Caribe Tankers is investing in satellite communications for crew welfare and business requirements
Marshall Islands incorporated shipowner Caribe Tankers USA (CTU) is deploying new communications terminals on chemical tankers 2006-built Caribe Luna and 2007-built Caribe Maria to connect with geostationary and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites using one service.
CTU will install Inmarsat Maritime’s fully managed and bonded connectivity service, NexusWave, on these tankers to serve its operational and crew communications requirements.NexusWave combines Ka-band and L-band communications over Inmarsat’s geostationary orbiting satellites and the LEO constellation run by Eutelsat OneWeb.
Both Liberia-flagged IMO II product and chemical tankers service the Caribbean market under long-term contractual freight agreements with its business partners.
