The e-Navigation specialist NAVTOR has opened a new office in Gdansk, Poland, adding to its software development network in Houston, St Petersburg and Egersund in Norway.
‘It’s always been our vision to take the enhanced efficiency, safety, transparency and control we bring to clients through our e-Navigation innovations and translate that into a broader, integrated smart shipping solution,’ said NAVTOR CEO Tor Svanes.
‘Earlier this year, when we launched fleet management application NavFleet and acquired Houston’s Tres Solutions, we announced our arrival into the performance optimisation arena. This is an area where we see huge potential – for both ourselves and our clients – utilising our unique digital ecosystem, which seamlessly connects ships, shore and entire organisations, to unlock the power of data and drive better business decision making.
He continued: ‘The move into Poland should be seen in that context: creating a world class development team to deliver world class, integrated and truly transformative solutions.’
NAVTOR has appointed maritime software engineer Jacek Maszota to lead the new office as Country Manager and he will now begin the process of building a team of developers.
The Polish team will focus on the development and implementation of cloud solutions (based on the Microsoft Azure service) and AI-enhanced monitoring and decision support tools.
