Inmarsat Maritime, now part of Viasat, has teamed up with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) to enhance its fleet by transitioning from Fleet Xpress (FX) to the innovative nexuswave service. This upgrade will empower MOL to leverage Inmarsat’s thorough bonded connectivity solution, propelling the digital change of this prominent japanese shipping firm. The local partner, JSAT MOBILE communications, will oversee the implementation and support for this upgrade across a diverse fleet that includes LNG carriers, oil tankers, and car carriers.
MOL is adapting to changing demands for operational efficiency and crew connectivity by seeking advanced satellite communication services that turn their vessels into mobile offices and agreeable living spaces. With NexusWaveS ability to merge various network layers into a single bonded connection, it offers high speeds, dependable service, unlimited data access worldwide—all while ensuring top-notch cybersecurity measures are in place along with 24/7 technical support and clear pricing structures.
Junichi Yoshiyama from MOL expressed enthusiasm about this shift: “Our ships are evolving into connected operation centers and homes for our crew members; Inmarsat’s NexusWave is key in providing them with reliable high-speed internet as we advance our onboard digital initiatives.”
Ben Palmer of Inmarsat Maritime shared his excitement too: “We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with MOL through NexusWave—this technology not only accelerates maritime digitalization but also supports the concept of floating offices and homes. Innovative companies like MOL appreciate our solution’s performance and reliability.”
Katsuaki Koike from JSAT MOBILE Communications remarked on their long-standing partnership: “The alliance between MOL,JSAT,and Inmarsat highlights our dedication to delivering state-of-the-art connectivity solutions. We’re committed to facilitating MOL’s journey towards digital transformation while ensuring smooth installations across their fleet.”
NexusWave has demonstrated impressive real-world performance during tests—achieving download speeds around 330–340 Mbps and upload speeds between 70–80 Mbps—with network availability consistently above 99.9%.Looking ahead, Inmarsat plans further enhancements through integration with the next-gen ultra-high capacity ViaSat-3 Ka-band network which promises even faster aggregated connectivity speeds.
