Market

2010
CapRock
Communications,
has
secured
a 60
month
fleet
contract
with
Diamlemos
Shipping
Corporation
for
nine
C-band
installations
in
cooperation
with
its
Greek
partner
Setel.
This
is
the
fifth
contract
for
CapRock
and
Setel
in
the
Greek
market
in
six
months.
The
five
contracts
are
based
on
the
SeaAccess
Communications
service,
CapRock’s
always-on
VSAT
solution
designed
specifically
for
the
maritime
market.
CapRock
will
be
installing
its
SeaAccess
service
onboard
nine
Diamlemos
vessels,
the
most
recent
Greek
shipping
company
to
sign
a
long-term
contract.
Diamlemos
operates
bulk
carriers
and
oil
tankers
that
require
global
coverage
for
their
multi-region
trade
routes
and
ongoing
access
to
the
corporate
network.
Since
launching
SeaAccess
Communications
in
2007,
CapRock
has
won
several
maritime
contracts
with
dominant
fleet
owners
around
the
globe.
Within
the
last
year,
the
company
has
placed
specific
attention
on
the
Greek
market
as
it
holds
significant
opportunities
and
has
one
of
the
largest
shipping
fleets
in
the
world.
CapRock’s
success
to-date
is
supported
by
its
unique
partnership
with
the
Setel
Group.
As
an
independent
technology
company,
Setel
has
tremendous
experience
in
the
industry
and
understands
the
day-to-day
operational
challenges
of
vessel
owners
and
operators.
“Setel’s
services
go
hand-in-hand
with
CapRock’s
and
reinforce
the
total
service
offerings
of
both
companies,”
said
SeaAccess
Business
Development
Executive
Claus
F.
Høyer.
“Setel’s
Intelligent
Vessel
features
an
integrated
bundle
of
equipment,
software
and
quality
services
that
enable
shipping
companies
to
respond
to
the
unique
challenges
of
the
demanding
maritime
industry.
In
turn,
the
SeaAccess
service
provides
the
necessary
connectivity
for
Setel’s
services
through
a
turnkey
VSAT
solution
including
equipment,
global
service
and
24/7
help
desk
and
support.
The
result
is a
complete
ICT
solution
package
for
maritime
operations.”
In
addition
to
Diamlemos,
CapRock
and
Setel
have
secured
SeaAccess
contracts
with
other
leading
shipping
companies
including
Remi
Maritime.
“Gaining
trust
from
such
dominant
Greek
shipping
companies
is
testament
to
the
reliability
and
benefits
delivered
with
our
SeaAccess
service,”
continued
Høyer.
“We
look
forward
to
developing
new
relationships
in
the
Greek
market.”
