In order to offer customers in the Mediterranean region, even better service in their new build and refit projects as well as in ongoing operations, Anschütz has appointed its long-standing partner NavCom Team, as the new Centre of Excellence for Navigation in the region.
“Over the past years, we have developed a very successful cooperation with NavCom Team in the megayacht business,” said Tobias Grunwald, Business Development Manager for Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS) at Anschütz. “NavCom Team brings a deep understanding of the specifics and needs of megayachts and has outstanding technical customer service skills that we want to leverage, to ensure our customers have a smooth ride with our navigation systems at all times.”
Anschütz has trained NavCom Team
The NavCom Team engineers, have undergone intensive technical training at Anschütz over the last few years. Their skills include project planning, system engineering, integration, and commissioning of bridge systems as well as crew training, maintenance and repair work on board.
In addition to newbuilds, the cooperation will also focus on modernising existing bridge systems on megayachts, in order to provide customers with sustainable, safe, state-of-the-art navigation system.
As part of the collaboration as a centre of excellence for navigation, plans are underway to establish a comprehensive demonstration and training centre for Anschütz IBS on the NavCom team’s premises.
