Maersk Supply Service first to offer unique high-speed Internet access

LONDON -- Maersk Supply Service has become the first company to offer clients unique high-speed Internet access with Fleet Xpress. The company has reconfirmed its commitment to Fleet Xpress, in a three-year contract extension which also sees one of the world’s largest offshore support vessel operators among the first companies to sign up to Inmarsat’s new dedicated bandwidth service for charterers.

Deployed off Europe, the Americas, West Africa, South East Asia and Australia, 40 Maersk Supply Service vessels include some of the most modern anchor handlers, subsea support vessels and platform supply vessels in the offshore services industry, with 10 built within the last three years. Maersk Supply Service says it is also a strong advocate for digital solutions that use high quality data to optimize vessel operations, recently adopting a new energy advisory system in support of an initial target to reduce fuel consumption by 5% by 2020.
