In today's fast-paced world, where communication and connectivity are crucial for businesses, the maritime industry is no exception. The sand carrier, like many other vessels, required internet access for various applications, such as email communication, video conferencing, weather updates, and navigation systems. With SEALION's V61 VSAT antenna system, the sand carrier can now enjoy seamless connectivity and high-speed internet access, even in remote areas of the sea.

Sand Carrier Vessel Background

The vessel in question is a sand carrier with a length of 172 meters, a width of 26 meters, and a draft of 7 meters. Sand carriers play a crucial role in transporting sand and other construction materials, operating in both coastal and inland waterways. The crew on board such vessels require reliable communication systems for efficient operations and maintaining contact with the shore-based teams.

Need for VSAT on Sand Carriers

Sand carriers, like other commercial vessels, require reliable communication systems to ensure smooth operations and crew welfare. VSAT connectivity enables the crew to access the internet for various purposes, including weather updates, navigation, real-time communication with the shore, and even leisure activities. As a result, a high-performance VSAT antenna like the SEALION V61 is an essential piece of equipment for sand carriers.
