Nothing but the best for your passengers

The safety and comfort of your passengers are important to you. And to us. Because only satisfied guests come again.

Onboard comfort involves many things, not the least of which is an advanced diesel-electric drive system. One that makes ship operations particularly comfortable and provides distinct advantages in terms of economy, quietness, and environmental compatibility.

And, if the system is from Siemens, then you can be sure that it's especially safe. In guaranteeing excellent availability through redundant subsystems, we equip each drive unit with its own open-loop and closed-loop controller. Moreover, we take the time and effort needed to keep your onboard network "clean" by minimizing undesirable phase effects in the drive.

Standard components, well-proven in everyday use, make our systems particularly reliable.

And standard drive/automation interfaces do the rest for operating convenience. Not to overlook the fact that we assume system responsibility for the entire facility.

That's why a growing number of shipowners and operators place their trust in our technological capability, including P&O, DFO and the Washington State Ferries Corporation.
