Eniram Establishes Norwegian Presence

Eniram Ltd., provider of dynamic decision support systems for the shipping industry, today announced the establishment of a new country office in Norway, supported by a new local distribution and deployment service agreement with the Norwegian Frydenbo Power AS. The new distributor is a well known supplier of equipment and services for the shipping Industry in Norway. Frydenbo Power cooperates with LEHMANN & MICHELS GmbH (Lemag), German specialists in the production of technical measuring instruments for large engines and distributors of Eniram’s products in the German market.

The new Eniram office in Oslo, Norway is headed by Finn-Arne Rognstad, appointed Country Manager Norway. He is a Norwegian maritime industry veteran with a strong track record in sales and marketing in companies including Aker Yards and Rolls-Royce Marine.

Eniram seeks to establish a strong presence in Norway, one of the leading maritime marketplaces in the world. Norwegian controlled tonnage is the fifth largest in the world (in deadweight tonnes, Jan 1, 2007). The Norwegian maritime industry is also in the forefront of environmental measures at seas, supported by government-backed innovation programs and tax incentives for environmentally-friendly initiatives. With the new office and strong partner, Eniram extends the local deployment and support capabilities for its flagship product, the Dynamic Trimming Assistant (DTA), designed to increase performance and decrease emissions of seagoing vessels.

Eniram DTA helps vessel officers optimize trim at all times, minimizing water resistance, decreasing fuel consumption, and reducing emissions. The system continuously collects and displays real-time data of the vessel attitude, allowing timely action in changing circumstances. The key metrics are brought to vessel officers in an easy-to-read graphic form, to facilitate faster and better informed decision-making. The DTA has already been deployed in production use in a number of vessels around the world, with customers including world’s leading cruise brands such as Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL).
