Maritime - Two-Way Satellite Service

SeaCast
Get connected and entertained anywhere at sea!

Primarily designed for the Maritime industry; SeaCast ensure real-time, broadband, always-on, flat-fee connectivity at sea with worldwide coverage. With a high level of interest being shown by the commercial shipping fleets, SeaCast is also designed for the energy industries engaging in or working with offshore drilling and production platforms, drill ships, exploration, survey and service support vessels.

Very Importantly, SeaCast is charged as a monthly fixed fee service with unlimited usage. Stabilizes tracking antennas are required to maintain communications to our satellite fleet. SeaCast not only provides the most extensive and flexible coverage across Asian waters but also offers global coverage to the Middle East and Africa.

Receive and transmit content, surveillance

Remote sensing
Makes it possible to collect data at dangerous or inaccessible areas to forecast weather and ocean conditions.

In recent times, with the rapid growth in the offshore energy industry and commercial shipping, HR strategy is a primary driving force behind the need for faster, cheaper communications! Indeed, the welfare of the crew is #1 priority as many fleet managers struggle with the retention of experience officers and crew in this economically buoyant time. As such, the research reveals most ship managers have already implemented crew calling and are now looking to add TV entertainment and GSM-on-board. Should crew welfare continue to be the priority, we may

see further requirements for telemedicine / virtual medical officers and distance learning.

However, crew welfare is not the only business need as vessels migrate to resemble floating IT networks with all major control equipment having network interfaces. Higher information rates and ship-to-shore communications will also be the key in serving the need for continuous improvement and competitive advantage for the maritime industry in the areas of:

Navigation
Safety and vessel traceability Harbour operations & port clearance Precision navigation to avoid hazards Observation of tides and currents Weather forecasting

Emergency procedures
Global real-time data transmission to assist in carrying out search, rescue and response activities

Administration
Notices to Mariners Online procurement Spares management Equipment and fuel management With an automatic switch-over feature, SeaCast broadband services can be incorporated to work together to complement the incumbent narrowband satellite terminals (e.g. Inmarsat). The two services each have their strengths and may often co-exist on a single vessel.
