Stellar Marine Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Primary focus has always been to help fleet operators improve their
bottom line by increasing vessel fuel efficiency
Nanaimo, B.C. - November 25, 2001: -- Stellar
Marine today celebrated 20 years in the business of designing and manufacturing
propulsion control and vessel monitoring equipment for the marine industry.
"Our focus on innovation has really paid off," said Bob Speed, President of
Stellar Marine. "We initially developed and patented fuel measurement technology
to provide fleet operators with data to improve efficiency. Over the years, we
analyzed vast amounts of data, and realized that significant improvements in
vessel efficiency required the precision of computer control. This led to the
development of Speed Pilots, which combine accurate data with precision control,
to improve vessel efficiency."
Stellar Marine has systems for vessels ranging from towboats to the largest
high-speed container ships. Their products are in use in every ocean of the
world, including the Arctic. For more information on Stellar Marine products
