Europe Marine Control (EMC)

Europe Marine Control (EMC) was founded in the 1980’s when shipbuilding was going through turbulent times. The company was set up by electrical engineers with broad and deep experience in shipboard installations. The experience ranges from design right through to operation which offers distinct advantages.

Introduction

At the time the company was formed, ship- yards were reducing staff and were being forced to return to their core business. The costs of retaining specialised electrical workshops and installation personnel were a huge burden that was previously accepted as an essential part of the total shipbuilding process. In many cases shipyards closed and traditional skills were lost in communities where once mighty and historic ships had been built. Generations had toiled there with great pride, under arduous conditions. This left the field of electrical engineering and project management open to new parties and, indeed, to a complete rethink. EMC’s founders recognised this and set about providing specialist services of this nature to ship owners and shipyards. Under EMC supervision some complex and state-of-the-art ships were successfully completed and a new company was born.

Understanding the shipbuilding culture

Today, EMC is recognised as a reliable partner for providing electrical products and services to the offshore shipbuilding industry. Although the basic philosophy of providing electrical-engineering services to shipbuilders and shipyards has not changed, the company has adjusted and aligned itself to match the latest shipbuilding practices.

Flexibility

The necessity, and inherent ability, to remain flexible and adjust to ongoing changes and developments in the market is a key element in the success of the company. To ensure improved cost awareness and quicker solutions, EMC divided the company into three separate business units. Each unit concentrates on a particular sector of electrical engineering. In this way EMC is able to provide a completely integrated package without overlooking essential details which might reduce the overall performance or delay completion.
