Maritime

Our satellites provide extensive coverage of all of the world’s ocean regions. We are continually adding dedicated beams on future and replacement satellites that are designed specifically to serve the maritime industry.

• We enable you to deliver voice, video, and data services to a variety of maritime platforms, including merchant, cruise, and government vessels.
• You can depend on our dedicated maritime broadband service for always-on broadband connectivity without the cost of traditional Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) solutions.

Providing data links for safety and efficiency

Maritime businesses have an increasing need for real-time data communication to provide ship and cargo surveillance, or vessel monitoring that improves ship performance and efficiency. SES delivers vital satellite connectivity to keep vessels connected with headquarters while traversing even the most remote marine routes.

Maritime broadband aids swift decision making as well as providing vital data links for enterprise resource planning (ERP), and communication from ship to ship, ship to rig and ship to shore.

Keeping crews and passengers connected

Broadband connectivity at sea is essential to maintaining crew welfare, helping companies ensure on-the-job satisfaction and staff retention. From videoconferencing with family at home to downloading the latest movies, SES’s satellite coverage keeps crews connected to family, up to date on their favourite TV programmes and informed about the news in the wider world, all while traversing shipping routes in virtually every corner of the globe.

SES delivers vital connectivity links for business communications that ensure operational efficiency and safety at sea, and for private communications that ensure crew welfare, staff retention and passenger satisfaction.
