ENPASA Advances Digital Operations And Crew Communications With Inmarsat Nexuswave Deployment

Shipowner Empresa Naviera Petrolera Atlántica SA (ENPASA), based in Buenos Aires, has deployed Inmarsat's NexusWave service across its tankers Recoleta and Caleta Rosario, strengthening its commitment to digital transformation and crew welfare. ENPASA, a longtime Inmarsat customer since 2001, chose NexusWave to meet the growing digital demands of modern maritime operations.

With NexusWave, ENPASA has achieved permanent and stable connectivity and a high-performance communications experience throughout its voyages. The company has seen improved updates of electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), as well as faster email delivery and receipt. Additionally, the upgrade has significantly enhanced onboard experiences for seafarers, enabling them to maintain high-quality voice and video communications with family and friends - a key factor in supporting crew wellbeing and meeting rising expectations for onboard connectivity.

Sergio Iglesias, Technical Manager at ENPASA, stated that reliable connectivity is crucial for safe and efficient vessel operations. The company is pleased with the speed of NexusWave's implementation, largely due to the local availability of equipment and the expertise provided by Ingenieros Electrónicos Asociados SRL (IEA), the company's local partner in executing the project.

Cristian Troncoso, Operations Manager at IEA, emphasized the importance of reliable connectivity for both vessel operations and crew welfare, adding that ENPASA's positive experience demonstrates the value of high-capacity maritime connectivity. Jose Arias, Global Account Manager at Inmarsat Maritime, highlighted the need for connectivity that can support the evolving requirements of modern maritime operations while offering a home-like experience for seafarers.

He thanked IEA for its contribution to the project as Inmarsat Maritime's trusted local NexusWave partner.
