It has always been important for SCHOTTEL to exhibit at SMM, the international maritime industry meeting place. This is where our customers come, and it offers the opportunity to make new contacts and initiate business deals. We very much value discussions with other experts on the challenges and opportunities in the industry, such as sustainability and digitalization.

The SMM Expo brings together key people in the marine industry and gives us a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with leaders, owners, yards, designers, competitors, suppliers and many more to progress the most important topics close to my heart– including decarbonisation, future fuels and innovative technologies to drive efficiency and sustainability. Every two years an extremely busy SMM puts Hamburg at the centre of the maritime world, we’re looking forward to being there in September 2024.
