A new long-term agreement between Hoyer VMS Group and Kongsberg Maritime will support faster access to service and technical assistance within an agreed scope of markets, products and services. The cooperation reinforces Kongsberg Maritime’s role as a global OEM and technical authority, while enabling Hoyer VMS Group to provide authorised local service support where required.
Hoyer VMS Group and Kongsberg Maritime are strengthening their existing cooperation through a multi-year agreement. Hoyer VMS Group’s expanded authorised scope covers defined products and services within Propulsion and Handling, across agreed market segments and territories.
The parties expect the agreement to create further opportunities for cooperation in Propulsion and Handling service assignments, particularly where local support, specialist technical capability or additional capacity is required. The cooperation is intended to complement Kongsberg Maritime’s own service organization and does not alter Kongsberg Maritime’s position as OEM, technical authority and primary customer interface.
Within this scope, activities may include component replacement, overhauls and scheduled maintenance. The aim is to support customers with timely service execution while maintaining Kongsberg Maritime’s technical standards. .
- The two companies are a really good match, and we are incredibly pleased with the cooperation agreement we have entered into with Kongsberg Maritime. “The agreement formalises the role Hoyer VMS Group will perform within the agreed service scope.. We have a partnership based on a high degree of trust, and I am confident that the agreement will be of great benefit to all parties, says Kristian Kaasing Larsen, CCO Project Sales/Aftermarket, Hoyer VMS Group.
- For Kongsberg Maritime, the priority is to give customers reliable access to qualified support while maintaining the technical standards they expect from the OEM. Hoyer VMS Group adds local service capability and maritime expertise for selected assignments within the agreed scope, helping us respond flexibly where additional capacity is required,” says Anders Troels Skjoldborg, VP Partnerships – Global Customer Support at Kongsberg Maritime.
Flexible access to service capacity.
For instance, the agreement enables the companies to draw on each other’s capabilities on assignments during periods of peak demand or where local execution support is required. Kongsberg Maritime may then engage Hoyer VMS Group for specific service activities within the agreed scope, subject to relevant approvals and customer requirements.
Under the agreement, Hoyer VMS Group is an authorised service partner for Kongsberg Maritime for defined products and services within Propulsion and Handling, and within agreed market segments and territories.. As part of the agreement, Hoyer VMS Group may also sell selected original Kongsberg Maritime spare parts within the agreed scope, market segments and territories.
The agreement provides a framework for cooperation in several markets, including selected activities in China, USA and Brazil, subject to the authorized scope and applicable approvals. In Brazil, the two companies together employ around 200 staff, and Hoyer VMS Group has recently strengthened its local service organization.
