AsiaLink and Marino Consulting Announce Strategic Partnership for New-Energy Vessel Solutions in South-Eastern Europe The agreement unites AsiaLink’s Greater China manufacturing network encompassing electric vessels, dredging equipment, and river craft with Marino Consulting’s naval architecture expertise and established commercial presence across Bulgaria, Romania, and the wider region. AsiaLink, operating under Ambrosia Holdings Limited, has entered into a strategic partnership with Marino Consulting Ltd. Marino Consulting is a Bulgaria-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm with an established presence across South-Eastern Europe. The partnership is structured around two areas of immediate commercial relevance to the region. The first is new-energy vessel technology. AsiaLink’s Asian manufacturing partners produce a portfolio of electric and alternative-propulsion vessels, including ferries, harbour craft, and port service vessels. These are directly aligned with the European Union’s maritime decarbonisation framework. The second is specialised vessel construction. The region’s extensive inland waterway infrastructure spans the Danube corridor and its tributaries across Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Ukraine. As a result, it generates sustained demand for dredges and river craft. Moreover, these vessels require both technical expertise and reliable manufacturing supply chains. AsiaLink’s partner network is positioned to address both. Marino Consulting brings deep knowledge of local regulatory environments to the partnership. In addition, the firm holds established relationships with shipowners and port operators across the Eastern Balkans. Furthermore, its naval architecture capability allows it to translate client requirements into technically sound and commercially viable vessel specifications. Together, the parties offer clients a path from initial design through to manufactured delivery. This is supported by in-market expertise and a trusted Greater China manufacturing network. “This partnership allows us to offer clients in the region something coherent and complete: technical design capability, in-market knowledge, and a manufacturing network that is ready to deliver. We see significant near-term opportunity across Bulgaria, Romania, and beyond.” — ASIALINK —
