Ship Integration

Ships are among the most complex results of human engineering, they operate under extreme environmental conditions and their failure can lead to the loss of human life and a significant impact on the environment. The Ship Integration department therefore set the following goals:

• ships can be optimally integrated into transport chains, making transport systems more sustainable and economical overall. This also includes the transport of new, CO2-free energy sources via lakes and rivers
• Integrating innovative technical solutions, particularly in the energy sector, into the function and space of the overall ship system in such a way that the ship can be built and operated in an environmentally friendly, safe and efficient manner
• To develop knowledge, methods and processes that will enable the industry to design, build, maintain and repair ships with increasingly complex requirements in the future, to convert them and to recycle them at the end of their lives
