At Marlink, we create and deliver possibilities. Anywhere.

Scale as you grow

Built for flexibility, our platform evolves with your operations and transformation needs by effortlessly scaling IT resources across geographies, workloads, and growth stages.

Reduce your costs

We know that maintaining and evolving digital connectivity in remote sites can be expensive. Our comprehensive managed service platform consolidates all your remote IT service needs with a subscription pricing model that reduces total cost of ownership, ensuring you only pay for what you use, when you need it.

Reduce your costs

Shift the burden of maintenance to the platform, freeing your IT teams to focus on strategic priorities. Updates, patches, and infrastructure optimizations are handled behind the scenes, ensuring systems remain efficient and secure with minimal manual intervention.

Enhanced cyber security

As your operations become increasingly digitized, the risk of cyber-attacks increases, therefore keeping your mission critical systems safe is paramount, especially when you are in remote locations. Our platform protects your IT systems with 24/7 proactive threat monitoring, real time vulnerability management and encrypted communications, giving your business and team members peace of mind.

It also combines secure communications, remote diagnostics, and user access controls, ensuring your teams stay connected, your data stays protected, and your operations remain resilient wherever they are.

Industry compliant

The rise in cyber threats is increasing compliance requirements for industrial assets. The Possibility Platform ensures your systems are resilient and aligned with the latest cyber security compliance and industry standards, helping reduce threats, safeguarding your data and improving IT governance.

Rapid disaster recovery

Even with the most advanced safeguards, incidents can still sometimes happen. Through our automated backup and disaster recover capabilities, your data can be restored rapidly, limiting service disruption and giving you peace of mind wherever you are in the world.

No boundaries for your remote operations

‘Connected Anywhere’ means breaking the limitations of geography, so that no matter where your operations are, you remain part of a fully integrated network. 

Operating in isolated or hard-to-reach regions often means dealing with patchy coverage, limited bandwidth, and heightened cyber risks. Our ‘Connected Anywhere’ approach breaks these geographical barriers by intelligently managing hybrid networks enabling reliable, secure connectivity anywhere in the world.

High reliability

When you are in remote areas, it can be challenging to ensure reliable connectivity. Marlink’s Possibility Platform provides uninterrupted performance with built-in redundancies, so you can maintain business-critical processes even in the event of disruptions. This includes automated data backup and recovery, and stable cloud connectivity for faster, more secure data access at any time of the day or night.

Greater visibility

Using different IT systems and applications can slow workflows and create data silos that limit operating insights. With the Possibility Platform, you can manage your entire IT environment in one place, via a single pane of glass, improving efficiency and providing real-time performance monitoring to help you track service usage and optimise resources on the go.

AI ready 
infrastructure

The rapid pace of digital transformation means it can be a daunting task for business operators to keep up with the latest technology changes. The Possibility Platform is architected to support next-generation AI and data analytics workloads, right where they matter most: at the edge. Whether you're deploying machine learning models for predictive maintenance, analysing onboard sensor data in real-time, or running digital twins, our platform provides the compute power, data pipelines, and secure infrastructure to make it happen.

Accelerate digital 
transformation

In today’s increasingly digitised world, keeping up to date with innovation is critical to maintain competitiveness. Our platform ensures IT application upgrades or service updates can be rolled out rapidly over-the-air (OTA), in any location, reducing security risks and keeping your team ahead of the innovation curve.

Advance your
digital transformation

The XChange ecosystem is the bedrock of vessel digitalisation and hybrid connectivity integration, empowering your entire onboard IT systems. XChange comprises a complete portfolio of future-proof solutions, including the integration of multiple corporate networks with the highest security. It supports total and integrated onboard network and IT management with robust cyber security.

Secure and segregate
your onboard networks 

Define and set your multi-stage firewall rules and enhanced filters from shore to optimise your bandwidth usage and deploy your cyber security policies. Segregate your onboard IT infrastructure into multiple networks and safely connect with HQ, independent of the available broadband technology on board.

Manage data
and share and sync files across the fleet 

Share and synchronise data and files of any size and type between ship and shore. Let your corporate systems exchange their data hassle-free in an automatised way and integrate an onboard intranet to ensure your staff on board has access to the latest corporate documents available.

Remotely control IT equipment onboard from anywhere 

XChange integrated Universal Remote Access enables secure, network-independent access to all connected devices, allowing IT administrators to manage equipment on board regardless of the ship connectivity and from any remote location, anywhere in the world.

Support crew
safety and wellbeing

XChange facilitates a full suite of crew welfare solutions, so crew can keep in touch with family, use the internet as they do at home and access training, telemedicine and onboard entertainment.

We provide all the information you need to monitor usage, facilitate rebilling and eliminate manual data extraction. Prepaid internet and telephony solutions are simple, flexible and affordable, while crew connectivity can be easily managed and policies set over separated crew and corporate networks so that corporate traffic always remains prioritised.

Type Approved
supporting your compliance

Marlink's XChange platform has been granted new E27 Type Approval certification, confirming it meets the requirements of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and is fully compliant.

Upcoming IACS regulations dictate that from July 2024, new builds must use only certified equipment from certified suppliers. Under the Unified Requirement (UR E27), end-users must demonstrate that systems are secured and hardened by third-party equipment suppliers as well as meeting additional requirements for cyber resilience of onboard systems and equipment. A parallel rule, UR E26 targets the ship as a collective entity for cyber resilience and covers five key aspects: equipment identification, protection, attack detection, response and recovery.

Thanks to this Type Approval from global classification society Bureau Veritas, our customers can demonstrate compliance with E27 while being confident that XChange meets the highest standards of safety, reliability and performance. 

Further, vessel managers and operators will need to define and implement IT policies across all networks and apply measures to each based on where the data lands. These include managing individual devices using endpoint protection, network level security through unified threat management and proactive threat remediation, all services offered from inside the Marlink network.

Proactive monitoring
and alerts from shore

The shore-side counterpart to XChange is Portal360, Marlink's free-to-access self-admin tool. Delivering subscription info, dashboard monitoring and real-time vessel position info.
