SEA looks to Japanese shipbuilding programmes
Cohort company SEA has taken part in a UK Defence Services Industry Day in Tokyo as it targets opportunities within Japanese shipbuilding programmes.
On board the Royal Navy’s HMS Albion, SEA showcased its range of launcher systems, above and below the water communications, echo sounders, training and simulation and its thin line KraitArray towed anti-submarine warfare sonar.
Paul Parsons, international business development, SEA, said: ‘There are major naval shipbuilding programmes underway and, although Japan has an established indigenous capability, we believe that our technology can enhance that and fill some existing gaps.
‘This was an excellent opportunity for us to accelerate our knowledge and understanding of the market, whilst promoting our pedigree on the back of a UK Royal Navy ship.’
SEA is already an established supplier in the Asian market with programmes for torpedo launcher systems for the Royal Thai Navy, Royal Malaysian Navy and Philippines Navy.
