On 6 November 2026, RMS and Honeywell Technologies officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at Honeywell Technologies’ exhibition booth during the China International Import Expo (CIIE), further strengthening their cooperation in the maritime sector.

Building on this partnership, RMS and Honeywell Technologies will combine their respective expertise in marine operations, engineering practices and industrial technologies to advance the development and application of green, digital and intelligent solutions for the maritime industry.

Four Key Areas of Cooperation

The two parties will focus on four key areas: marine measurement and control, engineering retrofits and lifecycle services, digitalisation and intelligent operations, and joint market development.

Their collaboration will explore the application of pressure, temperature, flow measurement, level measurement and gas detection technologies, as well as control systems, across vessels and marine equipment. They will also explore digital applications such as equipment condition monitoring, remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance and energy efficiency optimisation, helping shipowners and ship management companies improve equipment management and operational efficiency.

Combining Technological Expertise with Maritime Experience

As a global company specialising in automation, Honeywell Technologies brings extensive technological expertise in industrial measurement, sensing, control, automation and digitalisation. RMS, in turn, contributes its in-depth understanding of shipowners’ needs, practical marine engineering experience and international service network, providing support tailored to real-world vessel operations.

The two parties have already established cooperation in areas including gas detection, industrial measurement, control and electrical products, and marine spare parts. Their collaboration is now evolving from product and spare parts cooperation towards the joint development of integrated solutions.

Joint Development of Marine Environmental Treatment Solutions

As part of their ongoing collaboration, the two parties are currently working together on a solution for marine environmental treatment equipment.

Driven by actual vessel operational requirements, the initiative brings together RMS's expertise in marine applications and engineering practices with Honeywell Technologies' strengths in control technologies. Through this collaboration, the two parties aim to develop an integrated solution, gaining practical experience in jointly defining requirements, developing solutions and exploring market opportunities.

Further opportunities are also being explored in areas such as marine gas detection, liquid level measurement systems for LNG carriers, and digital lifecycle management of equipment.

Backed by Professional Engineering Teams and Spare Parts Support

Over the years, RMS's Technical Services Division has built up extensive project experience addressing the operational environments and application requirements of vessels. Its service capabilities cover key marine technical areas, including diesel engines, marine automation, hydraulic systems and refrigeration equipment.

The division currently has a team of more than 200 professionals, with qualified engineers accounting for over half of its workforce, supported by more than 5,000 m² of standardised spare parts warehouse space. These resources provide essential personnel and spare parts support for vessel repairs, system retrofits and ongoing technical services.

Looking ahead, RMS will continue to uphold its mission, "Make Your Voyage Simpler and Safer", and work alongside Honeywell Technologies and other industry partners to promote the application and innovation of industrial technologies in the maritime sector. Together, the two parties will explore opportunities in domestic and international markets and deliver more professional, intelligent and sustainable maritime service solutions to customers worldwide.
