| CapRock Communications signed a three-year contract with BW to deploy CapRocks SeaAccess service onboard BWs fleet of approximately 100 vessels including very large crude carriers (VLCCs) and liquefied petroleum gas carriers (LPGCs), CapRock announced June 25. CapRock, acquired by Harris Corp. in May, will provide the fleet with voice over IP, access to the corporate network and real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities to sustain communications between vessels and BWs Singapore and Oslo offices. BW also will leverage CapRocks SafePass Web content-filtering solution and AssetTrax asset-tracking solution. The agreement follows the completion of a nine-month pilot program where SeaAccess services and capabilities were tested on the BW fleet against other offerings. We are always looking to improve our communications technology and were exploring the option of implementing more corporate applications onboard our vessels. The other motivation is our desire to attract and retain seafarers by offering home comfort such as Internet broadband services for them to keep in touch with their friends and families onshore. When we evaluated the service and support capabilities available with VSAT, CapRock was chosen based on its past experience in the maritime market, BWs General Manager of Information Technology Geraldine Pang said in a statement. Financial details of the contract were not disclosed. |
