Ignazio Messina deploys emergency communications on container ships

Telemar, a Marlink subsidiary, will also be responsible for remote support and maintaining radio and navigation equipment on the containers ships’ bridges. This includes radar, ECDIS, conning, workstations and radiocommunications appliances. These contracts will consolidate the servicing of critical bridge navigation equipment to a single provider.

Telemar said this would save time and manpower and reduce the risk of non-compliance, as scheduled services would be planned to agreed timeframes rather than carried out on an ‘ad hoc’ basis.

It will provide Ignazio Messina with proactive remote and inperson support for bridge electronics and communications equipment, reducing potential downtime and increasing efficiency, as it expects a higher percentage of first-time issue fixes.

Telemar anticipates it would streamline troubleshooting and use operational data to deliver further efficiencies through managing repairs remotely instead of sending field engineers to container ships.

Riviera’s Maritime Decarbonisation, Europe: Conference, Awards & Exhibition 2024, will return to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 24-25 September 2024 to address critical environmental issues head-on. Focused on the industry’s energy transition, the conference offers a comprehensive forum for stakeholders across the maritime sector to explore solutions and strategies for achieving low-carbon shipping and zero-emissions shipping.
