more efficient use of space within the vessel

The following text is a slightly longer version of the posted text, taken from the Hitachi website:

中・小型マリンギアの殆どに湿式多板油圧操作式のクラッチが採用されており、製品の小型化と容易な操作性を可能にすると同時に、スリッピングクラッチの広範囲な利用により船内の合理化と省エネルギー化を可能にしています。 (http://www.hitachi-nico.jp/technical/about_transmission/)

This specifically mentions 製品の小型化, so clearly in this case 船内の合理化 refers to the fact a smaller gearbox allows a more efficient use of space within the vessel.

streamline inside the ship

合理化 can be said in many different ways but I have seen "streamline" often to mean that. So I wanted to add my two-cents worth of input.
