Service partnerships in Busan, Vladivostok and China
NAVION supports equipment vendors, sub-dealers, ship agents and management companies in Busan and its ports, Vladivostok and China. Permanent local specialists are based in Busan and Vladivostok; work in China is arranged in advance.
Message us on TelegramWe work with two kinds of organisation. Equipment manufacturers and vendors need installation, commissioning and warranty support for vessels in Busan, Vladivostok and China. Sub-dealers, ship agents and management companies need a fault resolved within a vessel’s port call. NAVION supports both through permanent local specialists in Busan and Vladivostok and agreed attendance in China; commercial arrangements depend on the job.
What a partnership looks like in practice is usually simple: a service agreement or case-by-case referral, an agreed rate and parts arrangement, a named escalation contact on each side, and an agreed route for warranty claims. NAVION does not need exclusivity to be useful, and is equally willing to work behind another dealer's name where that is how the account is structured. Write to [email protected] with the equipment range and the coverage you need. If a vessel is already alongside and the job is live, send it to [email protected] so it is handled as a service request rather than correspondence.
What NAVION brings to a partnership
- Engineers trained on the systems you sell — Installation, commissioning and fault-finding on trawl sensor systems, sounders and sonars, plotting and navigation software, GMDSS and radio, satcom antennas and onboard IP networks.
- Work planned inside the port-call window — Jobs are planned around the vessel’s alongside time in Busan and its ports, Vladivostok and China. The berth, scope and available work window are confirmed before attendance.
- Russian, English and Korean on the same job — One account of the fault and the fix for your support desk, the Korean yard and a Russian-speaking crew, with no translation step in between.
- Written reports and photo documentation — Completed work is handed over with a written report and photographs of the installation, in a form that can be attached to a warranty claim or passed to the owner.
- Spares handling on the ground — Receiving, holding and fitting parts shipped for a named vessel, and returning failed units with the fault description and installation details attached.
- Local face for warranty jobs — Attendance, diagnosis and sign-off by permanent local specialists in Busan and Vladivostok on equipment sold from abroad. Warranty attendance in China is agreed separately.
- Permanent local specialists in Vladivostok — Our local specialists attend vessels in Vladivostok and support Russian owners and superintendents between port calls, in the owner’s own language.
What NAVION needs from a partner
- Technical documentation: manuals, wiring and interface data, service bulletins and firmware releases for the equipment we are asked to support.
- Training access, factory or remote, before NAVION is listed anywhere as a service point for a product.
- Parts supply terms: lead times, any stocking arrangement and a route for urgent shipments to the agreed port.
- Clear warranty terms: what is covered, what documentation closes a claim, and how labour and travel are treated.
- A named escalation contact who can be reached while a vessel is still alongside, not only in office hours.
- Notice of product changes that affect installed units, so a known issue is not diagnosed twice on the same fleet.

Frequently asked
Which brands is NAVION authorized for?
Marport, TimeZero and Olex. For other makers, work is done under a service agreement or case by case.
Can NAVION act as a warranty service point for equipment we sold into Korea?
Yes, subject to documentation, training access and agreed warranty terms. In practice that means NAVION attends the vessel, diagnoses the fault, carries out the repair or replacement and returns a written report with photographs that supports the claim, so the vendor does not fly an engineer to Busan.
How does a sub-dealer or agent hand a job over?
Send vessel name, the city, port and berth, ETA and ETD, equipment make and model, and the symptom, to [email protected]. The alongside window drives everything else, so ETD is the field that matters most.
