Marino PH took part in a significant forum organized by Inmarsat, which centered on the vital importance of reliable internet connectivity for seafarers. In today’s digital world, access to communication and information has become essential—not just for operational purposes, but also for the overall wellbeing and development of those working at sea. Reliable, safe, and affordable connectivity is now recognized as a key factor in enhancing morale, performance, and safety on board.

The forum shed light on Inmarsat’s latest innovations in maritime connectivity, showcasing how new technologies are designed to improve the seafaring experience. These advancements allow crew members to stay in touch with loved ones, access digital learning and mental health resources, and engage in continuous professional growth even while sailing across remote oceans.

The discussion featured esteemed panel speakers including Peter Schellenburger (Founder, Novomaxis), Carl King (Founder, Seafarer Social), Reno Bolivar (Founder, Marino PH), and Chief Makoi (Training Manager, PHILCAMSAT). The session was moderated by Tor Høksås, Business Development & Innovation Manager.

As the maritime industry continues to evolve, the message is clear—connectivity at sea is no longer optional; it is an integral part of seafarer welfare and the future of global shipping.
