Marine Technik Hamburg

The Company

MTH was founded in July 2014. MTH is a team of highly skilled project managers, service technicians and design engineers, all of whom have been working in the shipbuilding industry for many years. Based on its team’s expertise and experience MTH’s intention is to be a reliable partner for turnkey services in the fields of HVAC, refrigeration and automation. The design and system integration work makes MTH a full turnkey contractor with very competent and responsible personnel. The present MTH personnel has been involved as the core team in a number of large scale modernisation projects for whole-ship HVAC contracts in the cruise ship as well as the yachting industry.

MTH is part of GTH (Gebaeude Technik Hamburg), a family-owned company providing technical and energy systems for buildings in the metropolitan area of Hamburg.

MTH’s Guiding Principles

We are a well-integrated team.
We have high standards of quality.
We strive for a long-term cooperation with our clients
We are a reliable and predictable partner for customers and suppliers.

Our Services

One of the foci of our work is in projects concerning the modernisation and refurbishment of cruise liners and private yachts. In the confines of these projects, whilst the vessel is in dry dock, or elsewhere, we perform all the appropriate services and jobs that have to do with the air-conditioning and ventilation technology on board. This applies to accommodation areas as well as machinery rooms. We execute these turnkey contracts reliably and punctually so that on day one after the completion of our work passengers again feel comfortable on board.

Our Key Proficiencies

MTH’s key proficiencies are design, engineering and project management. During the dry-dock time on site MTH’s scope of supply also includes site management, installation and commissioning of the complete HVAC system. The turn-key job may comprise ducting work, heavy steel, piping, electric installation and automation. Within this scope energy saving and environmental conservation are our top priorities. Of course, all of our HVAC upgrades are compliant with the applicable SOLAS regulations and the current energy and hygiene requirements of the relevant classification societies.

Neutrality

MTH is not an equipment manufacturer. We attach great importance to our neutrality and independency regarding product suppliers, which allows us to select the most appropriate and reasonable components according to the technical requirements of the respective project. In this way we are able to select component parts that incorporate the latest technology from different manufacturers and combine them optimally with each other. An adaption to the equipment already on board is, especially in the area of automation, similarly easily possible.
