Business Wire
Harris CapRock Communications, a global provider of fully
managed communications for remote and harsh environments, has been
chosen by Siem Offshore to deliver turnkey Very Small Aperture
Terminal (VSAT) communications to five of its supply vessels,
located offshore in Brazil. The SeaAccess solution will enable Siem
to extend its corporate IT network and applications to its vessels.
Siem Offshore Inc. is an owner and operator of modern support
vessels for the global oil and gas service industry.
“We require a robust communications solution onboard our vessels
to support our crew and our day-to-day operations,” said Cato
Engebretsen, director of supply chain for Siem Offshore Inc. “It’s
important for our fleet to be fully connected to headquarters and
our other offices at all times, and after assessing the
capabilities of Harris CapRock and its ability to provide local
service and support in Brazil, it was the clear choice for our
team.”
Harris CapRock will deploy end-to-end VSAT communications to
enable corporate networking, Internet access, Voice over IP,
real-time monitoring and reporting, and crew morale services. All
equipment will be tested in Aberdeen, U.K., and then shipped and
installed locally in Brazil. The turnkey solution includes network
design, equipment and installation, as well as service and 24/7
support from Harris CapRock’s Customer Support Center (CSC).
The contract has the potential to be extended to an additional
four vessels. Harris CapRock was selected as Siem Offshore’s
communications partner as a result of its deep experience in
providing local service and support in Brazil, combined with its
reputation for delivering highly reliable solutions.
“The agreement with Siem Offshore’s Brazilian operations
highlights the quality communications technology that we’ve built a
solid reputation on in the market,” said Pal Jensen, president of
SeaAccess, Harris CapRock. “Our presence in Brazil continues to
grow as we broaden our systems integration services, project
management capabilities and in-region field service and support.
This partnership is a natural extension of the progress we have
made.”
