Wärtsilä ANCS’s new floating laboratory, AHTI, and its shore operations, will utilise Inmarsat Maritime’s Fleet Xpress connectivity to support the data exchange for advanced technology testing and the ship’s day to day operations.

AHTI uses seamless, high-speed and reliable connectivity to create a seaborne environment where customers can test Wärtsilä ANCS’s own technologies and its technology partners’ solutions, all of which aims to reduce the environmental impact of commercial shipping. Through the programme, Wärtsilä ANCS tests new technologies to offer real-time insights into a vessel’s performance, energy use and the impact on commercial shipping.
