Rickmers Group has chosen Marlink Maritime VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) services for its fleet of 90+ vessels including Container Ships, Bulk Carriers and Heavy Lift Vessels. Rickmers decision to migrate to multiband VSAT from Marlink was based on improving operational efficiency through better integration of ship and shore side networks in addition to providing internet connectivity for crew welfare.

High bandwidth availability on Marlink’s Ku-band ‘Plus’ maritime VSAT services will enable Rickmers to significantly enhance on board IT opportunities whilst introducing the possibility of live monitoring, tele-medicine and remote access from shore to ship, supporting various energy efficiency initiatives across the fleet. With Marlink Maritime VSAT Rickmers will also be positioned to enhance communication facilities for crews, through availability of high quality Internet access.
