Digital transformation is rapidly taking place in the maritime industry, with fleet owners and operators using technology to manage and comply with safety and environmental regulations, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and the demand for goods transportation by sea. There is a range of digital applications developed for the maritime industry specifically, and predictive and preventive maintenance is one area that has seen growth, whereby ship owners can monitor and respond to the fleet’s health and performance, which is particularly important for older fleets without the latest technology.
Other benefits of digitization in the maritime industry include complying with climate regulations, optimizing routes and fuel consumption, and improving communications between the ship and shore, which reduces supply chain bottlenecks and shortens cargo transfer and unloading times. To realize the benefits of digitization, connectivity is vital, and satellite networks offer reliable, always-on connectivity and bandwidth that meets the demands of mission-critical applications. With this in mind, Intelsat’s FlexMaritime, a fully-managed connectivity solution tailored to the maritime industry’s specific needs, offers reliable, high-performance connectivity anywhere in the world.
FlexMaritime is configurable to meet the unique needs of each industry segment and is scalable to support emerging solutions, offering a flexible set of solutions for today’s technologies. Moreover, by deploying a multi-orbit strategy that routes traffic between satellites operating in the geostationary and low-Earth orbit bands, Intelsat’s advanced and modernized network ensures data traffic from ship to shore, providing ship owners with reliable, secure, and robust connectivity.
