Imtech adds 24/7 Global Control Centre to service provision

Imtech Marine has expanded the breadth of its offering to the marine sector with the establishment of a Global Control Centre to follow vessels remotely 24/7. This competence centre, manned from Rotterdam, Houston (USA) and Singapore, can follow shipping movements globally and enables Imtech to provide actual 24/7 services in all time zones across the world. The digital platform offers customers the possibility of accessing vessel data while vessels are underway.

Explaining the function of the new control centre Imtech's CEO, René van der Bruggen said:

"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. 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 number of these services branches has expanded considerably in 2012 including new offices in Brazil, Spain, Scotland, Belgium, the USA (there are now 17 service branches there), China and along the west coast of Africa (including Nigeria, Angola, Ghana, Congo, Gabon and Kenya). Imtech is also able to provide marine services along the entire African west coast.

A services site was also opened recently in St Petersburg in Russia, bringing the global service network to almost one hundred branches. In addition to marine services, these new branches enable other technical solutions to be offered.
