“In the marine market, Imtech is working towards strategic growth in its services and maintenance activities and a strong expansion of the number of services branches along important shipping routes,” said René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech.
“Imtech now has the most extensive global service network in the marine market. These services branches focused previously on navigation and communications technology, but now offer Imtech's entire marine services package, leading to cross-selling and further growth.”
“The new orders are good evidence of this. A new development is following vessels remotely, 24/7. This offers Imtech numerous new possibilities.”
The 24/7 remark relates to Imtech's newly established Global Control Centre, which offers continuous remote support and maintenance to vessels at sea.
The data created by this competence centre, manned from Rotterdam, Houston and Singapore, also provides further opportunities for application in business intelligence and data management areas.
A digital platform allows users to access vessel data while vessels are underway. Imtech says that, in the future it will also be possible to integrate this data with vessel movement data in ports.
