How advanced connectivity powers profitability

Within the next decade, analysts forecast that nearly 150,000 broadband-enabled vessels will ply the seas. That’s because connectivity and digital applications deliver savings on productivity, time in port, fuel, maintenance and crew turnover that easily outweigh the increased cost. What owners and managers need is a connectivity partner that delivers reliability and high quality service everywhere their vessels sail.
