Hurtigruten installing SpaceX connectivity fleetwide

Sunday, 12 Oct, 2022 0

Hurtigruten Expeditions is implementing SpaceX’s i broadband service Starlink across all ships.

In cooperation with connectivity partner Speedcast, the installation will be completed in October.

Speedcast and Hurtigruten Expeditions began testing and integration of Starlink terminals onboard the fleet of small-size expedition cruise ships in March.

Installation will be complete by end of October – making Hurtigruten Expeditions the first cruise line to introduce it across its entire fleet.

“We’ve seen major players announcing plans for implementation of Starlink connectivity. Our partnership with Speedcast and fleetwide introduction of the new service not only puts us ahead of the rest of the cruise industry, it also puts us ahead of the technology,” said Hurtigruten Expeditions CEO Asta Lassesen.

When Starlink introduces maritime coverage in Antarctica and the Arctic, we will be ready,” said Lassesen.
