SKF launches interactive maritime platform

December 2016 News

Over the past few years, the maritime industry has undergone a transformation, which shows no signs of slowing down. To help customers and people interested in the maritime industry to stay up to speed with the latest industry news and provide technical insights and advice, SKF has launched Engineering at Sea, a brand new online interactive platform. Topics are focused on innovations, safety, green technology, engineering practice and industry news.

It delivers regular news articles, interviews, opinion columns, videos, blogs, and more, which can help shipbuilders and shipping companies tackle the operational challenges of minimising operating costs, improving energy efficiency and increasing availability, all while complying with ever stricter regulations.

Readers can actively participate with comments and ideas, join conversations and have direct contact with the experts on the discussed topics. Whether the readers are engineers, ship owners, crew members, or simply someone with an interest in the marine industry, Engineering at Sea offers value insights.
