How is Recovery of the Maritime Industry Key to Growth of Marine Shaft Power Meter Manufacturers?

Despite facing difficulties due to the onset of COVID-19, the maritime industry has started recovering with the commencement of vaccination and the world getting back to the new normal. Marine shaft power meters are extensively used in maritime for enhanced equipment maintenance, fuel saving, and measurement of crucial real-time parameters.

According to a report titled “Global Marine Trends 2030- Society of Maritime Industries”, published by the Maritime Industries Organization, three sectors will exhibit hegemony in the maritime industry-

• Commercial shipping, fleet ownership, and shipbuilding
• Naval sector
• Offshore energy

As per the report, the volume of seaborne trade will exhibit promising growth and will reach somewhere between 19 and 24 billion tonnes by 2030, while China will play a key role as an emerging maritime superpower in shipping. This, in turn, will favor the manufacturers of marine shaft power meters over the coming years.

What are the Key Challenges Faced by Marine Shaft Power Meter Manufacturers?

Development of marine shaft power meters requires costly raw materials, labor, and expert knowledge and handling. Additionally, the process cycle to manufacture high safety marine shaft power meters itself is expensive and time-consuming. As maintenance of marine shaft power meters often acts as an overhead, this come in the way of their wider adoption.

Also, manufacturing hubs got affected due to the financial crisis and shortage of labor and raw materials during lockdowns. While the industry is bouncing back at a slow but steady pace, the impact is likely to last for some time.
