May 2023

Bulk carrier operator and investor Hanzevast Shipping BV and Dutch maritime IT and SatCom infrastructure provider Castor Marine have completed the renewal of all onboard IT communications systems on Hanzevast's Hanze Gdansk, Hanze Gendt, Hanze Genua and Hanze Göteborg. All four ships are now fully up to par, with the crew being supported by Castor Marine's Service Desk

Hanzevast Shipping contracts Castor Marine for complete renewal of fleet IT-communications infrastructure

Hanzevast Shipping operates 4 Handysize bulk carriers, each double-hulled, 35.000 DWT vessels with four 30-ton cranes and a Green Passport. In addition, Hanzevast has chartered the OSV Noordhoek Pathfinder to N-Sea Group. This is a max. 40 persons, 62m support and maintenance vessel for North Sea Offshore Wind installations.

The master of the Hanze Gendt comments: "In a positive way, the system really does make a difference. Consider troubleshooting, for example: we now don't need an IT person actually having to come onboard to fix problems. That is handled remotely and saves a lot of time. I feel we're in good hands with Castor Marine."
