Dutch maritime navigation company De Boer Marine is using SES Networks’ connectivity and the Skala Global Platform to provide its clients with managed data services, the two companies announced on Wednesday. 

SES said that De Boer Marine and fleet operators now have flexible bandwidth management, advanced automatic beam switching, and a network management system designed for profitability and efficiency. The Skala Global Platform combines ground system technology, satellite capabilities, and service lifecycle expertise into managed data services for commercial shipping companies. 

“We have a diverse customer base, with complex requirements when it comes to data. This makes SES the natural choice to partner with as its investments in space and ground-based infrastructure offer a reliable solution that ensures our customers will have the capacity, coverage, and performance they need to overcome any future challenges they face,” said Johannes Oost, vice president of Business Development at De Boer Marine.
