Copenhagen, 14 November 2024– Vessel Performance Solutions ApS, a subsidiary of Ascenz Marorka, GTT Group’s smart shipping arm, has announced that Harren Group, a family-run shipping conglomerate with a unique network of maritime project activities, has selected VESPER as their performance management platform for 30 vessels of their fleet.

VESPER, Vessel Performance Solutions’ advanced performance management platform, enables comprehensive monitoring through data processing and automated reporting.
