Scorpio Shipmanagement upgrades its entire fleet with Marlink’s hybrid network solution Marlink and Scorpio Shipmanagement have signed an agreement to upgrade the hybrid VSAT network solution on all vessels in its fleet, with additional bandwidth to enable new data, applications and reporting. The service extension will provide Scorpio with higher bandwidth services to meet an increasing level of business need for higher data rates and usage volumes. Scorpio’s global fleet of about 150 vessels will be able to satisfy current and future requirements from charterers and regulators, while also providing cost-efficient crew communications. The Scorpio fleet features Marlink’s smart hybrid network combining Ku, Ka-band VSAT with global coverage for voice and data services, L-Band back-up and global 4G connectivity, bundled with security and optimisation tools. The agreement also includes equipment upgrades for new satellite access platforms to deliver best-in-class services on a global basis.
