Maritime Partner has won its first contracts with Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority. The contracts include delivery of a brand new design , Alusafe 1600 Security Patrol and Rescue Boat, various training of personnel and a spare part package.

Maritime Partner was founded in 1994. In 1999 the company acquired the well-known brands Alusafe, Seabear and Weedo, continuing the tradition of these fine boats. Adding these brands to its existing Springer range gave the company a very large range of models. In 2010 they moved into the new facilities, in Breivika, approximately 10 kilometers from the company’s old office. The new premises include a 2 500 square meters production plant, holding the best solutions in regards to lighting, air and heating. The production halls have two separate overhead travelling cranes; one 2×10 T and one 2×5 T with 8 meters lifting height.
