Shiptec is internationally recognised for its modern solutions in shipbuilding and in ship (system) technology. Specialities of the Shiptec innovation team are electric and hybrid energy and propulsion drive systems, commuter ferries configured for specific applications or the digitalisation and networking of all systems on board and on shore (Digital Ship).
An interdisciplinary team made up of naval architects, mechanical engineers, electric engineers and automation engineers develops advanced concepts and solutions for ship technology. As a pioneer of modern energy and drive technologies, we make an important contribution to the gradual changeover to emission-free inland vessels with modern drive technologies.
People often underestimate the complexity involved in shipbuilding. With our many years of experience in project management and the right technical resources, we implement demanding new build and renovation projects within defined framework conditions.
Availability and operational readiness are extremely important for ships in professional operation. We help ensure this availability with our comprehensive service and support options.
Shiptec AG installed new engines for the MS Panta Rhei for the Lake Zürich Navigation Company (Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft AG).
Starting point
The MS Panta Rhei, the flagship of the ZSG, needed new diesel engines after around 10 years of service. The call for tenders for the new engines was international and Shiptec was awarded the contract.
Goals
We carried out the engineering, project management and actual modification for the ZSG. The project started with the planning phase in September 2018 and was completed with the trial run in April 2019.
Challenges
The real challenge was the tight timeline and the coordination of the various trades. Thanks to our extensive experience, the project was completed on schedule.

Despite the tight schedule, Shiptec delivered on time.
