Commercial Maritime
Delivering Fast, Reliable Broadband Connectivity to Vessels at Sea
Providing seamless, reliable broadband connectivity that improves efficiency and profitability for the commercial maritime industry.
Enabling Digital Transformation in the Commercial Maritime Industry
As the commercial maritime industry embraces digitalisation, connectivity at sea has become a necessity. However, current marine communication can be as inflexible and uncertain as the sea itself.
Our Commercial Maritime offering helps the world's leading maritime service providers guide their customers through digital transformations. We provide bandwidth that can power the new generation of applications and services, helping streamline operations while reducing costs.
Approx. 1.6 million seafarers are working on merchant ships worldwide, and they spent between 2 - 4 hours online per day
Crew communication can represent as much as 80% of the communication traffic onboard a merchant vessel
Hundred gigabits of data are consumed monthly on a VSAT vessel, with the volume doubling every 12-18 months
Providing Managed Data to Power Maritime Connectivity
Powered by our expansive fleet of high-throughput and wide-beam satellites, our Skala Global Platform ground system, and enhanced with a broad portfolio of capabilities delivered by our service provider partners, our Commercial Maritime offering enables ships of all sizes to capitalise on exceptional maritime connectivity.
We will provide your customers with the network services they need to enhance their profitability and keep their crew safe and satisfied, no matter the type of vessel or destination.
