Marlink is including Starlink LEO connection to Eastern Pacific Shipping’s (EPS) existing clever crossbreed network, with the Singapore- based ship supervisor wants to improve service procedures as well as seafarer wellbeing solutions throughout its fleet.
The Starlink solution will at first be trialed onboard picked vessels, incorporated right into the clever mix of networks handled by Marlink, which currently offers most of the EPS fleet with VSAT connection as well as several L-band back-up choices.
“A Marlink customer since 2016, EPS has progressively adopted digital solutions to support the efficiency and safety of its operations. This includes a strong focus on digitalization and sustainability, covering all aspects of environmental protection and programs to enhance crew welfare,” Marlink stated.
“EPS is currently undergoing unprecedented growth with an expanding orderbook increasing the fleet size to 21m DWT under management. To manage this exponential growth in a fast-changing environment, EPS is shifting its culture from managing ships to leading people. Supporting this culture shift is the EPS Life at Sea Programme – a robust initiative designed to improve the long term mental and physical wellbeing of its 6,000 strong workforce,” Marlink included.
