Thome Group transitions at least 100 vessels to Marlink services

Singapore-based ship manager Thome Group has signed an agreement with smart solutions provider Marlink in order to provide hybrid network connectivity services to at least 100 of its vessels.

The vessels will be equipped with Marlink’s high speed VSAT service as well as L-band back-up to ensure flexible guaranteed bandwidth at all times. The agreement is also expected to ensure that vessels operated by Thome Group will have sufficient bandwidth to keep the crew connected with family and friends.

Thome can also tailor the service offered to each shipping company from a variety of service levels. Key to providing this new standard of connectivity for Thome Group is Marlink’s use of a flexible Committed Information Rate (CIR) to deploy guaranteed bandwidth which can be adjusted based on the vessel’s data demand, according to a statement.

Say Toon Foo, vice president of IT at Thome Group, commented, “This agreement with Marlink is a further step on a digitalisation journey that will help our customers realise the benefits of digitalisation on a standardized platform.”
