WHY MARCOM TRADE

Why vessels choose MarCom Trade

01

More than twenty years on the same coast.

MarCom Trade has operated from Alexandria since 2003, with company principals working in the marine electronics field since 1993. That continuity means spares, drawings and service history for equipment installed a decade ago are still on file.

02

Class-authorized, not just class-familiar.

MarCom Trade's engineers are certified by IACS member societies including DNV, Lloyd's Register, RINA and ABS, which allows the company to perform authorized radio surveys rather than only prepare a vessel for someone else's survey.

03

Manufacturer-approved for VDR performance testing.

MarCom Trade holds Annual Performance Test approvals from Danelec, Netwave, Rutter and Headway, and carries out gyro compass overhauls in its own workshop.
