"If you are in shipping, you either have Nowhere Networks or you must get it – now!"

Seamus McCarville Irish Ferries - Nowhere Networks

“If you’re in the shipping industry, Nowhere Networks is a game-changer. Irish Ferries CIO, Seamus McCarville—a recognized leader in advancing industry connectivity—expresses strong confidence in Nowhere Networks’ solutions. According to McCarville, “If you want to maximize your connectivity at the lowest possible cost, the only option is to combine radio-based/land-based connectivity and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) technology.” He notes that the market’s leading providers in these domains are Nowhere Networks and Starlink.

Since 2020, Irish Ferries has leveraged Nowhere Networks’ connectivity solutions across its entire fleet of seven vessels. These solutions support not only passengers but also crew and administrative systems, meeting high connectivity demands with data usage reaching up to 20 TB per ship per month on the busiest ferries.

“If you‘re in the market for low latency, high capacity and exceptionally quality and uptime, the best option today is Nowhere Networks’ solution. You get the best of both worlds. There is no way to beat them with any other technology at any point when the ship is in their network. Nowhere Networks have a significantly lower cost per TB than any other solution, so we only use the best secondary option, which is Starlink, when necessary. Having been a satisfied customer of Nowhere Networks since 2020 I can honestly say that I believe all shipping lines in Europe should be Nowhere Network customers. I can see no reason not to work with them, given that they can solve all connectivity needs, including onboard systems, traffic control and LEO, and they do so at a price no-one else in the market can match.”
