"Hydroid is so pleased to have the Directorate of Materiel Sustainment as an authorized service and support center in the Netherlands," said Maureen Kelly, customer service manager at Hydroid. "Since the first delivery of a REMUS system to the Netherlands in 2005, the Royal Netherlands Navy has worked with Hydroid Europe to set a goal of providing depot-level support. Through their investment in their facilities and training courses, the Royal Netherlands Navy has accomplished that. Having reviewed their maintenance capabilities firsthand, I am confident the Directorate shares Hydroid's commitment to product excellence and operational availability of equipment."
