GTT opens an office in Tokyo to deepen ties with Japan’s maritime community

GTT Marine, a subsidiary of the GTT Group specializing in advanced technologies and digital solutions for vessel performance, has announced the establishment of its office in Tokyo. The new office aims to enhance relationships with customers in the region, providing Japanese ship-owners and operators with dedicated expert support, performance intelligence, and reliable vessel data.

Japan, being one of the world's leading shipbuilding and ship-owning nations, presents a strategic market for GTT Marine, which already collaborates with several Japanese entities. Operating from the Yanmar Building in Tokyo, the team will support customers throughout the vessel lifecycle, from the installation and service of onboard systems like Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs) and Shaft Power Meters to performance analytics that translate vessel data into measurable fuel savings, reduced emissions, and compliance confidence.

The team comprises sales, customer success, and technical professionals committed to assisting customers and partners in enhancing performance and preparing for future challenges. Casper Jensen, Chief Executive Officer of GTT Marine, emphasized that customer proximity and a deep understanding of the local market are crucial in Japan.

The Tokyo office exemplifies the company's dedication to merging on-site expertise with technological innovation to deliver practical solutions grounded in reliable, actionable data. This strategic move aligns with GTT Marine's goal to become the maritime operating system of choice, assisting fleets in navigating the rising demands for performance and decarbonization.

Gary Garner, Sales Director of GTT Marine in Japan, expressed his pleasure at leading the new office. He highlighted the importance of trust and proven performance to Japanese operators, stating that the Tokyo office will empower the team to collaborate closely with owners, operators, and technical managers, converting fleet data into clear decisions and sustaining long-term improvements.

Garner underscored that engaging in customers' native time zone and language will be fundamental to their success.
