At this year's APM in Singapore, we were able to learn that the cooperation between HOPPE SINGAPORE and URECON Automation, which has been in place for a year, is perceived very positively by ship owners and ship managers. This has now also been made clear by the many positive comments from customers about the Hoppe Onboard Service at Asia Pacific Maritime (APM). Dai Xiyue and Wilfred Rachan, Managing Directors at URECON and HOPPE SINGAPORE, had many visitors at the booth of both companies and were thus able to highlight the joint service offering well. To further strengthen the service level, the Hoppe SGP and URECON Automation team will be at Hoppe's headquarters in Hamburg later this month for annual training and certification.We are continuously working on expanding our service team and spare parts availability to ensure a fast and reliable response to requests from ship owners and managers.
