RINA expands its digital scope

Denmark-headquartered Logimatic Solutions, with a turnover of about €6m, has been wholly acquired by RINA. The acquisition places the business in a stronger position in northern Europe, to complement its already strong position in the South of the continent.

Ugo Salerno, CEO of RINA, said: “The Logimatic Solutions business is a perfect fit for us, as it complements our technical offer of digital applications and improves our market positioning in terms of geographic proximity to our customer base.”

The move will add the Logimatic-developed SERTICA to RINA’s portfolio of maritime offerings, while INEXTIA, FOTODOK and RENOMATIC will complement RINA’s businesses in the energy and industry sectors.

SERTICA is a powerful fleet management solution, which integrates a wide range of functions, modules and features for all areas of maritime business, incorporates fleet maintenance, procurement management and HSQE modules to provide deeper insights into fleet operations, enabling effective monitoring, control and cost savings.

Salerno added: “The SERTICA Fleet Management Software has an excellent reputation and is already installed on over 1400 vessels worldwide. It extends our capabilities and is a powerful and beneficial addition to the tools we already provide to our customers in the maritime industry.”

Logimatic Solutions will be integrated within the RINA Group and its nearly 50 employees will continue in the current structure from its offices in Denmark, Singapore and Chile.
