Krey Schiffahrt has chosen Inmarsat NexusWave to provide connectivity for its new project cargo carriers. The shipping company, which manages eight multi-purpose heavy lift vessels, is expanding its fleet with ships designed for greater operational flexibility and reduced environmental impact. The new vessels feature optimized hull shapes and advanced propulsion systems that are expected to lower carbon dioxide emissions by more than 35 percent compared to similar tonnage.
The NexusWave service will support the vessels’ performance monitoring and energy management systems, ensuring they remain connected regardless of their location. NexusWave combines multiple networks to offer global coverage, managed performance, unlimited data, and secure high-speed connections for both operational use and crew welfare.
Captain Maxim Babenko, Nautical Superintendent at Krey Schiffahrt, said: “Our new heavy lift vessels are designed to execute a variety of challenging projects with a high degree of efficiency, making reliable connectivity a must. NexusWave’s fully managed service and unlimited data will help to keep our critical systems connected at all times and enhance crew welfare. Partnering with Inmarsat gives us the confidence of a single, trusted provider for all of our connectivity needs.”
Jan-Henning Stehr, Sales Manager – Europe at Inmarsat Maritime, stated: “State-of-the-art vessels require state-of-the-art connectivity – and Inmarsat NexusWave delivers exactly that. For Krey Schiffahrt’s newbuild project cargo carriers, NexusWave will provide seamless high-speed connectivity service that supports fuel efficiency, continuous monitoring, and crew wellbeing wherever they sail.”
Viasat completed its acquisition of Inmarsat in May 2023. The merger brought together the technologies and resources of both companies to form a global communications partner focused on delivering secure and reliable connections across land, air, and sea.
Inmarsat Maritime operates from Viasat’s international headquarters in London.
