    SINGAPORE — Vallianz Holdings said it is accelerating the digitalization of its fleet of offshore support vessels with a comprehensive package of connectivity services from Inmarsat.

    Inmarsart’s Fleet Xpress supports a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) applications for crew welfare, cybersecurity, data capture and analysis, and more.

    Through Fleet Data, provided on the Fleet Edge platform, Singapore-headquartered Vallianz can collect, transfer, store and analyze IoT data to support decision-making in real time.

    Also included is Fleet Connect, which offers Vallianz and its technology partners access to the vessels through dedicated bandwidth. The offshore specialist has already adopted ultralow-bandwidth maritime surveillance technology to enable live vessel monitoring from a shore-based operations center.

    Vallianz also will enhance crew welfare through Fleet Hotspot, a crew connectivity tool. It allows the crew to maintain contact with loved ones ashore and access online entertainment on their own devices without interfering with business-critical bandwidth. Vallianz will be providing each of its crew members with free internet allowance every month.

    In addition, to combat the ever-evolving threat of cyber attacks, Vallianz has signed up for Inmarsat’s Fleet Secure Unified Threat Management (UTM), a complete package of network security tools consolidated on a single device. Designed specifically for the shipping industry, Fleet Secure meets the International Maritime Organization’s 2021 functional cybersecurity requirements for demonstrating cyber-risk management.

    Vallianz’s contract with Inmarsat also includes Fleet Mail for secure and stable email as well as Fleet Care, which provides round-the-clock maintenance, repairs and support for Fleet Xpress.
