Launch of the Schottel Academy

German manufacturer of propulsion systems Schottel has founded the Schottel Academy. Schottel directors launched the project during a ribbon cutting ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Spay/Rhine. “In view of steadily increasing requirements on marine propulsion and steering systems, their ability to communicate with other on-board systems, and ever greater complexity of shipyard operation, the instruction and training of personnel is becoming more important, as every system is only as good as the service, installation and operating personnel,” Ralf Wöllert, Service Director, said.
