Miramar FL (SPX) May 06, 2010 MTN Satellite Communications (MTN) has announced that it has been selected to provide VSAT services for Singapore-based Goodwood Ship Management. "We chose MTN because of their global C-band coverage and reliable network backed by responsive worldwide service," said Captain Ashok Sabnis, managing director, Goodwood Ship Management. "MTN's flat-rate, continuously available Internet connection provides the most cost-effective solution for our business and will achieve significant cost savings compared with pay-as-you-go satellite services." MTN is initially installing C-band antennas and below-deck equipment on Goodwood managed vessels of three Ore/Bulk/Oil (OBO) ships and one capesize bulker. The vessels are being fitted with four separate phone lines for crew calling as well as computer stations for e-mail and Internet access. In addition, the MTN VSAT will be used for all ship operations and remote management communications. The contract calls for a guaranteed minimum of continuously available bandwidth of 64 kbps with maximum bandwidth of 128 kbps when needed. "Goodwood joins the growing number of fleet operators switching to MTN VSAT services," said Bradford C. Briggs, senior vice president and general manager, MTN commercial shipping and energy services. "Our committed information rate (CIR) service plans ensure that the ship will always have access to sufficient bandwidth to meet its communication requirements."
