Marlink will deploy its guaranteed bandwidth hybrid network solutions to the Höegh Autoliners fleet to accelerate the company’s integration of digital services to meet its sustainability goals.
Already a customer using remote IT service, support and maintenance from Marlink, Höegh Autoliners will adopt Marlink’s hybrid network solutions, blending high throughput VSAT with L-band backup and 4G/5G services.
This agreement builds on our existing relationship with Marlink and enables us to support our future-focussed strategy with solutions that can scale as requirements grow.
… said Andreas Enger, Chief Executive Officer, Höegh Autoliners
The managed network solution also includes Marlink’s Unified Threat Management (UTM) cyber security service to ensure the highest security for sensitive data and applications. The company will also evaluate the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) services entering the maritime industry, which can be used to support crew welfare and new business applications.
Leveraging Marlink’s advanced digital solutions across the fleet aims to enable Höegh Autoliners to improve performance across the fleet. The contract reflects increasing demand for vessel performance data as well as the need to demonstrate compliance of its operations and a high degree of cyber resilience.
Consolidating digital connectivity and remote IT solutions with a single supplier will provide Höegh Autoliners with a consistent foundation for its future business success.
