Uniwise Offshore will use Nava enabled-high-speed connectivity and services for operational improvements, including optimised electronic document handling and ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications for safer and more cost-effective operations.

The company will also be able to improve its on-board communication services, including crew welfare and fleet management.

The service is powered by Nava FTTS (fibre-to-the-ship), which is able to support very high data-transfer rates, providing constantly high bandwidth for operational efficiency with wide area satellite coverage across Asia Pacific.

Nava FTTS incorporates an L-band backup solution, said Jon-Axel Hauglum, senior general manager at Uniwise Offshore.
