Norse Ship Management has chosen Inmarsat’s NexusWave service to improve internet connectivity for its crew and streamline ship operations. The decision is part of the company’s digitalisation strategy, aimed at supporting business-critical applications and real-time engine monitoring with uninterrupted remote access between ships and shore.
The NexusWave system provides a managed bonded connectivity service with unlimited data and global coverage. Crew members are expected to benefit from an internet experience similar to what they have on land, as web-based applications will perform more smoothly on board.
” Crew welfare is our top priority, and providing a home-like internet experience onboard is increasingly vital to keeping our crews happy and motivated. With growing traffic demands on the commercial side and the need to ensure consistent, high-speed connectivity, we have selected NexusWave to upgrade our current system. We look forward to a continued successful collaboration with Station Satcom,” said Capt. Akshay Yadava, Managing Director of Norse Ship Management.
The network bonding technology used by NexusWave enables ships to combine the speed and capacity of all available networks at once rather than relying on a single connection. This approach aims to deliver reliable, secure, and high-performance connectivity for ship owners and managers.
Anshul Khanna, Director at Station Satcom Private Limited, commented: “We are proud to be entrusted by Norse Ship Management to deliver NexusWave across their fleet. This partnership reflects Station Satcom’s commitment to enabling smarter, safer, and more connected maritime operations. Our integrated deployment approach ensures Norse benefits from a single, robust platform tailored to their evolving digital needs.”
Justin Yi, Regional Director at Inmarsat Maritime added: “Norse Ship Management’s decision to adopt NexusWave highlights their forward-thinking approach to digitalisation, with a clear commitment to enhancing crew welfare and operational efficiency. We extend our thanks to Station Satcom for its expert support in successfully delivering this deployment.”
Future enhancements are planned for NexusWave through integration with ViaSat-3 Ka-band network technology which aims to further increase speed and capacity for users.
