Pacific Basin invests in Inmarsat connectivity

“Our seafarers’ wellbeing is a top priority, and this service will optimise communications channels to secure the fastest available connection to their loved ones ashore,” said Mr Das.

“The capabilities of NexusWave also align closely with our expanding use of digital applications across our fleet for better decision-making and efficiencies.”

NexusWave dynamically adjusts traffic routeing to maintain a seamless experience for crew and ship operators. It will be augmented by the upcoming integration of the ViaSat-3 network.

Recent real-world tests saw the fully managed service achieve download speeds of up to 330–340 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 70–80 Mbps, while network availability on vessels exceeded 99.9%.

“With NexusWave, operators like Pacific Basin can enjoy connected confidence, enabled by high speeds and availability, unlimited data, global coverage and robust enterprise-grade security – all from a single, trusted maritime connectivity provider,” said Inmarsat Maritime regional director for sales in Asia-Pacific, Justin Yi.

“By enhancing both crew and business communications, Pacific Basin is ultimately transforming its vessels into floating homes and offices using NexusWave.”
