Survitec Group Committed to South East Asia Market

Survitec Group will be highlighting its commitment to South East Asia's growing shipping and commercial marine market at this year's Sea Asia exhibition on the UK pavilion, stand S24G. With nearly 5000 customers in Asia, Survitec is a major supplier to the region's shipping companies, shipyards, offshore platforms, naval defence forces and airline operators.

In addition to its own sales, service and distribution centres in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Korea, Survitec has service agents operating in all the major ports, from the Sea of Japan through to the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Survitec supplies the region with all marine survival and safety equipment, from commercial liferafts and MES, to pyrotechnics, marine electronics, lifejackets, immersion suits, dry suits, personal rescue devices, rescue boats and fire fighting solutions. The company has a dedicated, world class rope stocking facility in Singapore also.

Sales of electronic navigation equipment into the Asian market have grown steadily in recent years. Survitec's range of class-leading products includes electronic chart display and information systems, GPS units, logs, echo-sounders, autopilots and wind display systems from major manufacturers like Jotron, Comnav, Teledyne TSS, Thrane, Walker Marine, PC Maritime and KANNAD.

Survitec's network of service stations service lifejackets, liferafts and immersion suits and provide inspection and testing services for lifeboats, davit systems and release hooks. Popular brands under the Survitec umbrella include RFD, Beaufort, DSB, DBC, Imperial, Elliott, SurvitecZodiac, EV, RFD Toyo and Crewsaver.

Ship owners throughout South East Asia benefit from Survitec's Global Services Liferaft Hire programme, which allows a customer to choose between service hire or liferaft exchange hire with the additional option of a fully managed service.
