Shandong DEXTER (DETD) Debuts New Wire Rope Maintenance Solution at Asia Pacific Maritime 2026, Singapore

From March 25 to 27, 2026, the 19th Asia Pacific Maritime (APM 2026) grandly kicked off at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. As the largest maritime event across the Asia Pacific region to date, the exhibition adopted the theme Future of Vessels, Solutions for Tomorrow. It gathered over 700 global exhibitors and nearly 27,000 professional visitors, focusing on core topics including maritime decarbonization, digital transformation and technological innovation. Serving as a key platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and connecting global resources in the maritime industry, the event welcomed Shandong DEXTER Environmental Development Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as DETD). The company presented its self-developed new wire rope maintenance solution at Booth D-R47. Highlighted by eco-friendly and intelligent advantages, DETD stood out prominently, fully demonstrating its technical strength and innovation capacity in the field of environmental protection supporting facilities for maritime applications.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province, DETD is a technology-based SME dedicated to the R&D and promotion of environmental protection technologies and maritime supporting equipment. With a registered capital of RMB 30 million, the company owns 25 patents and a full range of qualification certificates. Having focused deeply on vessel supporting systems and offshore engineering equipment for years, DETD has accumulated rich technical experience and practical project achievements. Its business scope covers sales of wire ropes and related products, electromechanical equipment maintenance, and R&D of offshore engineering equipment. Adhering to the mission of delivering efficient, eco-friendly and safe solutions for the maritime industry, the company continuously promotes green upgrading and technological innovation in maritime supporting sectors.

At this exhibition, the newly launched wire rope maintenance solution represents an innovative achievement developed in response to actual industry demands and based on DETD’s core R&D capabilities. It perfectly aligns with the exhibition’s focus on green, low-carbon, intelligent and efficient development, reflecting the company’s outstanding technological innovation strength. Breaking the limitations of traditional maintenance modes, the solution realizes full mechanical operation to replace manual work entirely during wire rope maintenance. It significantly improves operational safety, eliminates insufficient lubrication and grease waste, and creates a brand-new path for the industry’s green development.

The wire rope maintenance solution adopts a modular design, enabling online maintenance without disassembling wire ropes. It is applicable to wire ropes with diameters ranging from φ14mm to φ300mm. Equipped with independently designed degreasing and oiling systems, the solution greatly improves cleaning coverage and oiling uniformity, effectively extending the service life of wire ropes. Integrated with intelligent monitoring technology, optional modules can be configured to monitor wire rope operating status in real time as required, eliminating risks from high-altitude operations while ensuring both safety and convenience. It solves long-standing industry pain points in traditional maintenance, such as poor cleaning quality, serious environmental pollution and low working efficiency, and is widely applicable to wire rope maintenance for vessels, ports, offshore engineering and other scenarios.

During the exhibition, DETD’s booth attracted numerous maritime enterprises, industry experts and purchasers from home and abroad. On-site staff elaborated on the technical principles, core advantages and practical application cases of the solution, and demonstrated the operation process of maintenance equipment intuitively. Its outstanding performance in convenience, environmental protection and intelligence won high recognition and wide attention from professional audiences. Many participating enterprises expressed sincere cooperation intentions, laying a solid foundation for DETD to further expand international markets and deepen industrial cooperation, while greatly enhancing the company’s brand influence in the global maritime sector.

Dexter Zhang, Executive Director & General Manager of Shandong DETD, stated that Asia Pacific Maritime is the most influential international exchange platform in the region, offering excellent opportunities for enterprises to display innovative achievements and connect global resources. Participating in the exhibition with the new wire rope maintenance solution not only showcases the company’s technological advantages, but also marks an important step in expanding overseas markets and strengthening international cooperation. In the future, DETD will continue to focus on environmental protection technology and maritime supporting fields. Leveraging its patented technologies, the company will continuously optimize and upgrade maintenance solutions, promote in-depth integration of technological innovation and industrial application, and contribute DETD’s expertise to the green and sustainable development of the global maritime industry with premium products and services.

Hosted by RX Global, APM 2026 showcased innovative technologies in alternative fuels, electric & hybrid power systems, wind-assisted propulsion and other frontier fields. Meanwhile, nearly 100 professional forums were held, inviting global industry leaders to discuss future development trends of the maritime industry. Through this participation, DETD fully displayed its technological innovations and brand strength, connected high-quality global resources, further improved international visibility and influence, consolidated the foundation for overseas market expansion and international business cooperation, and injected strong momentum into the company’s long-term development.
