Navarino

“For us, as for most ship managers, our people are our most important asset, so when we discovered the opportunity to help improve the difficult conditions that all seafarers face on a daily basis, we knew it was an easy choice to add Vikand services to our fleet. We believe that our crews deserve the best levels of support in all areas, especially in areas as important as their physical and mental health.”

“Overall, we look forward to seeing what opportunities Spectrum holds. The service has many functionalities that we haven’t yet discovered. Although Ugland already have an extensive IT department, we feel that Spectrum would be particularly beneficial for companies looking for extra support with their IT infrastructure”

“We have a good open relationship with Navarino. If I need something tweaked, I can speak with the team and get the service adapted. Navarino also provides a very dynamic range of services which we definitely benefit from.”

“The second reason pertains to Spectrum’s asset management capabilities – the asset overview function helps to be compliant with the new IMO regulations.”

“Our primary reasons for choosing Spectrum were the Windows Update functionalities and the asset management tools. When we have, let’s say, 10 client computer systems onboard, it is a much faster process to download Windows Updates through Spectrum than to individually download them on each piece of IT infrastructure, which will ultimately make our lives quite a bit easier. Not only this, but this minimizes data consumption, supporting the financial goals of the company.”

“Starlink has transformed connectivity from a constraint into a strategic asset for the Angelicoussis Group. Its high-speed, low-latency service enables real-time data, video, and telemetry exchange across more than 140 vessels, while ‘home-like’ internet at sea has become a clear advantage in attracting and retaining younger seafarers and strengthening our overall crew value proposition.”

“You guys listen to what we need, and sometimes you need to say no,”

“a stable IT platform that’s essential for both the crew and the business.”

“We believe it will bring our fleet to the cutting edge in terms of IT efficiency and cyber security, and that it will deliver many operational benefits.”

“We were really impressed by Navarino’s flexible approach. Rather than providing black-box solutions, which are fixed in terms of what they offer, Navarino is very willing to listen and adapt its solutions to our needs, even when these needs evolve.”

“Navarino’s Infinity platform has played a central role in enabling this strategy, providing a reliable and scalable foundation for managing multi-band, multi-orbit communications. Once the initial setup was complete, everything became seamless,’ said Shabbir. ‘The support from Navarino has been strong, and Infinity gives us the flexibility and the feature-rich toolset we need as our requirements evolve.”

“At the core of our setup is the ability to manage everything independently,’ said Murtuza Shabbir, Assistant Technical Manager at Ozellar Marine. ‘With Infinity, we can monitor traffic, adjust policies, and roll out changes across the fleet quickly, without relying on external support.”

“Overall I am very happy that we have chosen Navarino as our technology partner – their services are well developed and their support is very good.”

“Ioannis Brougiannakis, the Navarino Account Manager for Navarone added ‘Vessels today are becoming an extension of their shore offices – real-time data exchange is widespread and a ships’ operational efficiency depends on the continuous monitoring of the vessel. What’s more, given the current market conditions and the geopolitical challenges worldwide crew welfare is extremely important. We are very happy to successfully offer our solutions to these maritime needs to Kostas IT team and to Navarone’s fleet and we look forward to an ever closer partnership in the coming years.”

“By embracing this advanced technology, we are displaying our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and leveraging cutting-edge solutions to enhance our operations. Technology is here to serve us and we are here to hand it over to our crew members. Now they can connect with their families and friends through high-quality video calls, messaging apps, and social media platforms, alleviating the sense of isolation and bridging the gap between life at sea and onshore.”

“Besides the big change in speed and latency versus VSAT, Starlink also provides coverage in areas where our ships could previously experience some coverage gaps – for example in the very South Atlantic and South Pacific.”

“Our crews and their welfare is an absolute priority for Equinox Maritime, and I am delighted to say that Starlink has really helped to exponentially improve their connection with their loved ones.”

“Thanks to its very high speed and low latency, Starlink has enabled many new ways of working with our vessels. For example, we are now able to support and deploy software completely remotely, and when needed we have high quality video calls with our seafarers, as if they were on a terrestrial network.”

“I can definitely say that Starlink has been a real game changer for both our business and crew communications.”

“As connectivity becomes ever more critical, adding this new, high speed, low latency solution in combination with our existing setup of Inmarsat Fleet Xpress and Infinity will ensure that our vessels will be able to benefit from a fully redundant, high speed bandwidth setup and we look forward to seeing what Starlink can do to further enhance both our business and crew welfare applications.”

“We are always interested in exploring ways to keep our modern fleet at the forefront of technological innovations, and so trying Starlink is a natural step for us. We chose Navarino to implement this project with us as we know that they are the leading technology partner in the market and we have enjoyed an excellent partnership with them for many years.”

“As a company that treats cyber security with very high priority,  we feel we are in good hands with Quazar Information Security Management System.”

“We were seeking to standardize our operations – which we have achieved with Quazar. It not only meets our requirements but also provides full insight and control over our onboard IT infrastructure. We enjoyed a smooth transition to this new solution with Navarino and we enjoy a very good working relationship.”

“Navarino’s Infinity solution is also very feature rich – we are currently using it as the brain of our crew network to manage and distribute connectivity to our seafarers, whose welfare and ability to connect with loved ones is one of our top priorities.”

“The reliability and speed of FX offer exactly what we need for our fleet’s critical connectivity needs, and because we have chosen plans with a CIR we enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that even when our vessels are traversing busy spot beams, they continue to receive the guaranteed connection speed that they need to operate, 24/7.”
