Kelvin Hughes and Zener Marine Expand Operations

The new products in the portfolio are paper and digital hydrographic charts and publications from Japan to the Baltic and Eastern USA along Panama with a concentration on Middle East coverage; technical publications from the UKHO, IMO, ITU, Witherbys, Seamanship and more; and the Weems & Plath range of quality nautical instruments available in Dubai for the first time.

Mr Martin Taylor, Managing Director of Kelvin Hughes' charts business said, "Dubai is a critical shipping location and the ability to support existing customers and the local shipping companies is vital to Kelvin Hughes' position as market leader. This is even more critical with the fast approaching IMO Mandation of ECDIS in the majority of the SOLAS fleet. Local support for this challenging changeover from paper to digital will be invaluable for all shipping companies involved. Zener Marine has been a very effective equipment distributor for us in this area and we are sure that they will be equally effective as a distributor of our chart products and services."

Zener Marine's General Manager Mr Ivan D‘Souza commented, "We are very happy to be expanding the current business relationship between Zener Marine and Kelvin Hughes and we believe the two companies history of innovative products combined with excellent local service will result in the best possible navigation solutions for our customers in the ever expanding UAE and regional shipping markets".
