“The interest by our marine customers in finding solutions that increase productivity and simultaneously offer sustainable operations has increased drastically,” explained Mikael Norin, Cavotec CEO. “The creation of an innovation center is an important step in building on Cavotec’s leading position in delivering what we call profitable sustainability for our customers. Locating our new center in the Netherlands will give us access to a maritime cluster that is home to many leading shipping lines and port terminal operators, and is full of highly talented individuals.”
The center will also host a support hub for the company’s turnkey solutions for Shore Power and MoorMaster, its automated mooring technology. “Our centers of excellence will continue to be responsible for the engineering and manufacturing for each product category,” added Norin. “By bringing together subject matter experts in complementary fields such as project management, civil engineering and project financing we will enhance our ability to offer integrated, turnkey solutions as well as new ‘as a Service’ (aaS) offerings.”
