Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, will deploy NexusWave on Krey Schiffahrt’s four newbuild heavy lift vessels. The deployment will enable the German ship manager to enhance operational efficiency and unlock the benefits of always-on, unlimited connectivity.
Krey Schiffahrt currently manages eight modern multi-purpose heavy lift vessels and is expanding its fleet to meet evolving project cargo demands. Its new, state-of-the-art project cargo carriers have been designed for operational flexibility, with optimised hull shapes and innovative propulsion systems that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 35% compared to equivalent tonnage.
Inmarsat NexusWave will help ensure that performance monitoring and energy management systems remain seamlessly connected wherever the vessels operate. The bonded multi-network service is designed to combine global coverage, managed performance levels and unlimited data, and to deliver secure, high-speed and always-on connectivity for both operational and crew applications.
Captain Maxim Babenko, Nautical Superintendent, ISM, ISPS, Krey Schiffahrt, said: “Our new heavy lift vessels are designed to execute a variety of challenging projects with a high degree of efficiency, making reliable connectivity a must. NexusWave’s fully managed service and unlimited data will help to keep our critical systems connected at all times and enhance crew welfare. Partnering with Inmarsat gives us the confidence of a single, trusted provider for all of our connectivity needs.”
