Netwave acquires Rutter Inc.’s Voyage Data Recorder Division

Parties concluded agreements whereby NetWave, also a manufacturer of VDRs for seagoing vessels and offshore installations, will manufacture Rutter™ VDR-100G3 systems as well as support and service all earlier models of Rutter ™ VDRs on a world-wide basis. After a transition period, during which Rutter Inc. will continue to manufacture the current VDR-100G3 product line for NetWave, NetWave will be manufacturing this product line from their manufacturing locations in Europe.

To accommodate the Rutter™ VDR related sales & service responsibilities with immediate effect, NetWave has expanded its 24/7 customer service department in the Netherlands, from where it will continue to provide support, training and certification activities, including those required for all existing Rutter™ VDR products and the new (formerly Rutter) VDR-100 G3 products manufactured by NetWave. Spare Parts for both brands will continue to be readily available from distributors and NetWave locations in Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston.
