A Scandinavian company is investing in radio-link technology across busy passenger shipping routes to turn the Baltic Sea into the world’s first broadband sea. Ferries and cruise ships in the Baltic Sea will be able to use use radio technology instead of satellite communications for their broadband and therefore provide greater connectivity to their passengers and crew. Nowhere Networks is setting up a radio-link network across the region where 15M passengers a year pass as an alternative to VSAT and coastal 4G communications Read More

Spare parts at the push of a button will soon become a reality thanks to 3D printing technology In one of the most promising moves in additive manufacturing (AM) – the industrial-scale equivalent of 3D printing – a Port Authority of Singapore-led consortium, including 10 big shipping groups, is moving ahead on a project that aims to make the port a hub for spare parts. Along with classification society DNV GL and other partners, the consortium is drawing up a list of commonly ordered parts that can be designed and additive-manufactured on site by 3D technology before being distributed to the waiting vessel, wherever it may be.

Collaboration between satellite operators Spire Global and Kleos Co subsidiary Kleos Space will result in improvements to maritime safety and intelligence gathering by defense and security services. The amalgamation of Spire’s satellite automatic identification system (AIS) which tracks ships with radio frequency (RF) reconnaissance data collected by Kleos Space will enable both parties to share far greater maritime surveillance capabilities. Until now no datasets from AIS providers have been integrated with those from an RF satellite operator making this collaboration the first of its kind. Read More
