Van Aalst Marine & Offshore BV, the leading Dutch Bulk Handling Systems specialist, has recently expanded its agency network into Korea and Turkey, said in a press release.
In order to cope with the worldwide increasing interest in its range of bulk handling solutions for (mobile) offshore drilling units, offshore support vessels and cement carriers, in both areas locally well established companies have been appointed.
In Korea, Utopia Korea Ltd, headed by Mr. Sam Sung R. Lee, will mainly focus on the bulk handling and drill cuttings systems on board newbuild drill ships, jack-ups and semi-submersibles, as marketed under the CargoMaxx brand. Multiple application hull integrated tanks, create flexibility and increased cargo capacity on board.
In Turkey, Atlantis Marine Services Ltd, headed by Mr. A. Caner Ararat, will mainly focus on liquid & dry bulk handling systems on board Platform Supply Vessels (PSV), Anchor Handling Tugs Supply and self-discharging cement carriers.
“With the first CargoMaxx MT6015 design PSV being delivered in Korea later this year, from Shinan Heavy Industries and the recent award of the conversion of the cement carrier MV Sider Vivara at a Turkish yard for repeat client Italcementi/Romeo Shipping of Napoli, the moment at which Sam and Caner, both highly appreciated industry veterans and their esteemed companies, join the Van Aalst network, is well timed”, states Wijnand van Aalst, managing director of Van Aalst Marine & Offshore. “We wish them lots of success in their marketing efforts and look forward to a fruitful, long lasting cooperation.”
