The International Maritime Organization (IMO) defined the diagram according to which all vessels should be equipped with ECDIS by 2018, and all new vessels should be initially equipped with a system. Sharing of the unique satellite solution Current At Sea of Orange and electronic cartography from MARIS allows to equip all navigation systems to the specified term.

The solution Current At Sea started in 2012 is the first and only offer including VSAT/ECDIS tandem on the basis of the fixed monthly payment. As service is offered in the form of a set on a flat fare and based on own IP network Orange, clients pay monthly fixed cost without the volume of voice traffic or data transmission. The new offer also includes the MARIS Voyage Decision Support (VDS) system. The VDS system gives the exact weather forecast and other data necessary for safe and optimal on costs and time of passing of a route. A system allows to reach economy on fuel in the amount of 4-8%.

Steinar Gundersen, the deputy chief executive of MARIS, noted: "The combination of MARIS ECDIS and VSAT technologies from Orange - the powerful tool which meets the requirements of IMO ECDIS and allows to optimize a swimming route and also ensures the increased safety and reduces costs at the expense of model of monthly payment. In lack of capital costs a system shows the real efficiency, selecting faster route and allowing to reduce fuel consumption".

Network condition

MPLS- the network Orange allows courts to refuse open Internet access for benefit of safe connection to business and critical corporate applications. The VSAT technology provides connection speed to 8 Mbps, both for acceptance, and for data transmission depending on needs of the customer.

"The solution Current At Sea allows to rethink business processes in terms of security, efficiency and costs, - Nicolas Roy, the head of department of network solutions, Orange Business Services noted. – At implementation of digital navigation and the platform of corporate communications customers win due to complex approach and model a monthly payment system. It not only provides fast reduction of sea vessels in compliance with the operating regulation, but also brings notable benefit to business".
