Fugro-Geoteam Secures Sat Comms

Marlin (Norway) has extended its contract with seismic vessel operator Fugro-Geoteam (Norway) for five years. As part of the latest agreement, Marlink will supply its innovative Sealink VSAT service to the seismic vessels via Marlink's Eik teleport in Norway, providing 512 Kbps of bandwidth and 10-15 telephone lines for each vessel.

 

Øyvind Haddal, ICT-manager, Fugro-Geoteam AS, says that for safe, efficient and reliable operation of their vessels worldwide, it's important to have trusted satellite communications solutions.

Marlink's latest contract with Fugro-Geoteam follows a new global agreement with Fugro Marine Services BV, which has established Marlink as a preferred supplier of VSAT communications to Fugro vessels worldwide. The new agreement offers a special benefit to both companies, enabling Fugro to take advantage of increased cost efficiency and flexibility of service, while Marlink further strengthens its relationship with one of the world's leading data collection service providers.
