Splash247: NACOS Marine expands in Finland with Groke Technologies integration

Published by Splash247

Norwegian maritime technology company NACOS Marine has expanded its presence in the Nordic maritime sector through the integration of Finnish specialist Groke Technologies into its operations.

The Turku-based company will now operate under the name NACOS Marine Finland Oy, strengthening NACOS Marine’s footprint in Finland as the company pushes deeper into bridge, automation and navigation technologies.

The move also brings Groke’s vision-assist technology into the NACOS Marine portfolio under a new product line called NACOS Vision Assist.

Thomas Heldarskard-Winnerskjold, chief executive of NACOS Marine, said the acquisition forms part of the company’s ambition to broaden its maritime technology offering.

“Finland has a proud maritime heritage and exceptional engineering talent, and NACOS Marine Finland represents our commitment to investing in both,” he said. “We look forward to introducing NACOS Vision Assist to the global market later this year.”

Groke Technologies has focused on advanced situational awareness and vision-assist systems designed to improve vessel navigation and operational safety.
