after-sales service for port-use loading and unloading equipment, including container cranes and unloaders. MHI would look after global marketing and associated services through its vast global network. The company Anupam-MHI has arranged for 120,000 square metres of land at Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone (MPSEZ).

The company has already received orders from JNPT worth Rs 200 crore and Krishnapatnam port of worth Rs 135 crore.
amsung Heavy Industries, the world’s largest ship building yard has ordered electrical propulsion systems from STADT AS in Norway. Samsung has an increased focus on developing more sustainable propulsion technology for their ships. STADT enables the separation of power production from the propeller system. The LNG fed generators will operate with a rather steady load, quite independent of how much power used on the propeller. The propellers are driven by the robust STADT electric No-Loss drive system. No loss drive system has been made by STADT over a period of 10 years. The company has 25 years of experience within marine electro-technologic development. The company provides propeller systems from 100 KW up to 100 MW in many voltage classes from 220 V up to 15 kV. STADT system is not affected by electromagnetic interference, acoustic noise and vibrations. Explosions and failures have taken place in drives which have big DC capacitor systems inside the drives. In STADT STASCHO drives, DC capacitors are used temporarily.
