Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, has secured an agreement with Hapag-Lloyd to deploy NexusWave across its global fleet, following successful onboard trials of the fully managed bonded connectivity service.
Hapag-Lloyd began evaluating NexusWave in 2024 as part of its broader digitalization roadmap and Strategy 2030 ambitions. During the trial phase, direct crew feedback highlighted the service’s ability to deliver a consistent “home-like” internet experience with consistent global availability. Beyond crew connectivity, the evaluation focused on operational continuity, application performance, cybersecurity resilience and the ability to support Hapag-Lloyd’s evolving digital ecosystem at sea.
NexusWave will provide Hapag-Lloyd with high-speed fully managed, secure-by-design connectivity that intelligently bonds Ka-band, LEO, LTE and L-band networks and offers unlimited data, supporting real-time collaboration, remote IT management, data-intensive applications and enhanced vessel performance monitoring across the fleet.
The agreement also includes Inmarsat’s Premium Care Programme, providing round-the-clock technical assistance and access to maintenance and warranty services across more than 80 ports worldwide.
By enabling more connected, data-driven and operationally efficient vessels, NexusWave will support Hapag-Lloyd’s Strategy 2030, enhancing customer service, advancing sustainability goals, and driving scalable digital transformation to help solidify its position as a top-five global container line.
