Beier Radio has announced its acquisition of Sentinel Control, expanding and strengthening its marine electronics product line and engineering, and support services for commercial vessels around the globe.
Sentinel designs and manufactures high-quality control and instrumentation products used for vessel management, steering, cargo loading and unloading, navigation light panels, shaft tachometers, engine controls, and thruster controls. Beier Radio is a supplier of dynamic positioning systems, incorporated into its IVCS2000 Integrated Vessel Control System. With the addition of Sentinel, Beier will now design, manufacture, sell, and service every component of the vessel control system from the wheelhouse to the rudders.
Following completion of the Sentinel acquisition, Beier plans to construct a new manufacturing and training facility adjacent to its service centre near Houma, Louisiana, an offshore support industry hub. The training facility will allow Beier to expand its current DP training programs, as well as training for operation of the Beier IVCS2000 Series Vessel Control System, IVMS2000 Series Vessel Management System, and other electronic communication and navigation systems.
