Samson Maritime, the maritime support solutions company, has upped its sponsorship of the Fremantle Football Club from silver to gold-level partnership.

The company, which recently moved its head office to Fremantle, will back the Australian Rules Football club at that level for at least the next two years.

Company director Ben Ward pointed to the club's recent sponsorship agreement with Woodside Energy as a mark of its commercial strength. "We see this as further proof that Fremantle is a strong investment in this market heading into the next few years," he said. "Fremantle Football Club has proven to be an excellent way for us to achieve brand exposure and networking for our organisation."
