Recently, Highlander's marine solid-state radar product seminar was successfully held in Nanjing. The event brought together shipping industry leaders, shipowner representatives and channel partners in Nanjing for in-depth exchanges on technological
innovation, real-vessel application and full-lifecycle service support for domestically developed marine solid-state radar, jointly exploring new approaches to the localization and upgrading of ship navigation perception equipment.
The seminar was marked by a warm atmosphere, as colleagues from across the shipping industry took time from their busy schedules to join the gathering and discuss the future of shipping safety and equipment development.
Leadership Address: Original Aspiration and Vision
At the opening of the event, Mr. Chen Yuanfa, General Manager of Highlander's Marine Products Division, took the stage to deliver an address. Drawing on the current state of the shipping industry, he shared the R&D foundation Highlander has built through years of deep engagement in the marine communication and navigation field, and expressed the company's original aspiration and vision of serving the domestic market and safeguarding vessel navigation safety with reliable, domestically produced equipment.
Technical Deep Dive: Hard-Core Capabilities
In the technical session, Dr. Shen Wei, Dean of the Highlander Radar Research Institute, gave a dedicated presentation. Addressing the practical concerns of the industry — radar echo performance, hands-on operating experience and the retrofitting of equipment on older vessels — he systematically unpacked the technical characteristics, distinctive functions and field application cases of marine solid-state radar, giving guests an intuitive sense of the hard-core capabilities of domestically produced solid-state radar. A live Q&A session followed the presentation. Guests raised their hands enthusiastically and put forward numerous practical questions on technical parameters, retrofit solutions and performance under complex sea conditions, which the technical team answered one by one in detail.

Voice of Shipowners: Feedback from the Front Line
After a short tea break, the event continued. The seminar specially invited frontline shipowner representatives to share their practical experience. Mr. Ding Chao, Technical Manager of China Merchants Nanjing Tanker Corporation, and Mr. Wu Yecheng of Nanjing Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. offered valuable frontline feedback from the perspectives of vessel operation and maintenance management and the actual use of communication and navigation equipment, providing important reference for product iteration and optimization. To demonstrate the real-vessel application of Highlander's solid-state radar直观ly, Ms. Zhu Qiuxia, Sales Director, connected live with Captain Feng of the M.V. Changhang 001, which was underway at sea, and presented the radar's on-board operating conditions on site, allowing guests to genuinely appreciate the product's practical value in vessel operations.
Service Support: Worry-Free Throughout
Good equipment also demands reliable service. Mr. Yang Haifeng of Highlander's service company gave a complete introduction to the full-process service system supporting Highlander's own products, covering the entire chain from equipment installation and commissioning, routine maintenance and rapid fault response to spare parts support, dispelling shipowners' concerns about after-sales operation and maintenance. During the service Q&A session, guests communicated fully on after-sales contact channels, maintenance cycles and other issues, and exchanged contact details for further follow-up with the Highlander service team.
A Successful Conclusion: Heading for the Deep Blue Together
From technical principles and real-vessel cases to customer feedback and service support, the seminar presented a complete picture of the capabilities of Highlander's marine solid-state radar. Vessel navigation safety depends on reliable navigation perception equipment. Highlander's marine solid-state radar focuses on the industry's pain points and is committed to solving the problems of numerous wear parts in traditional radar, the difficulty of identifying small targets in harsh sea conditions, and high operation and maintenance costs, helping shipping companies achieve both safer navigation and lower costs with higher efficiency.
At the end of the seminar, all guests moved to the photo area for a group photograph. The Nanjing seminar drew to a successful close in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, followed by an evening appreciation banquet.

Looking ahead, Highlander will continue to listen to the real needs of shipowners and shipping companies, refine product performance, improve its service network, and drive high-quality development of the shipping industry with independent and controllable domestically produced navigation perception equipment. We look forward to working hand in hand with more industry partners on the voyage to the deep blue!
