently postponed 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 megawatts 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 Energy Association (EWEA, now “WindEurope”),
therefore demands “clear goals and initiatives for the development of renewable energy after 2020”. A new guideline announced
by the EU commission might lend fresh impetus to such plans. It will not only beneit

manufacturers and developers, but also the
maritime industry: the Norwegian shipyard
Ulstein is building two service operation vessels for Siemens, which are to operate in the
Gemini and Sandbank/Dan Tysk wind farms
from the summer of 2016 and the 2016/2017
winter season, respectively. Thanks to an innovative hull shape, this new SX 175 vessel
type can operate under challenging weather
conditions. Its helipads further expand the
deployment options. The ships will be managed by Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement.
These and other notable projects will provide plenty of food for discussion at the Offshore Dialogue held during SMM, as well as
during the WindEnergy Hamburg trade fair
which will take place at Europe’s wind energy 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.

A new polar research vessel will soon be
built by Cammell Laird shipyard in Great
Britain. Steel cutting will begin in autumn
2016, and the ship is expected to be ready
for deployment in 2019. “This 200-millionpound investment secures the UK’s position as a world leader in polar research
and provides a major boost to shipbuilding in the North West,” said the British
Minister for Universities and Science,
Jo Johnson.
His German counterpart
Johanna Wanka has accepted the challenge: after probing the market, she re- 3,035
cently opened the tendering process for
the construction of Germany’s new polar
research and supply vessel “Polarstern”,
an attractive project which is expected to
be completed by 2020.

More power to women
The Maritime Career Market at SMM will bring employers and job seekers together. Increasingly, the industry
is seeking to recruit female professionals.

Chairperson: Encouraging women
to work in the maritime sector is a core
concern of WISTA. Dagmar Klenk
(small picture), Chairwoman of
WISTA Germany, is supporting
womens’ networks.
S
hipbuilders, suppliers and port operators 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 “permanent challenge”.
More power to women in the maritime
industry – that is one of the messages of
the SMM Maritime Career Market on 9 September. “Putting this issue expressly on the
agenda of this highly technical trade fair is
just the right signal,” says Dagmar Klenk,
Chairwoman of WISTA Germany. 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 international members visiting or exhibiting
at SMM trade fairs. A special highlight is
planned for this year’s fair: WISTA Germany will present a “Personality of the Year
2016” award at SMM. “With this award we
want to honour women who are role models 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 another important goal pursued by the Maritime 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 applicants are expressly invited to seize the
opportunity.
