A Northrop Grumman subsidiary will continue to provide marine electronics and related support to Carisbrooke Shipping following a renewal of their contract.
The agreement calls for Northrop’s Sperry Marine unit to supply navigation, communications and data recording systems for 23 bulk carriers operated by the U.K-based shipping firm, Northrop said Thursday.
“It ensures Carisbrooke will be supported by our global service network, regional distribution centers, service depots and repair workshops to ensure prompt and efficient service,” said John Fletcher, global service manager at Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine.
Sperry Marine has provided the Carisbrooke Shipping vessels with gyrocompass technology, speed logs, electronic chart display and information systems, radars and autopilot platforms.
