Installation & maintenance
Maritime equipment installed right the first time
Satcenter installs, commissions and maintains satellite communication and onboard IT systems on commercial vessels, offshore units and yachts. Our own engineers attend ships in ports across Europe, Türkiye and beyond, often at short notice and during tight port stays, so that your vessel sails with connectivity that works from day one.
Every project starts with a site survey or remote review of drawings, cable routes and mast space. We then plan antenna positions to avoid blockage and interference, supply certified equipment, and complete mechanical installation, cabling, network integration and commissioning in one visit wherever possible.
- Starlink Maritime and OneWeb LEO terminals
- VSAT antennas from KVH, Intellian, Cobham and KNS
- TVRO and IPTV entertainment systems
- Onboard networks, firewalls, Wi-Fi, VoIP and CCTV
What is included
From survey to 24/7 support
Site survey & planning
Antenna positioning, blockage analysis, cable routes and power requirements agreed before the vessel arrives.
Certified installation
Mechanical mounting, marine-grade cabling and rack integration carried out by manufacturer-trained engineers.
Network integration
Multi-WAN failover, VLANs for crew and business traffic, firewall rules and Wi-Fi coverage throughout the ship.
Commissioning & handover
Line-up, activation and performance tests, followed by documentation and a handover to the master and crew.
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled health checks, firmware updates and inspections that prevent failures and extend equipment life.
24/7 remote support
Round-the-clock remote diagnostics and troubleshooting, with engineers dispatched to the next port when needed.
FAQ
Installation questions
A single Starlink or OneWeb terminal is usually installed and commissioned within one working day. A VSAT antenna with full network integration typically takes one to three days, depending on mast work, cable runs and class requirements.
Yes. We prepare materials, drawings and configurations in advance so that the onboard work fits the port call. Where needed, cabling can be pre-installed and the final commissioning completed at the next port.
Our engineers regularly attend vessels in Rotterdam, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Algeciras and other major ports in Europe and the Mediterranean, and travel worldwide for fleet projects.
Yes. We service and repair existing KVH, Intellian, Cobham, KNS, Starlink and OneWeb installations, and can take over maintenance of complete onboard IT networks.
