Its move into Singapore, followed by another office opening in Japan in September 2015, demonstrates its ambition to take that success worldwide. “We’ve been very encouraged by the impact our products and services have made on the Asian market - comments Tor Svanes, NAVTOR CEO - In a relatively short space of time our Singapore office, headed by Jennifer Lee, formerly the UKHO’s Account Manager for ADMIRALTY Nautical Products and Services, Asia Pacific, has driven awareness of both the brand and the unique benefits of our technology. “As a result we’ve decided to expand our workforce in Singapore, with Lawrence Yeow as our first new recruit. Lawrence joins as Area Sales Manager and has extensive experience of providing charts and publications in the region. We believe his expertise will be invaluable for industry players looking for simple, efficient and cost effective ENC distribution solutions.” Børge Hetland, NAVTOR Sales Director, adds: “Our position in Europe is now well-established and we see Singapore as key to our on-going development. The Asian market is sophisticated and diverse, and our products really chime with shipowners that are open to the potential of e-navigation”.
