Gold Coast, Australia – DAVCO^TM, manufacturer of advanced tender and personal watercraft management solutions, announced today it has entered into a strategic alliance with distributor Oceanpower Marine Systems to bring its military-grade heavy-duty hydraulic marine cranes across the Pacific and throughout Asia.

Since 2007, Oceanpower Marine Systems Limited has been an agent of world-renowned equipment manufacturers, specializing in supplying marine equipment and parts to shipbuilders, owners and management companies. In addition to supply, the Oceanpower team also provides post-sales services including commissioning, inspection and maintenance.

With four offices across Asia, Oceanpower Marine Systems will help bring DAVCO’s elite Australian engineering to the front lines of the region’s commercial and military sectors. The partnership has kicked off with haste, with five of the initial 11-crane order having already been delivered and currently operational on police patrol boats in the region.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Oceanpower Marine Systems to bring our proven marine cranes to Asia,” said George Geros, CEO, DAVCO. “The ability to reliably service and sell in a region as vast as Asia is a logistical marathon. With Oceanpower’s four regional hubs, DAVCO has effectively shortened the distance between their Australian factory and the end-user, ensuring that downtime is a thing of the past. Oceanpower is a heavyweight in the region and we’re confident that through their distribution channels DAVCO will become a name synonymous with high-quality and getting the job done right.”

“We are incredibly proud to join forces with DAVCO and introduce their world-class engineering to our extensive network in Asia,” said Ken Lam, MD of Oceanpower Marine Systems Limited. “Our clients in commercial and law enforcement, as well as the leisure segment demand equipment that thrives under the most rigorous conditions, and DAVCO’s solutions fit that profile perfectly. By combining their innovative manufacturing techniques with our established service hubs and technical expertise, we are ensuring that vessel owners across the region have immediate access to the industry’s most reliable tender management solutions.”
