“promoting the interests of Cyprus Shippingand furthering the reputation of the Cyprus flag”

Exploring the current and future trends in the maritime communications industryAdonis Violaris

Chairman ICT Sub Committee – Cyprus Shipping Chamber

• Established in January 1989 by 17 Members • Today: 155 Member-Companies

• Shipowning• Shipmanagement• Chartering• Shipping-related

• 2300 Ships - 47 Million Gross Tons Owned, Managed or Operated from Cyprus

• Among the largest Shipping Associations Globally!

• 11 Companies have 236 VSAT Terminals on • their vessels

Cyprus Shipping Chamber Overview

• Demand of transferring high amounts of data to and from the vessels• Inmarsat price increase for narrowband terminals over the last 2 years made it

almost unbearable for the ship operators to retain this technology, making the switch to a broadband terminal the only option

• Increasing pressure on ship operators to provide a better overview about the vessel’s operation: cargo status and containers temperature, fleet tracking and reporting with real time updates, bunker fuel consumption, paperless vessel, etc.

• Safety and other regulatory requirements increasing the need for connectivity at sea with average data consumption growing rapidly

• New enterprise applications require higher bandwidth, VPN, Intranet, etc.• Crew Welfare - the need to have internet Cafés onboard. Maritime Labour

Convention (MLC) 2006 - regulatory focus on crew welfare and training• VSAT taking a larger share of the market, supported by improving VSAT coverage

and capacity supply and decreasing hardware prices

Changes in usage pattern drive the growth

Changes in the usage pattern ashore 5 years ago and now

• 91% of all people on earth have at least one mobile phone, 6.8 Bil subscriptions• 56% of people own a smart phone• 50% of mobile phone users, use mobile as their primary Internet source• 80% of time on mobile is spent inside apps• 72% of tablet owners purchase online from their tablets each week• Internet connections made via mobile devices in 2014 were 17% and expected to be

80% in 2025.• Global mobile 4G connections in 2012 are 60 Mio and expected to be 992 Mio in 2017• Number of Apps downloaded 81.5 Mio in 2014 and expected to be 310 Mio in 2016

Mobile Growth Statistics in 2014 and in the future

Internet in 2020

• 59% of travellers expect a “home away from home” experience when they are traveling.

• 61% of travellers are expecting more from hotels with regards to amenities and services now that internet prices have decreased.

• 68% of Ratings and 28% of Officers have no access to email onboard• 97% of Ratings and 86% of Officers onboard have no access to the internet

for social media, email, web surfing, etc.• While on leave and at home 39% of Ratings and 82% of Officers have daily

access to the internet

• One Operator, One Network, One Seamless Global Service• GMDSS through F77 and SATC• Still pay per MB except on XpressLink• Price hiking every year during the last 3 years• Inmarsat “Monopoly” and new acquisition: iFusion instead of Infinity?

Globe Email instead of Amos Connect? Will iFusion be the GX Service Enablement Platform (SEP) Smartbox? Is Inmarsat becoming a one stop shop? Is this what the industry wants?

• Airbus Xchange, Setel SmartBox, W-Link Shipsat, Station 711 Start@Sea, Otesat S@tGate, Dualog will still be used with the GX Platform?

• What will be the prices for GX? Indication for 256/256kbps will be the same price as what we currently pay for 128/128kbps on XpressLink for ~$2500.

Inmarsat - Pro and Contras

• High throughput satellites is a classification for communications satellites that provide at least twice, though usually by a factor of 20 or more the total throughput of a classic Fixed satellite service for the same amount of allocated orbital spectrum thus significantly reducing cost-per-bit.

• Such satellites do provide more than 100 Gbit/s of capacity, which is more than 100 times the capacity offered by a conventional Ku-band satellites.

• HTS are primarily deployed to provide broadband Internet access service (point-to-point) to regions unserved or underserved by terrestrial technologies where they can deliver services comparable to terrestrial services in terms of pricing and bandwidth.

• Industry analysts at Northern Sky Research believe that high throughput satellites will supply at least 1.34 TBps of capacity by 2020 and thus will be a driving power for the global satellite backhaul market which is expected to triple in value – jumping from the 2012 annual revenue of about $800 million to $2.3 billion by 2021.

High throughput satellite - HTS

• Anik F2 (July 2004)• Thaicom 4 (August 2005)• Spaceway-3 (August 2007)• WINDS (February 2008)• KA-SAT (December 2010)• Yahsat Y1A (April 2011)• ViaSat-1 (October 2011)• Yahsat Y1B (April 2012)• EchoStar XVII (July 2012)• HYLAS 2 (July 2012)• Astra 2E (July 2013)• O3b satellite constellation (June 2013)• Inmarsat Global Xpress constellation (2015)• Intelsat Epic (2015)

List of high throughput satellites

• Airbus Defence & Space and Marlink are “again” for sale. What does this mean for the maritime industry? Is it going to be a new name only?

• The maritime VSAT world is changing radically, soon. Are your Ku Band antennas Ka Band compatible? Can Iridium Next be the solution you are looking for? Choose the appropriate system for your needs.

• Take into consideration the new regulations that are coming into the market e.g. e-navigation in 2020. Will your ship to shore applications require higher bandwidth?

• Are you ready to go for higher bandwidth and for HTS? Is Crew Welfare a good reason to move to higher bandwidth and unlimited data?

• Ship operators need to educate themselves which technology they should use before they commit themselves in 2-3 years contracts.

Current and Future Considerations

Next month, the start of a new future ashore….
