Finnish company Valmet has opened a new office in Miami, Florida, to strengthen its local presence and improve its services for the global marine industry.
John Weierud, Director, Marine Automation, Valmet, said: “Out of the many Valmet offices in the USA, this new one is solely dedicated to serving our marine customers. Miami is an ideal location for the office as it is home to the world’s largest cruising companies, and many of their ships are equipped with Valmet’s advanced marine automation solutions. Our marine customers now have better access to our automation experts’ know-how as well as our cybersecurity, turbine automation and emission control solutions.”
Valmet Marine Services handles the company’s marine emission control – including exhaust gas scrubbers – and marine automation products. The product range is designed to improve vessel operation, including optimised performance and operation, safety, reduced emissions plus high availability and reliability. Valmet says it now offers a one-stop shop for marine services and improves value by combining its technology, process and control system know-how. With cybersecurity playing an increasingly important role in the marine industry, Valmet provides cruise ships with a comprehensive range of cybersecurity services. These include regular automation system security audits, continuous security updates, patch management and training for personnel.
