Launched in 2016, Fleet Xpress sets a new standard in maritime communications. The service enhances vessel efficiency, crew welfare and safety, and facilitates ‘connected ship’ applications by delivering the highest levels of reliable high-speed broadband connectivity available from a single supplier on a global scale.
“We have been working with Inmarsat for more than 20 years, so they have proven they are the most reliable satellite communication service provider and partner in the world,” says Mayank Mishra, General Manager at Fleet Management Limited. “We have been thoroughly impressed with the service provided by Inmarsat and expect to implement internet connectivity across the majority of our fleet as quickly as possible. We are committed to delivering the best possible on-board user experience and look forward to bringing a new level of high-speed connectivity to our vessels.”
Gerbrand Schalkwijk, Chief Sales Officer, Inmarsat Maritime said, “Fleet Xpress brings specific benefits for fleet managers. Ship managers are ideally placed to exploit high-speed, ultra-reliable connectivity that puts big data at the heart of operating decisions and cost-controlled connectivity in the hands of seafarers. They also get new hands-on management capability via high quality voice and video calls, while CCTV on-board is also live. Fleet Xpress even enables real-time status checking via an app on superintendent smartphones.”
