Hoppe Marine buys Rolls-Royce’s Intering business

Intering, acquired by Rolls-Royce in 2001, specialises in motion control systems including U-tank systems for roll damping, blower anti-heeling systems and pump-based anti-heeling systems. Hoppe Marine claims that the acquisition means that it can now offer the broadest range of specialised anti-heeling and passive role-damping systems under the brands Intering, Flume and Hoppe.
Marc Rohde, managing director and shareholder of Hoppe Marine GmbH, stated: “We are delighted to announce the agreement with Rolls-Royce. With the acquisition of Intering, Hoppe Marine can further consolidate and expand its leading-edge competence on the field of anti-heeling and passive roll damping solutions, a sector which is of key importance for safe and efficient cargo and passenger shipping, but also for navy and coast guard ships as well as for safe working conditions on offshore vessels.”
