Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, will deploy NexusWave across Krey Schiffahrt’s four new build heavy-lift vessels, enabling the German ship manager to improve operational efficiency and benefit from 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.”
