As part of the distributor agreement, Unique Group’s Sharjah office will offer Caris’ full range of Ping-to-Chart hydrographic software solutions to customers within the region.
The CARIS Ping-to-Chart software solutions include HIPS and SIPS, Bathy DataBASE (BDB), Hydrographic Production Database (HPD), Caris Onboard, S-57 Composer and Paper Chart Composer among others, the company said.
Niels Nijhuis , account manager at Teledyne CARIS said, “We’re pleased to appoint Unique Group as a distributor of our hydrographic charting software solutions in Nigeria and Kenya. Both coastal countries are significant to the hydrographic charting industry, and so, this is a strategic move for Teledyne Caris to establish market presence there. We have a fruitful association with Unique Group for the Middle East region currently, so it was logical for us to partner with them for newer territories in Africa. ”
