Finnish firm says deals are focused on extending the company's fuel-saving technology and analytic solutions.



Eniram Limited, the Finnish provider of energy management technology to the shipping industry, has announced partnerships with Korean companies Hyundai e-Marine, a leading provider of onboard electronic systems, and World Ocean, an experienced agent representing a number of leading international brands in the Korean maritime sector.

These new partnerships with Hyundai e-Marine and World Ocean, local centers of maritime excellence, present a perfect opportunity to further our commitment to supporting clients looking to introduce energy saving solutions into their shipping operations to achieve greater cost control.”

I believe that Eniram’s solutions are the best fit for our slogan ‘e-navigation & smartship pioneer’ and that they are able to provide cost-effective navigation to our customers.”
