Inmarsat, a privately owned company and subsidiary of Viasat, is headquartered in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1979 and employing approximately 1,790 individuals, it reported $2.2B in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in enterprise connectivity services, functioning as a global mobile satellite communications provider that connects people, organizations, and places through its networks.
On July 9, 2026, Laurie Eve, Inmarsat Maritime’s VP Global Merchant Sales, stated that cyber resilience has become as fundamental as connectivity in the increasingly connected maritime industry, asserting that shipowners and operators must now trust the digital infrastructure supporting critical operations at sea. Previously, on July 7, 2026, Hapag-Lloyd committed to deploying Inmarsat’s NexusWave connectivity platform across its entire global fleet after successful onboard testing. This agreement extends an almost 25-year relationship between the two companies and aligns with the carrier's Strategy 2030 and its broader digitalization initiatives, utilizing the fully managed connectivity service to support data-driven operations, onboard applications, and crew welfare.
