The Parlevliet & van der Plas fleet has opted for Inmarsat’s fully managed bonded service NexusWave, offering with high speeds, unlimited data, and built-in cybersecurity to meet the company’s connectivity requirements for crew, operations and compliance.
Inmarsat Maritime and Parlevliet & van der Plas Group have signed an agreement to install Inmarsat NexusWave on twelve factory vessels.
This connectivity upgrade is designed to meet the upcoming fisheries monitoring requirements that will soon apply to additional territories. For instance, from the first quarter of 2026, large trawlers operating in Scottish waters are required to provide CCTV footage of their activities to ensure sustainable and responsible fishing practices. NexusWave will facilitate PP Group’s future compliance thanks to its exceptional aggregated speeds, with recent real-world tests demonstrating download speeds up to 330–340 megabits per second, and upload speeds up to 70–80 Mbps.
Providing unlimited data and global coverage, Inmarsat’s NexusWave enables crew to keep in touch with home wherever the vessels are operating. This fully managed, bonded connectivity service also features secure-by-design infrastructure and segregated networks. This is designed to enable crew to access the internet and social networks with minimal cybersecurity risk and no impact on business-critical communications.
‘As our operational requirements evolve in line with regulations, we increasingly rely on secure, reliable and high-speed connectivity – and NexusWave’s impressive speeds will facilitate our compliance with government legislations,’ said PP Group’s IT director Peter Remmelzwaal.
‘At the same time, our commitment to crew welfare remains steadfast, and the ability of NexusWave to provide personnel with unlimited data while they serve at sea is a significant advantage.’
NexusWave is designed to meet the needs of Inmarsat’s customers and will be enhanced with the integration of the next-generation ultra-high capacity ViaSat-3 Ka-band network. This will further boost aggregated upload and download speeds.
‘PP Group puts crew at the heart of its operations, and this is perfectly demonstrated by its decision to install NexusWave across its fleet, providing home-like internet experience for crew,’ commented Inmarsat Maritime sales manager Cas Stoop.
‘Moreover, thanks to its high speeds, global coverage, and built-in enterprise-grade cybersecurity, NexusWave provides the connected confidence that companies like PP Group require as their operations and compliancy requirements become more complex.’
