Anschütz has teamed up with NavCom Team, experts in marine navigation and communication technology, to provide refit solutions at MB92 Barcelona.

MB92 Barcelona is a division of the MB92 Group and a global reference for the provision of refit, repair and maintenance solutions for superyachts of up to 200 metres in length. Its service centre is located in the heart of one of the world's leading destinations and a growing superyacht hub: Barcelona. The partnership between the three parties will enable MB92 to further enhance its range of on-site support services for superyachts in the Mediterranean.

“We are very pleased to enter into this cooperation with NavCom Team to provide services at MB92”, said Philip Kankelfitz, Head of the Integrated Bridge Systems business unit at Anschütz. “Together with our partners, we are creating a smooth refit solution that customers can rely on. Our proven navigation systems lay the foundation for sustainable, reliable and comfortable-to-use bridge systems with intelligent functionality and long-term compliance.”

Anschütz’s superyacht integrated bridge systems are ideal for retrofit solutions. Based on standardised and easily integrated components for navigation and steering, an intelligent bridge integration platform and modular application functions, they enable sustainable, safe and efficient bridge operations.

Ongoing development and technical support ensure the availability of customer-specific updates and upgrades, as well as the ability to meet future requirements and comply with upcoming standards.

“We have been enjoying a long-term working relationship with Jaime Sánchez and NavCom Team, sharing their commitment to continuously enhance the services offered to clients. This latest agreement with Anschütz greatly enhances the options available at our Barcelona shipyard and reinforces the city’s status as a global superyacht destination”, said Giovanni Marré, MB92 Group Procurement Manager.

“As the NavCom Team, we have proven in many joint projects with Anschütz and MB92 that we can implement smart, efficient and sustainable refit solutions reliably, in a short time and with the highest quality. As part of our long-term cooperation, we rely on proven navigation systems from Anschütz to keep our customers' bridges up to date. The best proof of our success is the great satisfaction of our customers worldwide”, said Jaime Sánchez, NavCom Team Director.
