CMA CGM Group, Marlink and Eutelsat have announced a partnership to deploy OneWeb LEO connectivity across CMA CGM's global maritime fleet. The solution integrates European-based Eutelsat OneWeb's Low Earth Orbit LEO services combined with existing LEO and GEO networks within a broader hybrid network architecture, enabled by Marlink's purpose-built edge platform, XChange NextGen.
Under this new, multi-year agreement, OneWeb LEO services will be deployed on more than 300 CMA CGM vessels over the next nine months. Delivered and integrated by Marlink, the solution combines multi-orbit satellite networks, introducing multiple layers of resilience and advanced capabilities to strengthen CMA CGM's global connectivity services. The deployment represents a high-availability architecture implemented at unprecedented fleet scale within the maritime sector.
CMA CGM will benefit from a high-throughput, low-latency connectivity environment to support the accelerating digital transformation of its fleet. Robust, continuous connectivity at sea enables operational efficiency, real-time data exchange, and enhanced services for crews, allowing vessels to operate with digital performance comparable to shore-based environments while supporting future digital use cases.
