Sallaum Lines Pioneers Digitalization with Fleetwide Upgrade to Inmarsat NexusWave 

As a maritime shipping company, upgrading our satellite communication services is necessary to enable efficient fleet management, decarbonization, and crew welfare aboard our existing and upcoming fleet in line with our strategic plan. On 25 April 2025, Sallaum Lines is proud to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Inmarsat Maritime, making us one of the world-leading companies adopting Inmarsat’s NexusWave fully managed bonded connectivity service. 

Serving as our connectivity partner, NexusWave solution will provide secure, ultra-fast connectivity with unlimited data. With the evolution of maritime regulations, the need for connectivity is skyrocketing. The solutions provided will allow us access to numerous benefits that optimize and enhance efficiency, reduce operating costs, draw in and keep skilled team members; as well as the ability to ensure operational resilience and create competitive advantages. 

With a strong focus on enhancing connectivity at sea, Sallaum Lines is implementing NexusWave to support advanced data collection, IoT-driven decision-making, and seamless operational monitoring. The high-speed, low-latency solution will ensure reliable and unlimited data access, enabling more efficient fleet management and improved onboard technologies. By integrating smart vessel capabilities, Sallaum Lines is leveraging automation, AI-powered analytics, and predictive maintenance to optimize fuel efficiency, route planning, and vessel performance. The NexusWave solution will facilitate real-time data exchange between ship and shore, enhancing situational awareness and enabling proactive decision-making. Automated systems will further improve safety, reduce human error, and support environmental sustainability by ensuring compliance with emission regulations and energy efficiency standards. 

Similarly, crew welfare remains a top priority for Sallaum Lines. By incorporating NexusWave’s enhanced connectivity, crew members will not have to put their lives on hold while working onboard. With uninterrupted digital access, crew can stay in touch with their families and friends, supporting their emotional and mental well-being throughout their time at sea. This aligns with the company’s ongoing pursuits to promote better mental health, reduce isolation, and improve the quality of life for seafarers. 

In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being), Sallaum Lines is also placing greater emphasis on regulated rest hours and mental health support. Our efforts aim to foster a healthier work-life balance by leveraging technology to monitor fatigue, guarantee compliance with rest requirements, and create a supportive onboard environment. 

Moreover, the deployment of a fleetwide learning and development platform will empower seafarers with access to educational resources and training materials, encouraging continuous professional growth and career development. Through these initiatives, we are investing in the long-term well-being, motivation, and safety of maritime professionals.
