MISSION

We strive to deliver the solutions best suited to each client, combining technical expertise, digitalisation and responsive support with the shortest possible turnaround time.

VISION

To be a globally trusted and preferred ship service company, providing holistic and comprehensive solutions across the maritime industry — with safety, security and prosperity at the heart of everything we do.

WHERE SAFETY, COMPLIANCE & UPTIME MEET.

The maritime industry demands precision at every level. From navigation and communication to safety equipment, hazardous materials and digital systems, we support the technologies and services that keep vessels moving.

REALITY 01

REGULATION IS ACCELERATING

PFOS foam has been prohibited since January 2026. CO₂ is now a mandatory pre-entry parameter. IHM must be maintained for the life of every EU-trading vessel. The rules arrive faster than crews can absorb them.

REALITY 02

FRAGMENTATION COSTS MONEY

Separate vendors for navigation, safety, calibration and compliance mean more purchase orders, more gaps, and no single party accountable for the whole vessel.

REALITY 03

PROOF, NOT PAPERWORK

When inspectors, oil majors, and buyers all want proof, paper slows you down and leaves gaps. Move your certificates, inspections, & maintenance logs into one verifiable digital record, so nothing is lost, nothing is questioned, & everything holds up under audit.

INNOVATION IS IN OUR DNA.

We combine global understanding, domain expertise and technology to respond to changing maritime needs — while building long-term partnerships founded on integrity and shared value.

CUSTOMER COMMITMENT

We build relationships that create meaningful, lasting value for our customers.

QUALITY

We deliver outstanding products and services that create premium value.

INTEGRITY

We uphold the highest standards of integrity in everything we do.

TEAMWORK

Hubs in five countries, genuine spares stocked near your regular ports, and delivery on your schedule.

DR. VIVEK PREMANADHAN

He heads SENSYN, the business he founded within Synergy Marine Group to bring inline oil condition monitoring to the maritime and onshore sectors. Its flagship product, LOTUS, gives engineers live insight into lubrication health without manual sampling or waiting days for lab results. The system is already deployed across commercial shipping fleets and is expanding into other industries.

Before SENSYN, Vivek co-founded and led Dravam Pte Ltd in Singapore as CEO. There, he built real-time fuel quality monitoring systems for large-scale marine and industrial operations. He holds a PhD and a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, where his research on multiphase and heavy-oil pipeline flows earned an NUS Research Scholarship and led to several publications.
