The agreement is yet another step in GRSE’s broader push to forge global partnerships. The shipbuilder also continues to team up with international players to enhance its marine equipment capabilities.
In June 2025, GRSE signed two key agreements with:
- Berg Propulsion (Sweden) to upgrade propulsion systems for government marine projects.
