HAV Group to acquire Norwegian autonomy and DP services supplier
Norway based HAV Group has reached an agreement to acquire a Norwegian dynamic positioning (DP) systems supplier, Undheim Systems AS. The planned acquisition will accelerate Norwegian Electric Systems’ (NES) plans to offer digital functionality that meets the global maritime market’s needs for decision support tools and autonomous ship operations.
“NES already provides digital decision support systems to vessels in order to cut operating expenditure and emissions to air. By adding DP capabilities to our product portfolio, we will be able to provide an even more complete data-driven and digital offering for cost-efficient vessel operations. Moreover, we obtain an important building block to help make safe and reliable autonomous sailing capabilities a reality,” says Siv Remøy-Vangen, managing director of NES.
Undheim Systems is a supplier of software and system design for dynamic positioning (DP) operations. Undheim Systems has delivered its DP systems to approximately 60 vessels, which include fishing vessels, workboats and service vessels in the fish farming industry, and others. The company has a solid order backlog for its DP product, JPOS.
