First European operator to install FB150

A German coastal vessel, Saxum, has become the first ship in Europe to switch to Inmarsat's new FleetBroadband 150 service.

The Saxum was fitted with a Thrane & Thrane Sailor 150 FleetBroadband system when it arrived at a stopover in its home port of Leer in Germany.

News about the installation comes just days after the Miclyn Enterprise became the first vessel in the world to adopt the service.

Return on investment
Piers Cunningham said "I believe that we will receive a return on our investment in less than 12 months."
Later this month, Briese Schiffahrt will fit an FB150 to one of its container ships -the Langeness.
