Emden, Germany
Our home port. Planning, coordination and spare-part logistics for every attendance run from the old inner harbour.
About us
From Emden, for fleets worldwide
Smart solutions
Complex bridge systems, explained in plain language. We prepare the job before the technician boards, so time on board is spent on the equipment.
Transparent on board
A live service status goes out during every attendance — the client sees the outcome while the technician is still on board.
Sunship Electronic Services was founded in 2011 by the Sunship Group to gain more insight the happenings during an electronic services for navigation and communication equipment.
We created "Smart Maintenance Plans" for newer ships to extend the lifetime of the existing equipment on board and prepared "fly away kits" for remote crew services.
