Remarkable growth in remote installations
Marlink, a company present in the Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2021, carried out over 900 remote installations in 2024, a jump of over 350% on the 200 of the previous year. This rapid development is the result of several factors, including the need to adopt new high-speed connectivity solutions and the persistence of certain logistical constraints. The new technologies available have facilitated this adoption, and shipowners have gradually opted for remote installations, even in times of disruption to their schedules.
Reduce costs, simplify installation and promote sustainable innovation
Remote installations bring significant benefits to shipowners, reducing overall costs and optimizing operations. Preparing equipment prior to installation saves time and makes the process smoother, while ensuring that the vessel remains up to standard.
In addition, Marlink has simplified the installation of solutions such as LEO and Cyber systems, enabling the integration of new technologies while maintaining the ship's connectivity. The company has also set up a dedicated remote support team, offering crews the necessary guidance before, during and after installation. By opting for remote installations, Marlink is also helping to reduce its carbon footprint, limiting staff travel and supporting more sustainable practices in the maritime industry.
