Expansion
As from May 2006 Radio Holland is part of Imtech and has grown steadily over the past years. Radio Holland now has sixty branches all over the world along the most important waterways. Recently Radio Holland opened offices in Bergen (Norway), St. Catherines and Montreal in Canada and in Panama. Radio Holland also purchased the South African company Pertec S.A. and has now gained a leading position in the South African marine market.
Growing Turnover
The turnover of Radio Holland amounted to € 157 miljoen in 2005 and has increased over the past two years up to € 212 miljoen. Radio Holland Netherlands is the largest RH branch and realized turnover growth of nearly € 10 miljoen during the last years.
Managed Services Agreements
The order book worldwide is well filled and the so-called MSA’s (Managed Services Agreements) take up a growing part in this. When such an agreement is concluded Radio Holland takes the responsibility to keep the NavCom equipment on board operational. By outsourcing the complete process through an MSA, the ship owner gains efficiency. More and more ship owners are interested in this service.
