Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “OSG”), a
leading provider of energy transportation services, is set to mark
a pioneering moment in the Jones Act and US Flag industries by
equipping all vessels in its fleet with Space X’s Starlink
satellite internet service. Since the introduction to the market of
Starlink’s Global Maritime service earlier this year, OSG’s IT
department has worked to substantially complete installation of
Starlink equipment on every vessel in the fleet of OSG and ATC,
with full installation expected by year end. OSG marks this
advancement as part of the Company’s commitment to a new era of
seamless connectivity for seafarers on board all OSG vessels.
The availability of Starlink allows seafarers to enjoy
high-speed internet access even in the most remote maritime
locations, staying connected with loved ones via video calls,
accessing streaming services and social media, and attending to
personal matters while at sea.
Patrick O’Halloran, OSG’s Chief Operations Officer, shared his
enthusiasm for this transformational development stating, "Our crew
identified this as important, and we listened. The goal of the
Starlink install was to enhance vessel communications and improve
our crew’s ability to connect with family and friends. Our
seafarers are the greatest asset we possess, and we are glad to
support them on this. Our investment in the Starlink technology
represents a major step forward in our industry and highlights our
commitment to improving the quality of life for our crewmembers
while they are at sea.”
“The implementation of this service will further position OSG as
a forward-thinking organization in the maritime industry,” Mr.
O’Halloran continued. “In addition to the benefits that Starlink
provides to OSG’s crew, the availability of reliable, high-speed
internet access while our ships are travelling across the globe
will permit seafarers to better manage their vessels and
communicate with shoreside staff.”
Starlink is widely acclaimed for its constellation of low-level
satellites that provide internet service access in even the most
remote and challenging environments.
