Recently, Campbell Shipping, a ship management group headquartered in the Bahamas, signed a new agreement with Inmarsat, a mobile satellite communications company, to extend the cooperation between the two parties and add Fleet Care and Fleet Secure Endpoint services to its existing 12 ships' Fleet Xpress solution. Now it will be able to perform remote maintenance, support and repair beyond the fast, reliable and extensive global coverage provided by Fleet Xpress, And comprehensive network protection.
It is understood that these performance characteristics are the key factors that Campbell Shipping decided to migrate its dry bulk carrier from Fleet Broadband to Fleet Xpress in 2018. Because these ships often sail in the southern hemisphere, Fleet Xpress combines high-speed Ka-band and continuous L-band backup, which can provide bandwidth and stability, keep business operations online 24 hours a day, and enable crew members to keep in touch with friends and family on shore.
Inmarsat said that Fleet Care can obtain the all-weather remote support of Inmarsat engineers. When the ships managed by Campbell Shipping Company operate in isolated waters, it is difficult for service technicians to enter, which will prove that Fleet Care is particularly valuable. In addition to helping important communication systems maintain normal operation and promote safer and more efficient operation, the comprehensive management maintenance plan will also provide cost transparency, and the monthly fixed fee will replace the more expensive annual service. At the same time, in the case of increasing attention to maritime network attacks and malware, the Fleet Secure Endpoint will provide Campbell with continuous protection for all online terminals on the ship's network, and automatically monitor, identify and block threats when they occur.
"We chose to renew the contract with Inmarsat based on its extensive coverage and our positive experience in cooperation with the company so far. Since the upgrade to Fleet Xpress, our ship has better connectivity, and the crew can enjoy more stable communication and entertainment services on board. Now, due to the value-added application of Inmarsat, we can also rest assured that the ship equipment and network are safe, "Michael Dean, IT Ship Manager of Campbell Shipping, said in a statement.
