A.P. Moller – Maersk and Inmarsat Maritime report that they have signed a new agreement to upgrade the Inmarsat satcom services across Maersk’s global fleet of approximately 340 container ships.
The agreement will see bandwidth enhancements rolled out across Maersk’s entire fleet of owned container ships between 2025 and 2026.
The move is part of Maersk’s strategic roadmap to facilitate unified connectivity and improve vessel operations through digitalisation, expanded cloud-enabled systems, and a more cohesive operational infrastructure, enabling future advancements in automation-focused operations.
“Connectivity is the key enabler in ensuring our vessels can become floating offices, and with our ‘One SatCom’ project we have the target of having transformed all our vessels into floating offices by 2027,” said Karthikeyan Arumugam, Senior Product Manager at Maersk.
“The partnership with Inmarsat Maritime plays an important role in enriching application availability and performance – thereby supporting our digital transformation at sea.”
“No less important, it also fosters a better working environment and well-being for our crew members – ensuring that our vessels are not only workplaces but also connected homes away from home.”
