Keep your offshore projects connected and moving

Provide separate network environments for vessel operations, charterer teams and contractors. We help define access rules and bandwidth priorities, then adapt configurations as assignments change. This supports project collaboration while keeping customer access controlled and vessel networks clearly separated.

Marlink helps operators assess cyber risks, identify gaps and strengthen controls supporting IMO cyber risk management within applicable safety management systems. For relevant newbuilds, we support work towards IACS UR E26 requirements through network design and security expertise, alongside applicable equipment requirements under UR E27.

Give crews access to personal communications through separately managed connectivity and Wi-Fi. Portal360 NextGen gives authorised shore teams visibility of service usage and availability, helping them review demand and plan capacity across vessels without relying on manual updates from each crew.

Support selected inspection video, technical consultations and remote troubleshooting between the vessel and shore. We size connectivity and set traffic priorities around the required video quality, upload capacity and latency, helping you involve the right expertise without making every technical discussion depend on a vessel visit.

Host suitable applications on XChange NextGen and enable secure access to cloud services. Keeping selected workloads onboard can reduce dependence on continuous shore connectivity, while managed IT services help maintain the infrastructure supporting project teams and their applications.

Support client assurance reviews with cyber risk assessments, network documentation and defined access controls. Our specialists help address applicable IMO and IACS requirements and use relevant IEC 62443 principles for OT security, with controls adapted to the vessel, connected equipment and project scope.

Run suitable applications closer to the data using onboard computing, while enabling secure access to processing resources ashore. We help design the infrastructure and connectivity around your chosen workflow, including which information needs to move immediately and which can be transferred when capacity allows.

Connect onboard survey teams with geoscientists, hydrographers and other specialists ashore for data review and technical collaboration. Prioritised communications help teams discuss acquisition quality and resolve questions during a campaign, supporting earlier decisions about the work being carried out.

Support client confidentiality and assurance expectations with controlled access, network separation and cyber risk assessments. Marlink helps strengthen the technical controls supporting applicable maritime cyber requirements and agreed project security policies, including the management of third-party access to survey systems.

Enable secure transfer of route information, progress updates and as-laid documentation between the vessel and authorised project teams. Application priorities help balance reporting with other network demands, supporting timely visibility for cable owners and contractors throughout installation and handover.

Give authorised equipment specialists controlled access to agreed systems for diagnostics and technical assistance. Separate supplier access from other onboard networks and define permissions around the work required, helping operators obtain support while retaining oversight of connections into the vessel environment.

Marlink supports cyber risk assessments, gap analysis and security controls relevant to applicable IMO and IACS requirements. We also help operators address client assurance expectations for sensitive infrastructure projects, including network documentation and access control requirements agreed for the contract.

Provide managed Wi-Fi for technicians and crew during offshore assignments. Separate user groups and traffic policies help balance personal connectivity with work applications, supporting life onboard while retaining control over capacity and access to vessel networks.

Enable secure access to work orders, technical documentation and remote support tools. Where vessel systems are integrated, data collection and connectivity can support equipment monitoring and fleet performance applications, helping shore teams use operational information to inform maintenance and efficiency decisions.

Marlink helps operators strengthen controls supporting applicable maritime cyber requirements and wind farm customer assurance reviews. Work can include risk assessments, OT network separation and access governance informed by relevant IEC 62443 principles, with the scope matched to the vessel and its contracted role.
