SRT Marine Systems commences new Middle East contract

Maritime tech group SRT Marine Systems has said it has kicked off a new maritime domain awareness contract worth $9m over a 10-year period.

The contract was first announced in November but has now been signed and started, SRT said on Friday.

The new work is for an existing Middle East coast guard customer, which is upgrading its systems to integrate more sensor systems and new functionalities.

The upgrade will bring together multiple command centres and ministries to integrate all of the customer's maritime data within a single secure platform, SRT said.

“We are delighted to have commenced this system upgrade with this long-standing and highly valued Coast Guard customer and look forward to many more years of business with them as they grow and enhance their national maritime surveillance and intelligence capabilities,” said chief executive Simon Tucker.
