Marlink has made a move in bringing state-of-the-art LEO based services to its maritime customer base. It is launching a new hybrid connectivity service – Sealink Multi-LEO. It will deliver a single, fully managed data allowance across the Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellite networks, with future LEO networks to be added when they become available. Marlink announced the new service launch, March 3.

Sealink Multi-LEO can be deployed on a vessel-by-vessel basis or configured with optional pooling models that allow data allowances to be shared across multiple vessels within a fleet. This flexibility enables operators to align connectivity consumption with operational profiles while maintaining a consistent service experience across vessels. Data packages ranging from 500 gigabytes to 10 terabytes are available.

Marlink said the launch of Sealink Multi-LEO reflects the growing role of LEO connectivity in supporting maritime digitalization, operational efficiency, and crew welfare. Marlink will deliver carrier-agnostic hybrid network solutions from its Possibility Platform enabling centralised visibility, policy control and orchestration across connectivity, cyber security, cloud and IT services. Sealink Multi-LEO’s orchestration is designed to dynamically select networks based on performance, coverage and availability.

“Demand for LEO connectivity continues to grow as shipowners look for higher performance and greater predictability at sea. With Sealink Multi-LEO, we are bringing together leading LEO networks into a single, fully managed service model that simplifies operations while delivering the performance and resilience our customers expect. Built on Marlink’s long experience of network orchestration, Sealink Multi-LEO serves as a new generation of connectivity, ensuring LEO services are delivered in a way that is operationally consistent, secure,” Tore Morten Olsen, president Maritime, Marlink, said in a statement.
