People travelling on CalMac<\/a>‘s (Caledonian MacBrayne) ferries, which serve the Islands and Peninsulas on Scotland’s west coast, look set to benefit from faster onboard WiFi<\/a> internet connectivity after Clarus Networks secured a major 12-month contract to provide Starlink<\/a> (LEO satellite<\/a>) connectivity to the UK’s largest ferry operator.<\/p>\n

The contract, awarded via Public Contracts Scotland, will see Clarus deliver a “pooled Starlink<\/a> data service<\/em>” across CalMac\u2019s operational fleet, offering high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity designed to enhance operational performance, crew welfare, and passenger experience on board.<\/p>\n

Operating 29 routes to more than 50 destinations across 200 miles of Scotland\u2019s west coast, CalMac\u2019s fleet completes around 136,000 sailings each year – often providing a vital lifeline service to remote communities and supporting Scotland\u2019s tourism sector. In such a geographically dispersed and operationally demanding environment, resilient connectivity is vital.<\/p>\n

Chris Schonhut, Director of Maritime and Energy at Clarus Networks, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to partner with CalMac to enhance connectivity across their fleet. Starlink<\/a>\u2019s LEO satellite<\/a> network offers huge potential for improving maritime operations, and our Aavora platform ensures it can be managed simply and effectively at scale. This contract is a great example of how technology can support critical infrastructure and communities in remote parts of Scotland.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Gammie, IT Director at Calmac, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cReliable connectivity is a foundational element of the Technology & Digital infrastructure to run a modern ferry service that supports both crew operations and customer needs. Clarus\u2019 experience in maritime deployments and their fleet-wide connectivity management capabilities will help us deliver a better-connected service across the ferry network.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, the announcement doesn’t provide any sort of timeline for the deployment, although it’s worth noting that many of their Ferries do already have onboard WiFi<\/a> (i.e. it may only be the satellite<\/a> backhaul that needs an upgrade to Starlink for passenger connectivity to benefit).<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, Clarus will deliver:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Starlink satellite connectivity for each vessel, using a pooled data model to maximise efficiency and minimise cost across the fleet.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Configuration and technical support for all Starlink hardware and associated systems.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Access to Aavora, Clarus\u2019 proprietary Starlink fleet and terminal management platform, designed to give CalMac complete visibility and control of all vessel connections in one place.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fleet-wide pooled data – allowing dynamic bandwidth allocation across all vessels, ensuring that high-demand routes receive additional capacity when needed, reducing costs and enhancing overall service quality to crew and customers.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Proactive monitoring and 24\/7 support to ensure service continuity and optimise performance in real time<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
