Thoresen Shipping adds hybrid connectivity across fleet

Marlink said the integration includes software-defined application routeing (SD-WAN) involving Marlink’s XChange network management tool and end-point detection cyber protection.

The SD-WAN functionality enables cloud applications and remote operations at sea by ensuring guaranteed connectivity levels to run business and crew applications on a hybrid network solution.

XChange seamlessly fuses different networks – whether GEO, LEO or L-band backup – in a single, secure network with the highest uptime available and guaranteed global coverage.

It said Sealink NextGen would enable Thoresen Shipping to optimise its operations and improve customer support through enhanced application performance and network security. It will also enhance crew communications, and improve operational support, enabling collaborative workflows and remote access to shipboard systems.

Thoresen Shipping, with a presence in Dubai (UAE), London (UK) and Singapore, operates 24 fully owned Supramax and Ultramax bulk carriers deployed in trades that service clients with contracts of affreightment, period and spot charters in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
