“Having our innovative and proprietary technology retrofitted into more than 1,000 vessels currently in operation places us in an ideal position for long-term success and market leadership.”
The company has secured contracts from Hyundai to develop smart-ship solutions, including voyage optimisation, engine status monitoring and remote supervision for its new-build vessels.
