l\/V M\fM * [ pr> '98 to launch a new engine for the output range of 1,500 to 3,060 kW, designed as a medium-speed engine in the 720 to 800 rpm range for use as both generator and engine. It will be presented as a complete eight-cylinder generator set at SMM.

Siemens is a true global supplier of a variety of engineered solutions to the maritime markets. Siemens is a complete outfitter which com- bines single pieces of equipment into an overall system, and by ana- lyzing interfaces and removing weak points, makes it more com- s patible and reliable. The key to the company's success is in the depth and experience it offers on the electrical and electronics prod- ucts side, as well as its depth of technical experience in and out of the maritime market. The compa- ny can supply most any technolog- ical shipboard need, including: sys- tems allowing for unattended engine room operation; power dis- tribution; drives; power generation and conversion; and marine elec- trical technology. The company's diesel-electric propulsion systems are designed for technical and operational superiority, and the

Simar Drive system is capable of delivering impressive returns in terms of economy, price and perfor- mance.

Another well-tested German maritime solution emanated many years ago from Voith Schneider

Marine Technology. The compa- ny's success with its unique propulsion units has and contin- ues to be driven largely by the steadily improving awareness of the need for higher safety of navi- gation in the world's waterways, said Eli Shaprut of Voith

Schneider America Inc. Mr.

Shaprut also cites the fear of the mounting costs associated with accidents (and accident insurance) as a driving force in the continual improvement of the cycloidal Voith

Schneider Propulsion System.

German marine suppliers have been, much like their colleagues around the globe, under tremen- dous pressure to reduce price while maintaining quality.

ZF Marine Group's Peter

Herring notes that the aggressive competition and the development of new products has helped ZF to continually upgrade and develop its own product line. The compa- ny, which anticipates a 10 percent leap in business this coming year, has a full-plate of recent develop- ments including: BW 365, a 2,400 hp/2,300 rpm unit for pleasure craft and fast ferries; BW 361, a 1,500 hp 1,800 rpm unit for work- boats; and BV 5300, a 10,000 hp 1,000 rpm unit for fast ferries.

Dieselmotorenwerk Rostock — which is a licensor of MAN B&W and Wartsila NSD — found that pressure for the yards has tremen- dously impacted pricing, but not so much, perhaps, as what a company representative terms as price dumping activities of South Korea.

Maerkisches Werk of Halver cites ever mounting competition and the overall development of the transportation market as a force in driving it to reach historic heights in terms of productivity.

Supplying a wide array of propul- sion components, MWH continues to succeed in increasing its capaci- ties while keeping prices low.
