5 Solemn: Opening of INMEX SMM India at the Bombay Exhibition Centre. Successful: More than 5,000 trade visitors attended the fair. INMEX SMM India 2019 underpins its position as South Asia’s leading maritime trade fair The 3rd edition of South Asia’s flagship fair INMEX SMM India was a full success for both, visitors and exhib- itors. 5,000-plus top-ranking industry visitors attended the event at the Bom- bay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai in early October. More than 260 exhibitors from 22 nations presented the latest trends and innovative products from all major segments of the maritime industry. At the end of the three action-packed days, the exhibitors were highly satisfied with the quality of the visitors. The trade fair f p a Z l e a h c M / C M H i i ; a d n I M M S ; e b u t u o Y / M M S : s o t o h P was accompanied by a first-rate con- ference programme addressing current topics. For example, the second, highly successful edition of the CIMAC Circle India examined technology solutions for more sustainable ship operations, among other items. Several networking events provided attendees with oppor- tunities for in-depth discussions and new contacts. Once again INMEX SMM India proved to be an ideal platform for maritime suppliers who wish to enter the South Asian market or expand their business relations across the region. A joint venture of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH and Informa Markets, the trade event takes place every odd year. The dates for the next INMEX SMM India are 11 to 13 October 2021 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai. Read more at: inmex-smm-india.com the technology in action.

After all, business deals are made be- tween people – with a handshake providing that crucial personal touch. Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH

7 understanding the needs of the industry OUTLOOK How do maritime companies assess their perspectives? What are the propulsion technologies of the future? Where will digitalisation have the strongest impact? The SMM Maritime Industry Report 2019 delivers answers. W here is the shipping industry heading? To find answers, Hamburg Messe und Con- gress GmbH again asked shipowners, shipbuild- ing companies and suppliers around the world to assess the current economic and technological developments, following up on the first survey conducted in 2017. Roughly 1,500 industry play- ers from around the world, mostly company exec- utives, took part in the new survey for the SMM Maritime Industry Report (MIR). This makes the SMM MIR 2019 one of the most comprehensive maritime industry surveys ever conducted. RETROFITS PREFERRED Companies are facing enormous challenges: First and foremost it is the tightened environmental regulations that require rapid action. The abandon- ment of high-sulphur fuel by most shipowners in response to the 2020 sulphur cap is just the first step. In the medium term the shipping industry’s CO2 footprint must be reduced substantially (refer to page 8). “The most urgent question facing the shipping industry today is what the fuel of the future will be,” says Ralf Nagel, Managing Board Member of the German Shipowners Association (VDR). According to the MIR, ship operators cur- rently prefer LNG (45 per cent) over all other ship fuels. This is especially true for cruise companies which are determined to live up to their environ- mental responsibility. According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the current global orderbook lists 26 LNG-powered vessels. “More and more companies are taking active measures to reduce emissions from ships,” says Dr Reinhard Lüken, Managing Director, German Shipbuilding and Ocean Industries Association (VSM). Hybrid solutions are also on the shortlist, f p a Z l e a h c M / C M H i : s o t o h P according to the SMM MIR. In particular, combinations of battery technology with marine diesel oil (MDO; 48 per cent) or LNG (39 per cent) are high up on ship- owners’ agendas. Both are suitable options to meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations. All in all, more than two thirds of responding shipowners say they must invest in their fleets in service to comply with the sulphur cap. Only 29 per cent intend to replace their tonnage with newbuilds. The general interest in building new ships is relatively low among owners: choice of fuel LNG has the highest single share, but MDO and HFO/MFO combined remain higher. Preference for MDO/LNG declined notably compared with last time.

It is a comprehensive study that reflects how SMM exhibitors and visitors assess the sector’s economic and technological development. The Maritime Industry Score summarises the economic expectations. The SMM MIR was conducted for the first time in 2017. This year’s study additionally covered aspects relating to ship interiors. The participant demographics reflect the full breadth of industry segments, with 62 per cent of respondents representing suppliers, 18 per cent shipowning companies, 13 per cent shipyards, and 7 per cent interior designers. Nearly one third of respondents are exhibitors at SMM, while the remainder are visitors. ents from shipping companies cannot imagine un- manned ships sailing the oceans in the near future. On the other hand, many see promising po- tential in increasing digitalisation, for example in the form of land-based fleet operation centres processing ship operation data. “New digital and propulsion technology developments help us man- age highly complex equipment, allowing us to op- erate the sophisticated organisms we call ships in a much more climate-friendly manner around the world,” says Martin Johannsmann, chairman of the board of the German Mechanical Engineering Indus- try Association (VDMA). Unsurprisingly, the share of respondents who believe that cyber security is a very important concern is as high as 83 per cent. HIGH INTEREST IN SHIP INTERIORS In view of the persistent boom of the cruise indus- try, this year’s SMM MIR survey included questions specifically addressing interior design and equip- ment for passenger ships. Approximately 40 per cent of participants in the study indicated a need for products and services related to ship interiors within the next 12 months. Shipyard executives in particular are highly interested in system suppliers offering turnkey solutions. In response to this grow- ing demand, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH arranged the Cruise & Ferry Route at SMM 2018, and dedicated an exclusive exhibition area just for marine interiors. The highly positive feedback re- ceived from exhibitors and visitors alike prompted the organisers of SMM to create a new trade fair: MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo. This industry fair, which will regularly take place in non-SMM years in the future, had its successful debut in September 2019 (see page 16). AN INDUSTRY IN MOTION Generally speaking, the SMM MIR provides fasci- nating insights into the mood across the industry, says Claus Ulrich Selbach, Business Unit Director – Maritime and Technology Fairs & Exhibitions at Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. “The mari- time industry is clearly undergoing a process of pro- found change that will be a prevailing topic in the discussions at SMM 2020 and the accompanying conferences,” says Selbach. Presenting innovative technologies and comprehensive expertise, the leading international maritime trade fair will defi- nitely give visitors the ingredients they need to tack- le the challenges of the future, as promised by the motto of SMM: “Driving the Maritime Transition”.

The industry stake- holders are fully aware of their responsibility; after all, the ship is the most important mode of transport in internation- al trade. “Environment protection and climate change are core concerns of the public, and it will be my priority to induce the shipping industry to accept this reality and deliver solutions that will fulfil the world’s environmental ex- pectations,” said the Turkish ship owner Şadan Kap- tanoğlu following her election as the new president of BIMCO. IDENTIFYING THE BEST CONCEPTS With its motto “SMM 2020 – Driving the Maritime Transition”, the leading international maritime trade fair directly addresses the massive changes the in- dustry is undergoing. From efficiency improvements to LNG fuel, battery technology and fuel cells through to synthetic fuels and power-to-X technology, “the race for the best concepts has just begun,” says Dr Uwe Lauber, Chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association – Marine Equipment and Sys- tems, VDMA. As CEO of MAN Energy Solutions SE, k c o t s r e t t u h S / s e n o A l : o t o h P BIMCO: The world’s largest shipowners asso- ciation represents roughly 1,900 members from more than 120 countries.

13 Award: “AIDAnova” was the first cruise ship ever to be awarded the “Blue Angel” german eco-label. Tribute: The world’s first LNG-powered 23,000 TEU con- tainer ship was named after CMA CGM founder Jacques Saadé. TEU, they will be among the world’s largest contain- er ships. LNG propulsion lowers CO2 emissions by 20 per cent, while emissions of sulphur and particu- late matter are eliminated almost entirely. The conversion to LNG propulsion of the 15,000 TEU container ship “Sajir” will cost $25– $30 million. The engine manufacturer MAN SE and the classification society DNV GL will be partners to the project. “We offer a fully integrated, com- plete solution. In addition to the conversion of the engine, this also includes the entire gas treatment system for supplying gas to the main engine, includ- ing the pilot oil module, and the auxiliary engines from MAN Cryo and a 300 bar high-pressure pump vaporator unit (VPU system) from MAN SE,” said Wayne Jones, Chief Sales Officer MAN SE. A po- tential technology of interest for large cargo ships, highly efficient Combined Gas and Steam Turbines (COGAS) have achieved efficiency levels in excess of 60 per cent in land-based installations. United European Car Carriers, an operator specialising in transporting motor vehicles, has recently exercised an option for a third newbuild with an LNG and battery hybrid power system on board. The new vessel, which will be built by Jiang- nan Shipyard Group, China, will enable the company to exceed the IMO goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 40 per cent by the year 2030: “When our third battery hybrid LNG PCTC is delivered in 2022, it ushers in a new era for short sea shipping in Eu- rope,” says Glenn Edvardsen, CEO of UECC. The energy transition at sea is progressing: The cruise ship “AIDAperla” will be able to oper- ate on electricity alone for up to 60 minutes at a time. 300 metres long, and offering space »We need alternative fuels that can be produced sustainably in a carbon- neutral way.« Alfred Hartmann, president of the German Shipowners’ Association (VDR) Refit: The Scandline hybrid ferry “Copenhagen” will be equipped with a rotor sail next year.

Flexible: bound4blue has developed a foldable and autonomous wingsail system to be fitted onto a wide range of vessels. Milestone: The 2017-retrofitted “Wes Amelie” will use liquefied synthetic natural gas produced from renewable electrical energy as drop-in fuel. Using fuel cells – a technology companies such as Meyer Werft and Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems are currently studying in depth – could achieve an even better environmental outcome. Fuel cells generate electricity directly from hydro- gen and can be used to power an electric motor. While the energy yield of current fuel cells is not sufficient to provide full propulsion pow- er for large ships, it is sufficient for the “ho- tel load”. But the development continues at high speed. The key question will be at what environ- mental cost the fuel can be produced. The name of the key technology is “Power-to-X”: It denotes fuels such as hydrogen or syn- thetic gases produced with the help of re- newable power. Methanol, methane and bio- diesel are other synthetic fuels scientists are studying. f p a Z l e a h c M i / C M H ; N A M ; ) 2 l ( e u B 4 d n u o B ; L G V N D / a m h s O i : o t o h P SMM: THE PLACE TO BE SMM 2020 will lend fresh impetus to these ef- forts. “Environment and climate protection are at the top of the maritime industry’s agenda. As the industry’s most important platform, SMM brings together all the key players. The manufacturer ex- hibits focus on innovative, practical solutions,” says Carin Steinbach, Deputy Project Direc- tor SMM. The conference programme held in parallel with the exhibition will likewise revolve around the energy transition. At the gmec, the global maritime environmental congress, various panel discussions featuring distinguished experts from around the world will examine a range of aspects of the general topic “green shipping”. “I am certain that after next year’s SMM many market stakeholders will have a better understanding of where the maritime transition is heading,” says Steinbach. 15 »As the industry’s most important platform, SMM brings together all the key players.

To date, shipowners have committed more than US$22 billion to the construction of state-of- the-art cruise ships fuelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). One of the pioneers is “AIDAnova” which will be testing the use of fuel cells as of 2021 as part of a research project called “Pa-X-ell2”. All in all, 26 additional LNG-powered ships are currently on order or under construction, including the two sister ships “Smeralda” and “Toscana” of Costa Crociere, another subsidiary of the global market leader Carnival. h c a b l e S h c i r l U s u a l C Look: The interior design on board “HANSEATIC nature” by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is inspired by ice floes, corals and lava crevasses. “The entire shipping industry benefits from the early adoption of innovative technologies by cruise lines – many of which did not exist five to ten years ago, such as exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), LNG as a fuel for passenger ships, and shore-side power capabilities,” says Michael Thamm, the Chair- man of CLIA Europe and Group CEO of Costa Group and Carnival Asia. NEW TRADE FAIR IN HAMBURG Designing passenger cabins and public areas on board to suit the preferences of specific markets: This was the core topic of the MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo which was held in paral- lel with the Seatrade Europe conference in Septem- ber 2019. “Finding so much expertise in the field of cruise ship interiors at a single trade fair is unique in Europe,” said Arjan Koole, Regional Sales Director at the kitchen equipment specialist Middleby Marine. Many of the same exhibitors will return to Hamburg to showcase their solutions in the ‘extended area’ of Marine Interiors@SMM 2020 or along the “Cruise & Ferry Route”, which was very popular at SMM 2018. 17 “HAMBURG IS A LEADER” The inaugural MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo, which focuses specifically on interior design and equipment for cruise ships, took place at Hamburg’s exhibition complex in September 2019. Claus Ulrich Selbach, Business Unit Director – Maritime and Technology Fairs & Exhibitions at HMC, summarises the experience: MR SELBACH, WHAT IS YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE DEBUT OF THE NEW TRADE FAIR? We are very pleased with the great response MARINE INTERIORS had among exhibitors and visitors. This event augments our portfolio by an exhibition that focuses on outfitting and interior design, both of which are key topics. The successful debut with more than 100 exhibitors and roughly 2,800 visitors underlines our role as a leader in the maritime segment, with SMM as our flagship trade fair. WHAT ASPECTS DID THE EXHIBITORS LIKE BEST? We got plenty of positive feedback regarding the atmosphere at the fair and the quality of visitors and new business contacts. The conference programme with top-ranking experts was very popular, as well. What is more, participants commended us on the efficiency of the event because it was held in parallel with Seatrade Europe right next door, another key event for the industry. WILL SHIP INTERIORS PLAY A ROLE AT SMM 2020, AS WELL? By all means! We believe marine interiors and related subjects are extremely important topics in the industry, which is why we provided an exclusive area for marine interiors companies at SMM 2018 and will expand that space for the 2020 fair. Through SMM and MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo we will be offering an industrial platform on an annual basis from now on so that stakeholders can stay informed about relevant innova- tions and continue strengthening their networks at both, the SMM in September 2020, and then again at the MARINE INTERIORS in September 2021. f p a Z l e a h c M i / V M H ; a w r y W i / s e s u r C d y o L - g a p a H l ; n e t u r g i t r u H i / p u r t s d B n e t s r a K ; s e s u r C i l a t s y r h C : o t o h P

Companies are constantly developing new, inno- vative CM applications. For example, the German transmission specialist Reintjes has developed a sys- tem that measures vibration to help avoid component damage or other unexpected incidents in gearboxes as early as possible. Meanwhile, autonomous shipping is slowly but surely picking up speed. One of the pioneer vessels is “Yara Birkeland”. This electrically-propelled, shores

AI is a technology that of- fers far-reaching potential to many industries,” says Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL – Maritime. AI will be on board “Mayflower”, an ambitious pilot project conducted jointly by IBM and the re- search Institute ProMare. A high-tech trimaran featuring an aluminium frame by Alutec as well as advanced navigation and sensor technology, the ship is expected to be the first autonomous vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean in September 2020. Artificial intelligence will also be at the top of the agenda of the next Maritime Future Summit during SMM 2020. At the conference, expert pres- entations and a final panel discussion will address these and other current developments. In a project exemplifying the use of an unmanned vessel for purposes other than transporting cargo, the US company Sea Machines Robotics recently presented the world’s first Autonomous Oil Spill Response Vessel which will be used to intervene in oil spills. It offers the advantage of avoiding ex- posure of crew members to hazards such as toxic vapours. SUPPORT FROM SPACE As the data volumes transmitted across global fleets continue to grow, ship operators depend on the availability of fast Internet access anywhere in the world. Major satellite operators are con- stantly upgrading their equipment. In 2018 Iridium launched the last of their new 66 Certus® series satellites into orbit. These high-powered units now provide full L frequency band coverage of all of Earth’s maritime surfaces. Next year Inmarsat will put the first of their sixth-generation I-6 satellites into space to significantly boost the performance and coverage of their L and KA-band services. Both providers will be at SMM 2020. In ad- dition, equipment suppliers such as Intellian and Glomex will exhibit communications hardware for maritime satellite transmission. MORE SPACE FOR 3D PRINTING It is fast, low-cost and flexible: Industrial 3D print- ing is the technology of the future. Also referred to as Additive Manufacturing, this technology builds up components layer by layer. It can process nearly any material. Maritime accessories from the small- est screw through to entire ship propellers can be custom-made using this technique, enabling just-in- time supply of spare parts that will greatly improve efficiency by increasing equipment availability. At the last SMM visitors were able to watch this process in the “Maritime 3D Printing Show Area”. At SMM 2020, an even larger amount of exhibition space will be dedicated to this innova- tive production technology. “Driving the Maritime Transition”, the motto of SMM 2020, alludes to digital solutions that will bring efficiency in the shipping industry to new levels. The world’s top suppliers will be present in Hamburg next September.

23 omprehensive expertise industry topics. 10 SEPTEMBER 2020 10/11 SEPTEMBER 2020 11 SEPTEMBER 2020 Offshore Dialogue Oceanic research, exploration of deep sea mineral resources, and energy production at high sea are activities requiring sophis- ticated offshore technology. Organised jointly with GMT, the German Association for Marine Technology, this conference will cover the entire range of related topics. “We are convinced that the offshore segment has and will continue to have a key role to play in the energy mix,” says Marc Becker, CEO of the wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa. An important reminder not only for Offshore Dialogue attendees: From 22 until 25 September, shortly after SMM 2020, WindEnergy Hamburg, the world’s biggest wind energy event, will take place at the Hamburg exhibition complex. smm-hamburg.com/od MS&D – International conference on maritime securi- ty and defence Safe shipping routes and the protection of the land-based port infrastructure are indispensable prerequisites for a healthy world trade. Coastguards and naval forces have the important task to mitigate conflicts in the maritime environment. Increasingly ships are confronted with asymmetric threat scenarios, such as ter- rorism or piracy. What is more, attacks directed against data integrity are occurring ever more frequently, making cyber security a major concern. At the MS&D, high ranking representatives of coastguards and navies will be joined by scientists and industry experts to investigate these is- sues. Numerous delegations from around the world will be attending this event, which is cohosted by the industry magazine NAVAL FORCES. Maritime Career Market One topic all executives in the mari- time sector are concerned about is a general shortage of skilled personnel. This is where the Maritime Career Market comes into play. As a platform for recruiters and jobseekers it is the right place to attract talent and highlight maritime job opportunities and careers. ”This is the fourth time our SMM Maritime Career Market pro- vides companies with access to poten- tial future employees, and jobseekers with fascinating insights into career opportunities in the maritime industry,” says Mandy Jordan, Project Manager Conferences at Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. The job fair also presents a wide array of information on training and education programmes. Job applicants will be able to have their application portfolios checked by hu- man resources professionals. Another feature that is likely to attract plenty of attention once again will be the ‘SMM Hackathon’, which was hosted by Bosch Rexroth in 2018. smm-hamburg.com/msd smm-hamburg.com/mcm Offshore Dialogue international conference on maritime security and defence Maritime Career Market
