SMM Hamburg: meet YOT at the world's leading maritime trade fair

SMM in Hamburg is where commercial shipping decides what its next generation of onboard technology looks like. For a maritime IT distributor, it is the most concentrated week of the year.

Why SMM matters to us

SMM covers the full commercial maritime stack: shipbuilding, propulsion, marine equipment, and increasingly the digital layer that ties a modern vessel together. That digital layer is our business.

Onboard networking, hybrid connectivity, cybersecurity and remote management are no longer separate conversations from the vessel build. They are part of it, and they are specified at events like this.

What we will be talking about

Our focus in Hamburg is practical: what a compliant, maintainable onboard network actually looks like, and how to get it built and delivered without a shipyard delay.

  • Onboard network architecture for new builds and retrofits
  • Hybrid connectivity combining satellite, cellular and shore links
  • IMO and IACS UR E26 and E27 cyber resilience considerations
  • Pre-staged, rack-and-ship delivery into shipyard schedules
  • Vendor-independent design across Cisco, Peplink, Teltonika, Ubiquiti and more

How partnering with YOT helps at a build

Shipyard timelines punish surprises. We remove the ones that come from IT by assembling, configuring and testing the full network in our lab, then delivering it as a labelled, documented rack ready for connection.

That means your engineers spend yard time commissioning rather than unboxing, and the technical documentation the owner needs already exists when handover comes.

Arrange a meeting in Hamburg

If you are attending SMM and want to walk through a live project, a refit specification or a partnership, book a slot with our team before the show so we can prepare properly.
