Germany-based maritime software provider Hanseaticsoft has opened an office in Singapore to provide improved Asian shipping services to companies.
The opening of the office is part of the company’s plan to step up its expansion and introduce its Cloud-based ship management platform, Cloud Fleet Manager (CFM), to the region.
Hanseaticsoft noted that its decision to open an office in Singapore is driven by the country’s reputation in the fields of maritime shipping, technology and innovation.
Hanseaticsoft managing director Alexander Buchmann said: “Cloud technology is the big game changer of the 21st century.
“It is supporting the digital transformation of the shipping industry, streamlining business and management processes and leading to greater efficiencies and increased profitability.
“We’re looking forward to travelling around the region and meeting prospects to talk about the exciting potential of new technologies in the maritime business.”
