[SatNews] This donation goes directly to the training vessel...

Global satellite communications provider Marlink has donated Sealink™ VSAT system hardware to the Norwegian maritime training vessel MS Gann. The vessel provides training programs to prepare school leavers for a career at sea. Marlink’s Sealink™ services will provide MS Gann with up to four voice channels and always-on bandwidth to support an extensive range of applications, enabling students and teachers to stay in touch via the web-based learning system ‘It’s learning’. In addition, the services will ensure students are able to stay in touch with family and friends while away at sea. Marlink supplies a comprehensive portfolio of satellite communications solutions ranging from its own Sealink™, WaveCall™ and @SEAdirect™ VSAT systems to MSS systems Inmarsat FleetBroadband, Iridium and Thuraya.
