GE unveiled its new GE Marine organization. GE Marine combines the cumulative expertise of several GE businesses. This new organization brings together GE's commercial and technological expertise in the marine sector from gas turbines and diesel engines to motors and generators, variable speed drives and drilling systems to automation and control systems and all the electrical equipment in between. GE Marine combines this with world-class system integration capabilities and a global infrastructure--including a wealth of training and service facilities--close to customers' operations. GE Marine builds on the foundations laid out by the GE Global Offshore Marine organization established in 2013 to provide integrated solutions to GE's offshore customers. GE Marine will provide dynamic positioning (DP) and vessel control systems to equip the next-generation platform supply vessels, currently under construction at the Detroit shipyard to the Brazilian shipbuilder Starnav Servicos Maritimos Ltda. These vessels, the first of which will be commissioned and will be put into operation by Starnav in 2015, will target fuel efficiencies as one of its primary aims.

GE Marine organization will be led by Tim Schweikert, VP, GE Marine.
