UK marine electrical engineering firm SeaKing is ramping up overseas cooperation after forming a strategic partnership with Finnish oil technology firm Valmet.
Valmet has entered into a partnership with SeaKing Electrical, which has seen the Birkenhead firm named as an official distributor for Valmet's automation services to the maritime industry in the UK.
SeaKing's role will involve a professional first-line response operation providing engineers to install and maintain Valmet's automation systems. The company will also support Valmet with supply chain management, leading teams of subcontractors and coordinating projects.
"By joining forces with SeaKing Electrical, we will be in a better position to participate in marine automation projects both in the new build and retrofit business in the UK market," said Valmet Marine Automation director John Weierud.
