Eric van den Adel, Managing Director of Imtech Marine says: “In January of this year, we announced our new company strategy up to 2015. This modular concept for Offshore Support Vessels fits perfectly into our strategy, which is focused on delivering real added value and solutions as well as excellent services to our customers. From the perspective of Imtech Marine the key success factor is the seamless integration of all chosen technologies into the vessel and the support and maintenance during the full life cycle, wherever the ship operates. As supplier independent specialist in the field of system integration with a service network covering 73 locations in 23 countries, Imtech Marine is the right partner to work with.”
Life cycle partnership
By focusing on the life cycle of the ship, and linking its knowledge of the new building phase (design and engineering) with the operational phase (maintenance), Imtech Marine is able to create smart solutions and advise customers how to optimise operating costs over the vessels entire life span. Imtech aims to provide efficient solutions according to the customer’s requirements, while minimising the risks. This starts with an early involvement in the conceptual ship’s design. The knowledge of the vessel’s functionality is used to create an optimal interface between the ship’s processes and the technology.
