Honeywell becomes an official distributor of the FuelTrax marine fuel management system.



Nautical Control Solutions (NCS) has announced that France-based Honeywell Marine Solutions has become an official distributor of its FuelTrax marine fuel management system.

This combination provides a world-class solution at a time the industry needs every advantage it can get.”
