News: New sales director and new products at Martek Marine

Leading Rotherham company, Martek Marine has recently appointed Anthony Carter as their new sales director.

He will lead their international sales department into what promises to be exciting times ahead with the launch of a number of new products in the coming year.


The Manvers company is the world leader in safety and environmental monitoring equipment for commercial ships.

Anthony will be responsible for the future development, delivery and retention of the Martek sales revenue. He has already been active in moves to further strengthen a department that, in recent months, has seen the introduction of a number of new faces to deal with new products and services like Fastcalgas – the newly launched calibration gas supply service introduced exclusively for shipowners and managers.

Another new product set to launch this year is a bridge navigation watch and alarm system (BNWAS) called Navguard.

A BNWAS is designed to monitor bridge activity and detect any operator disability that could lead to shipping accidents. The system monitors the awareness of the Officer of the Watch (OOW) and automatically alerts other staff if for any reason, the OOW becomes incapable of performing duties through an accident, sickness or even a security breach such as piracy or hijacking.

Anthony has an impressive background in sales and business development in technical sales to heavy industry and the global electronics market spanning almost 20 years.

Anthony said: "Martek's well established market position, line up of current legislative products, new pipelined product introductions along with fantastic customer service underlines what is already a serious market proposition.

"I am thrilled to be joining a dynamic forward thinking business that has a truly innovative approach and I am delighted to be charged with driving this business forwards."
