CapRock's High Five — It's All Greek!


CapRock Communications, a global provider of satellite communications to remote and harsh environments, today announced it has secured a 60 month fleet contract with Diamlemos Shipping Corporation for nine C-band installations in cooperation with its Greek partner Setel. This is the fifth contract for CapRock and Setel in the Greek market in six months. The five contracts are based on the SeaAccess Communications service, CapRock’s always-on VSAT solution designed specifically for the maritime market.

CapRock will be installing its SeaAccess service onboard nine Diamlemos vessels, the most recent Greek shipping company to sign a long-term contract. Diamlemos operates bulk carriers and oil tankers that require global coverage for their multi-region trade routes and ongoing access to the corporate network.

Since launching SeaAccess Communications in 2007, CapRock has won several maritime contracts with dominant fleet owners around the globe. Within the last year, the company has placed specific attention on the Greek market as it holds significant opportunities and has one of the largest shipping fleets in the world.

CapRock’s success to-date is supported by its unique partnership with the Setel Group. As an independent technology company, Setel has tremendous experience in the industry and understands the day-to-day operational challenges of vessel owners and operators.

In addition to Diamlemos, CapRock and Setel have secured SeaAccess contracts with other leading shipping companies including Remi Maritime.
