Shipping Company Connects Global Fleet with Maritime VSAT
Harbor Shipping Lines achieves 50x bandwidth increase and 80% cost reduction with maritime VSAT solution connecting 45-vessel global fleet.
The challenge
Harbor Shipping Lines operated 45 vessels with inconsistent satellite connectivity. Crew welfare suffered from limited bandwidth, operational systems couldn't reliably transmit data, and vessel-to-shore communications depended on expensive legacy systems averaging $15 per MB.
Our crews used to ration satellite time like it was gold. Now they video call home regularly while we run operational applications that weren't possible before. Rubber Duck Technology found connectivity solutions designed for maritime, not adapted from land-based services.
The solution
Rubber Duck Technology designed a maritime VSAT solution combining Ku-band and LEO satellite coverage for global operations. The solution included bandwidth management prioritizing operational traffic, crew welfare allocations, and IoT connectivity for vessel monitoring systems.
The results
- Bandwidth increased 50x
- Connectivity costs reduced 80%
- Crew welfare dramatically improved
- Real-time vessel monitoring enabled
- Operational applications deployed shipboard
