Fisheries tech company Zunibal acquires Zong Hong Marine

Satellite buoy supplier Zunibal has acquired Taiwan's Zong Hong Marine, which specialises in satellite communications services.

The operation involves the creation of Zunibal Asia, with a new headquarters in Taiwan covering the Asian market.

"Over the past few years, Zunibal has worked closely with Zong Hong Marine, identifying clear strategic synergies between the two companies," said Zunibal.

"The acquisition significantly reinforces its technological offering in satellite communications, strengthens its global operational capacity and allows it to offer more agile solutions and specifically adapted to each market, in line with its strategic vision of driving innovation and sustainability in the fishing sector."

The operational integration of Zong Hong Marine within Zunibal will begin immediately, with the official launch of Zunibal Asia scheduled for the second quarter of 2025.

Asian customers will have direct access to the technology developed by Zunibal, such as monitoring systems based on artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to optimise the management of fishing fleets.
