The services are leveraged on a THOR-7 Ka high-performance satellite that provides coverage across Europe and in the northern regions where Color Line operates.
Upon completion of the installation, Color Line will be able to offer full Wi-Fi coverage on its vessels by the first quarter of next year.
Telenor Maritime CEO Frode Støldal said: “Telenor Maritime is a mobile company at sea, placing the mobile in the centre of all we do.
“With our connectivity platform, we take full end-to-end responsibility for connecting the applications; the access layer with the on-board mobile and Wi-Fi systems; and the backhaul from Ka/Ku satellite and land-based mobile broadband from our network of global operators.

In March, Telenor Maritime secured a deal to provide and operate its high speed 4G-network on Statoil’s 34 platforms located at Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
The six-year deal has an option to extend for another four years, and will enhance communications between platforms, rigs and supply-vessels.
