Welcome to the Website of Schiffbautechnische Gesellschaft e. V.
The Schiffbautechnische Gesellschaft e.V. - STG - (The German Society for Maritime Technology) was founded 1899. The purpose of our Society, a non-profit-making organization, is to provide a forum for shipbuilders, shipowners, sub-suppliers, scientific persons and institutions connected with shipbuilding, to discuss and examine matters of a scientific, technical or practical nature, and to promote matters of interest to maritime technology as a whole. The conferences, and meetings of the STG, as well as assemblies of its committees cover a wide programme of lectures on the most recent developments and findings in theoretical science and practical work. At the same time, our meetings help the members to establish and maintain contacts with their colleagues. The STG has approximately 1500 members, natives and foreigners, about 130 of them are companies, organizations and authorities. Membership (Mitgliedschaft)
