Marorka and SDARI Sign Partnership Agreement for Bunker-Saving Performance Management Tech
Marorka today announced that it has signed an agreement with Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI), which will see the two parties work together to promote maritime energy and performance management, improve sustainable business development, and develop a smart ship concept intended to boost competitiveness of China's shipbuilding and shipping enterprises.
The partnership is intended to offer integrated optimisations and automation solutions to improve cost savings, and increase efficiency and safety onboard all types of vessels.
The agreement was signed by Hu Jin Tao, President of SDARI, and Juergen Kudritzki, CEO of Marorka.
"It is my pleasure to announce that this partnership with Marorka will add significant value to the development of more fuel-efficient vessels with data driven energy management and operational performance," said Hu.
"This will enable our customers to reduce fuel consumption with a very short payback time for the system, improve the environmental foot print by cutting emissions and optimize fleet performance giving significant financial savings and improved safety."
Last year, Marorka and SMDERI signed an agreement to cooperate on the promotion of maritime energy management in order to enhance the "green competitiveness" of Chinese shipping.
