Recently, Amarcon closed an important deal with Technava S.A., a Greek company that represents first class marine equipment manufacturers from all over the world. Founded in 1968, Technava is one of the leading companies in the supply, installation and service of equipment on board all types of ships. In the closed deal Technava is appointed for the sales of OCTOPUS products in the Greek and Cypriot market. Amarcon is the creator of OCTOPUS, a suite of hardware and software products that form a unique solution for the improvement of safety and efficiency for ships and other floating structures operating at sea. Managing director of Amarcon, Leon Adegeest, looks forward to a prosperous collaboration with Greek agent Technava. “Working together with Technava is a logical step for our company. It is a good opportunity for Amarcon to explore the Greek and Cypriot market, while we profit from specific knowledge and the contacts from Technava in the Greek and Cypriot region.”
In the current maritime industry the focus on green shipping and EEOI guidelines is becoming more important to ship-owners. Leon Adegeest explains: “Technava is an ideal partner for us when it comes to getting the message across to Greek shipping companies that our OCTOPUS products help reducing the fuel bill, and just as important, harmful emissions.” He also sees benefits for Greek ship-owners that charter their ships. “With the installation of OCTOPUS-Onboard, the vessel will be less exposed to severe conditions, leading to a far better hull condition at the end of the chartered period. Another concern for a ship owner is the Dry docking period that has be to be faced every five years. With less stress to the hull, fewer steel plates on the hull have to be replaced during dry docking. With less exposure to extreme conditions and fewer repairs to the hull, a noteworthy life time extension of the vessel is secured.”
Amarcon will be exhibiting at CMA Shipping 2011 Stamford USA, 21, 22, 23 March 2011: Booth 56. For more information about Amarcon or Technava, please visit www.amarcon.com or www.technava.gr.
