Connectivity at Sea
When ‘best-effort’ isn’t good enough
From increasing safety, protecting the environment, and responding rapidly to geopolitical developments, reliable internet is no longer a luxury, but a critical system for every ocean fleet.
SES Commercial Maritime is built from the water up with CIR (Committed Information Rates), backed up by Service Level Agreements, and our 24/7 on-call network operations team is standing by to help you when you need it.
No resource is infinite, but with our bandwidth pool-based services it can feel that way. We allow you to allocate resources to your vessels as you see fit - giving you the control to manage contention in a way that makes sense for your business.
Extraordinary Everywhere
Keep your crew onboard
For seafarers away from home for months, an internet connection is a literal lifeline. It is saying goodnight to partner, a video of your child saying they miss you, a chance to live a little of life back home.
Reliable, high-performing internet is now a key requirement for both recruiting and retaining staff, and boosting the wellbeing of those spending months away from their homes and families.
High-speed connectivity that won’t leave you at sea
Digital Transformation is more than just adding connectivity – it is the seamless integration of your vessels into the rest of your business, extending your key enterprise and cloud applications, enabling your team at sea to collaborate with the same tools the rest of your team uses every day.
Add SES Cloud Direct to ensure your data go straight from your vessel to your cloud of choice, securely and with the highest possible priority.
