Shipowners are replacing legacy L-band communications systems with very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology that delivers online connectivity to support the growing digitalisation of maritime logistics chains. VSAT facilitates better monitoring and managing of vessel operations and containers, while providing bandwidth for crew welfare. "We see the VSAT solution as critical to our business operations," says Seaspan manager of process improvement Rajesh Gopinathan. In Q1 2019, Seaspan finished installing Ku-band VSAT on 107 container ships to optimise fleetwide operations. Mr Gopinathan explains that Ku-band VSAT is "helping our business succeed" by enabling digitalisation of its operations, management and procurement.
