The Scottish Futures Trust<\/a> has announced that thousands of tourists and travellers in the remote archipelago of Orkney (Northern Scotland) are set to benefit from “complimentary ultra-fast internet access<\/em>“, which comes after three local ferries were upgraded to harness Starlink<\/a>’s global LEO satellite<\/a> broadband network – supporting onboard WiFi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The upgrade will also benefit ferry staff via enhanced operational efficiency, including improved back-office functions, maintenance tasks, and electronic transactions. In adverse weather conditions, this online connectivity also equips ship captains with more information on weather and sea conditions during their journeys.<\/p>\n

The deployment forms part of a 9-month pilot on the Outer North Isles<\/strong> ferry services managed by Orkney Ferries<\/a>, which has been funded by the Scottish Government<\/a> (SG) and managed by the Scottish Futures Trust in collaboration with Orkney-based ISP CloudNet IT Solutions, the Orkney Islands Council, Orkney Ferries and Highlands & Islands Enterprise (HIE).<\/p>\n

The service promises to share onboard broadband speeds of “at least<\/em>” 200Mbps.<\/p>\n

Business Minister, Richard Lochhead, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe technology behind this pilot has a tremendous potential to improve travel for island commuters and visitors.<\/p>\n

By trialling advanced connectivity on our public transport, we are not only making journeys much more enjoyable and productive, but also taking a significant step towards bridging the digital divide in our rural and island communities.<\/p>\n

This initiative strengthens the Scottish Government<\/a>\u2019s commitment to ensuring that every citizen, regardless of location, can access improved public services and opportunities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Councillor Mellissa Thomson, Chair of the Board of Orkney Ferries, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSome routes can take as long as three hours, making this pilot excellent news for our passengers by providing them a seamless digital service throughout their journey, allowing them to connect with friends, family, or conduct important business.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Assuming the pilot goes well, which we expect it will (Starlink<\/a> is already being used on other maritime vessels, such as cruise ships), then we could see the same service being adopted on “other longer ferry routes across Scotland<\/em>“.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
