Taiwan's largest container shipping company is using Inmarsat's high-speed and secure connectivity service to improve the experience for its crew and speed up digital transformation.
Evergreen Marine, a major player in global container shipping, has decided to be the first Taiwanese operator to upgrade its fleet with the NexusWave bonded connectivity solution from Inmarsat Maritime, a part of Viasat. This upgrade highlights their long-term partnership and supports the company’s modernization initiative, known as ‘Evergreen IT’. After successful testing, Evergreen will transition to NexusWave to improve crew welfare, enhance cybersecurity, and ensure high-performance connectivity for its ships and sailors.
The switch to NexusWave builds on Evergreen’s previous experience with Fleet Xpress. This new system offers bonded, multi-network connectivity with fast speeds, unlimited data, and reliable performance. Crews will enjoy internet access that feels like home, while the operations will benefit from a scalable platform that supports predictive analytics, real-time monitoring of refrigerated containers, and fully integrated IoT devices across the fleet. The solution is designed to be secure and can grow with demand, leveraging the ViaSat-3 ultra-high-capacity network to support Evergreen’s expansion plans.
Evergreen Marine stated: “The fleet-wide use of Inmarsat NexusWave shows our dedication to our seafarers' welfare and operational excellence, while also offering a platform for continued innovation for our customers. We believe that NexusWave, as a scalable and secure connectivity solution, will aid in the digital transformation and future growth of our fleet.”
Gert-Jan Panken, Vice President Maritime at Viasat, remarked: “Evergreen is setting a high standard for modern, data-driven shipping. By implementing NexusWave across their fleet, the company gains a unified, managed connectivity solution for both crew and operations, supported by global coverage and a secure infrastructure. We are excited to strengthen our partnership and provide a platform that can grow with Evergreen's ambitions both now and in the future.”
