Maritime
Made for safety at sea

The ocean is one of the most demanding operating environments on earth, where weather changes without warning, and shore infrastructure disappears over the horizon. Whether you’re captain on a vessel navigating a storm, or a coastguard crew responding to a Mayday, the stakes couldn't be higher.

 

Cobham Satcom has been building maritime communications equipment for over 70 years. From the SAILOR brand, trusted on vessels around the world, to our cutting-edge multi-orbit VSAT and GMDSS systems, our solutions are purpose-built for the real-world conditions they need to perform in. 

 

Whether you operate a commercial fleet, a fishing vessel, a superyacht, or a coastguard cutter, we build safety and connectivity solutions you can depend on out there, where it matters most.

Our maritime portfolio covers the full range of safety and connectivity requirements, from GMDSS-certified distress communications to high-throughput multi-orbit VSAT systems. Click the links to explore our full portfolio of solutions

  • Commercial Shipping & Cargo

    Commercial Shipping & Cargo

    Modern commercial vessels are sophisticated operations. Beyond connectivity for voyage optimization and crew welfare, every ship must comply with international safety regulations and maintain reliable distress communication capabilities. We specialize in ultra-resilient maritime safety systems including SAILOR GMDSS terminals, bridge radios, and integrated safety networks, designed to perform under pressure, anywhere on the planet. Our multi-orbit connectivity complements this safety foundation, ensuring operators have the critical link for situational awareness, weather routing, and operational coordination.

  • Fishing & Workboats

    Fishing & Workboats

    Fishing fleets and workboats operate in remote, often punishing conditions, frequently far beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. They need compact, rugged communications equipment that works reliably in heavy seas, handles the physical demands of a working vessel, and doesn't require a dedicated technical team to maintain. Our range of maritime communications equipment is built for exactly this kind of operation: durable, dependable, and straightforward to use, with GMDSS-approved safety communications as standard.

  • Passenger & Cruise

    Passenger & Cruise

    For ferry operators, cruise lines, and other large passenger vessels, experience is as important as operational success. Alongside the operational requirements of bridge communications, safety systems, and fleet management, hundreds of passengers expect reliable internet access. Our multi-band VSAT and TVRO systems offer both the throughput and resilience that large passenger operations demand, across every route, even extending to the remote polar and expedition routes that test satellite systems to their limits.

  • Superyachts & Leisure

    Superyachts & Leisure

    The owners and guests of superyachts expect seamless connectivity, with the same quality of service they'd experience on land, delivered wherever in the world they choose to sail. At the same time, crew and captains require robust communications for safety, weather routing, and vessel management. Our systems deliver both: high-bandwidth connectivity for passengers and mission-critical reliability for the team responsible for the vessel.

  • Coastguard & Search and Rescue

    Coastguard & Search and Rescue

    When a coastguard vessel launches into deteriorating weather to reach a vessel in distress, connectivity is a critical operational tool. Crews need to stream video to shore-based command, coordinate with aviation assets, access situational data in real time, and stay reachable no matter what the sea state. Our systems are built to perform in exactly these conditions: maintaining broadband connectivity at roll angles that would defeat lesser equipment, with no human intervention required.
