The execution and commissioning of this project was led by our engineering team, aided by Inmarsat support.
The objective of this project was a full install of an Inmarsat Intellian GX60 & FleetBroadband satlink, to provide the ship with data and telephone services.
The main tasks we accomplished were:
- Planification of the installation. Physical modification of the ship's equipment to accommodate the new antennas.
- 2 radar units had to be raised & lowered, several VHF and HF antennas relocated.
- Design and manufacturing of the new pedestals for the GX60 and FBB antennas; made with aluminum according to Inmarsat standards.
- Installation of the dishes and cabling from above deck to the BDE rack.
- Deck equipment had to be rearranged into the bridge.
- Full network overhaul of the ship.
- Power supply was improved, with a dedicated AC line and UPS on the bridge.
