November 30, 2022 – Deltamarin Ltd has signed an agreement that names Texas-based GEM Marine LLC as its representative in the United States. Both companies are committed to decarbonizing the shipping and offshore energy sectors, and the cooperation maximizes the strengths of both.

Both Deltamarin and GEM Marine have been developing solutions that reduce the carbon footprint of shipping operations, which simultaneously increase safety and efficiency.
