Arumugam says it uses Ku- and Ka-band VSAT, Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), and 4G and 5G, explaining that multiple connections allowed One SATCOM to \u201cload balance\u201d between different channels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf one connection breaks down, then that traffic is flipped to the second connection,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Maersk may be ahead in this transformation, but they\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n<p>State-of-the-art container vessels are now using artificial intelligence to make real-time decisions based on data from cameras, sensors and radar, says James Trevelyan, executive vice president for global sales at communications and IT services provider Speedcast. \u201cThese systems would not function effectively without always-on connectivity,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<h3>A Digital Revolution at Sea<\/h3>\n<p>Indeed, the whole merchant marine sector is undergoing something of a digital revolution, according to Despina Panayiotou Theodosiou, co-CEO of Tototheo, a maritime connectivity and technology services leader. <\/p>\n<p>She says that while merchant shipping was notorious for being technologically conservative, that narrative is changing. \u201cWe see many changes coming because of the advancements in LEO [connectivity]. We see a great uptake of digital solutions from merchant shipping. We also see a lot of investment in IT infrastructure on board ships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Powering that revolution, and bringing the goal of the floating vessel office within reach, is the bandwidth explosion in satellite connectivity over the past few years driven, above all, by Starlink, but with competing LEO constellations close behind.<\/p>\n<p>In maritime, the most surprising thing about Starlink, Theodosiou says, was the speed of uptake. In less than two years, Starlink had transformed the market.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6dd713;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6dd713 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6dd714').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6dd714'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not expect this rapid change,\u201d in the traditionally change-resistant merchant maritime sector, she acknowledges. \u201cWe were used to customers needing some time to adapt. That was definitely not the case with Starlink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are disrupting the industry but that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing,\u201d Theodosiou says, adding that Tototheo now sells Starlink, \u201cThey are doing a great job at present for us as service providers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She attributes the speed of adoption to the low price point of the service and the hardware, and the ease of installation, saying it is easier and more cost efficient than traditional satcom.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink hardware is roughly one third to one quarter the cost of a traditional satellite antenna, says Joshua Flood, a senior consultant at Valour, a provider of technology market intelligence. In addition, he pointed out that Starlink doesn\u2019t require two or three days in dock and the specialized labor to install it.<\/p>\n<p>Valour cites that Starlink had achieved 25 percent market penetration of satellite-connected vessels in less than two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s incredible,\u201d Flood says, especially given how \u201ctribal and fragmented\u201d the maritime market is between different sectors.<\/p>\n<p>But if Starlink is bringing the price points and ease-of-installation of consumer broadband to the maritime sector, it\u2019s also bringing with it some compromises from the consumer market.<\/p>\n<p>Satellite is traditionally sold to enterprises with committed information rates, meaning guarantees about bandwidth, speed and availability, Flood tells <em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Via Satellite<\/em>. Starlink doesn\u2019t offer guarantees or service level agreements. Notoriously, it doesn\u2019t have so much as a customer service phone line, even for business customers.<\/p>\n<p>So far this hasn\u2019t seemed to slow uptake, Flood says. \u201cThey haven\u2019t committed to anything, but the levels of service and speed that they\u2019ve provided have been outstanding.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6de2d6;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6de2d6 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6de2d7').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6de2d7'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>All that extra bandwidth had been a game changer, says Moacyr Camilotti, the director of connectivity solutions at cruise giant Carnival Corporation, \u201cIt\u2019s had a huge impact, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the social media age, the ability to post about an experience is key to enjoying it for many travelers, and broadband connectivity is not a nice-to-have add-on for Carnival\u2019s more than two-dozen ships in the Western Hemisphere and the Pacific Islands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur need for connectivity is all about a home-like experience for our guests and crew,\u201d Camilotti told a panel at SATELLITE 2024 earlier this year, which featured maritime and aviation end users.<\/p>\n<p>Camilotti said Carnival was also working on a \u201cvendor neutral solution\u201d for satellite connectivity like Maersk\u2019s One SATCOM, to be implemented on all Carnival cruise lines ships by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Flood says that the maritime and cruise market was a \u201cBrucie bonus\u201d for Starlink, referencing the catch phrase of British game show host Bruce Forsyth.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink had built a globe-spanning constellation to serve the terrestrial market, but while those satellites were over the oceans, they were an under-utilized resource, Flood explains. Selling that unused bandwidth to ocean-going vessels made good business sense for Starlink, but it wasn\u2019t part of the company\u2019s core market strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise lines like Carnival have been able to capitalize as well. \u201cThe moment you get on board a Carnival vessel, they will try to sell you a data package,\u201d Flood says. Smartphone-hungry passengers are a huge, deep well of demand that cruise lines can monetize. \u201cAny bandwidth they can get from Starlink or anywhere else, they can flip it, with a markup, straight to the passengers.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Multi-Orbit Will Change the Provider-User Relationship<\/h3>\n<p>Starlink, along with other innovations in the satcom ecosystem could usher in a a new multi-orbit and multi-provider era that could radically shift the balance of power between providers and users, says Maersk\u2019s Arumugam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you get a connection from one provider, then you\u2019re pretty much dependent on them,\u201d he says. Proprietary technology in the below deck equipment like antennas, modems and routers, locks satcom users in.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6de8c6;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6de8c6 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6de8c7').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6de8c7'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we want to migrate to another service provider or another technology, then suddenly we find the antenna is not compatible or the routers are not compatible. [Replacing them] is an immense expense for a company like us where we have 300 to 400 vessels that we\u2019re sailing globally. And it\u2019s a pain,\u201d Arumugam says.<\/p>\n<p>Maersk\u2019s One SATCOM platform, using virtualized infrastructure, and multiple pre-installed antennas, can sometimes onboard a new provider with just an over the air software update, Arumugam says, or with a few small hardware changes \u201cThat the crew can do, without having to take the vessel to port and get a crane and all that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The One SATCOM multi-provider model has created an ecosystem of suppliers, he says, effectively competing against each other on price and service to supply bandwidth to Maersk\u2019s fleet. <\/p>\n<p>Maersk designed One SATCOM to get past the pain of vendor lock-in, and others want to as well. Theodosiou says Tototheo is seeing an uptick in demand for hybrid connectivity solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShip owners and ship operators are trying to find what works best for them. That doesn\u2019t mean one solution anymore.\u201d Although the days of a one-size-fits-all solution are over, she says that increasing demand for hybrid solutions is an opportunity for service providers, \u201cThe value we bring is orchestration of these different networks, which can be very diverse; and the management of that in order for our customers to get the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maritime satellite service providers are facing the same changes other sectors are confronting, explained Theodosiou. \u201cThe link is becoming commoditized,\u201d she says, \u201cWhat we have to do is provide a better experience for our own customers, a more seamless experience.\u201d Just selling bandwidth wouldn\u2019t cut it any more, she says, \u201cThat\u2019s how the model is changing from now on. We need to innovate and provide value add for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That includes applications to let crew members do remote monitoring and other safety activities more conveniently, she says.<\/p>\n<p>Some crew members with special skills might not need to be on board at all, says Trevelyan, but could monitor multiple vessels remotely from a single location.<\/p>\n<p>However, at least for the time being, the most important application for on board connectivity on most merchant vessels is the crew, says Flood.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6defe6;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6af1e6defe6 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6defe7').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6af1e6defe7'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, that means the quality of the service provided is often determined by the ease of replacement lor the level of training\u201d of the crew, Flood says. Oil or LNG tankers, which required certified or trained crew, typically offered high bandwidth connections, often at no charge. At the other end of the scale, bulk containers, with the lowest skilled and most easily replaceable crew tended to offer the bare minimum in terms of connectivity.<\/p>\n<h3>Regulated Markets, Legacy Providers<\/h3>\n<p>Despite its market penetration, Starlink won\u2019t be replacing established maritime satellite providers anytime soon, experts say. For the time being it will remain an add-on, though a welcome one. \u201cIn most maritime segments, [Starlink and other LEO] is a compliment to the connectivity suite we\u2019re delivering,\u201d says Speedcast exec Trevelyan.<\/p>\n<p>Different users on the vessels have \u201cdiffering needs and application requirements,\u201d he says, adding, \u201cA single closed network LEO service may not meet the mark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides, licensing rules and other regulations currently require most commercial vessels to have some sort of safety-certified connection, usually provided by Iridium or Inmarsat, according to Flood.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming world of hybrid connectivity, he says, network orchestration technology will be key for end users, tying multiple modes of data transport together.<\/p>\n<p>Carnival is still looking for intelligent provisioning technology, says Camilotti, where a ship\u2019s satellite terminal would be able, based on the route programmed and other data, to \u201cidentify the best provider for that region where you\u2019re sailing, and choose that provider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a cruise ship, intelligent provisioning would also need \u201cto be smart enough to understand how the experience is on board and then take the right actions to optimize that,\u201d he says.    <\/p>\n<p>But networking decisions like intelligent provisioning are only the tip of the iceberg of use cases for automation and AI on connected vessels, according to maritime service providers.<\/p>\n<p>There are many potential applications for AI, from remote monitoring for safety or convenience, says Theodosiou. Tototheo does software development and will soon begin testing AI applications. She noted that AI for core industries like merchant shipping is governed by the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very excited about the prospects, but we also need to be a little bit careful, especially with merchant shipping,\u201d she says. \u201cWe have to be very careful about how we\u2019re using applications for our customers.\u201d <strong class=\"Annotation
