Partnership aims to expand regional access to advanced vessel position reference technology for offshore operations, newbuild projects and fleet upgrades.
CAN Trader & Services Pte Ltd (“CAN Trader”), a Singapore-based marine electronics and systems integration company, today announced a partnership with Guidance Marine, a specialist provider of Dynamic Positioning (DP) position reference technology for the maritime and offshore industries.
The partnership brings together Guidance Marine’s position reference technology and CAN Trader’s regional market presence, technical expertise and established relationships across the maritime sector. The collaboration is intended to support offshore vessel owners, operators, shipyards and marine engineering companies with access to advanced DP position reference solutions.

- Newbuild projects: Supporting shipyards, vessel owners and marine engineering contractors with position reference solutions for new vessel construction.
- Fleet upgrades and retrofits: Identifying opportunities to modernise existing DP installations and meet evolving operational requirements.
- Offshore fleet support: Engaging vessel operators to address equipment lifecycle requirements, system reliability and long-term fleet standardisation.
- Technical and commercial engagement: Providing customers with a regional point of contact for product enquiries, project discussions and coordination with Guidance Marine.
The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to supporting the operational requirements of the offshore and maritime industries through reliable technology, technical engagement and responsive regional service.
