Avantis Group Signs a Strategic Partnership Agreement with AMS Docking Repairs (HK) Ltd

Avantis Group, a global leader in turn-key engineering solutions and regulatory compliance, proudly announces a strategic partnership with AMS Docking Repairs (HK) Ltd, a fully own and subsidiary of AMS International Group. This collaboration aims to strengthen Avantis Group’s presence in the Hong Kong maritime market, with a focus on green technology retrofits, alternative fuel conversions, and comprehensive marine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.

Hong Kong is a vital global maritime hub, renowned for its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and comprehensive maritime services. AMS, known for its excellence in drydocking repairs, conversion, harbour and voyage repairs and marine services, will now extend Avantis’ solutions to its clients in Hong Kong.

This partnership will offer Hong Kong shipowners and ship managers access to Avantis Group’s expertise in:

Green Technology Retrofits: Implementing state-of-the-art Energy Saving Device (ESD) technologies to upgrade existing vessels for improved energy efficiency and reduced emissions. These retrofits will help shipowners comply with international environmental standards and reduce operational costs.

Alternative Fuel Conversions: Converting vessels to operate on alternative fuels such as LNG and methanol, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable maritime operations.

In addition to green technology retrofits and alternative fuel conversions, Avantis Group will provide a full suite of MRO services to the Hong Kong maritime market.

“Partnering with AMS is a significant step in our strategy to enhance our presence in key maritime markets,” said Tom David, CEO at Avantis Group. “Their established reputation and deep understanding of the Hong Kong market make them an ideal partner to help us deliver our high-quality services to a broader audience.”

“We are thrilled to represent Avantis in Hong Kong,” said Clayton Yu, Founder of AMS International Group. “This collaboration will provide our clients with access to Avantis’ advanced technologies and solutions, enhancing their operational efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations.”

The deal with ICA is the latest in Avantis Group’s growth journey. In July 2024 the Wales-based company announced a strategic partnership with Industrial Coatings and Access (ICA) Australia. In June 2024 the company announced a strategic cooperation with T.J. Giavridis Marine Services, an organisation renowned for its comprehensive services for the shipping sector. This partnership is already providing enhanced support and services to Greek shipowners, strengthening their capabilities in repair, retrofits, and upgrades worldwide.

In May 2024 Avantis announced a strategic collaboration with Zamakona Yards aimed at enhancing yard stay solutions for the marine and drilling contracting industry. This partnership is redefining service offerings by combining Avantis’ engineering prowess with Zamakona’s state-of-the-art facilities, catering to the evolving needs of global clients.
