Who we are
Our mission is to enable the digital transformation of shipping. So you benefit from the most advanced and reliable ship automation solution on the market – now and in future.
Famous foundations
At maresystems we are proud of our famous past. Our pioneering present-day portfolio builds on the experience of C. Wilh. Stein Sohn GmbH, the original measuring device company founded in Hamburg in 1878. As long ago as the early 1960s, C. Wilh. Stein Sohn was pioneering unmanned ship’s operational engine monitoring systems and has since grown to become a leading manufacturer with more than 10,000 automation systems installed worldwide. In 2007, H.M. Stein Sohn GmbH Automation was taken over by INTERSCHALT maritime systems AG and in 2014, maresystems acquired Interschalt's automation business.
Pioneering present
The goal of our team of visionary and experienced engineers is to take commercial, megayacht and cruise shipping into the digital age. We employ efficient IT structures, AR-based remote guidance and intuitive operator-led visualization technology to deliver the most advanced automation system backed by first-class service and support.
Fast-track future
We’re already on a fast track to the technology of tomorrow’s world, e.g. maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS). With us you can be sure your vessels will be fit for the future in automated systems.
