Satellite communications (SatCom) have long served as the primary method of connectivity for sea vessels. However, high costs, limited bandwidth, and unpredictable performance render SatCom an inefficient solution for routine ship-to-shore communication while in port. Neuros offers a cost-effective, high-speed alternative, enabling ships to seamlessly transition from costly satellite networks to local terrestrial data connections upon entering port.

A typical SatCom connection can cost anywhere from $0.15 to $10 per MB, quickly accumulating significant expenses for essential operational tasks like cargo updates, regulatory reporting, weather data retrieval, and crew welfare communications. With Neuros, vessels can connect at local terrestrial data rates, reducing costs by around 50% compared to SatCom. This offers a smarter, more efficient alternative for ship-to-shore connectivity while in port.

By utilising Neuros’ ship-wide connectivity solutions, fleet operators can:

• Eliminate unnecessary SatCom expenses by automatically switching to local terrestrial networks when in range.

• Ensure seamless and reliable communication for critical ship operations without the limitations of satellite bandwidth.

• Optimise commercial efficiency, allowing direct communication with charterers, agents, and port authorities without costly delays.

• Reduce cyber risk by avoiding unsecured port WiFi networks while maintaining complete operational control over data security.

Neuros offers a scalable, flexible solution that integrates effortlessly with existing onboard communication systems. Whether you need SIM-enabled routers or direct SIM connectivity, Neuros ensures your vessel remains connected, secure, and cost-efficient, transforming port connectivity into a smart financial and operational advantage.

Cybersecurity threats in the maritime industry are growing, with vessels becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks when relying on open or unsecured port WiFi networks. With Neuros, ship operators can establish a secure, private, and controlled communication environment, mitigating risks associated with third-party networks.

By utilising Neuros’ SIM-enabled connectivity, vessels can install their own Virtual Private Network (VPN) onboard, ensuring encrypted and protected communications between ship and shore. This allows seamless integration with existing onboard IT and communication systems, reducing exposure to cyber threats while maintaining operational efficiency.

For fleet operators, this means greater data security, reliable transmission of sensitive information, and reduced risk of external cyber breaches. Neuros provides a cost-effective, independent network solution that ensures your ship’s critical operations—such as cargo documentation, customs clearance, compliance reporting, and commercial negotiations—are conducted safely and without interruption.

By enabling a dedicated, secure ship-wide network, Neuros empowers vessels to fully control their digital infrastructure. This reduces their reliance on unsecured external connections and reinforces cybersecurity resilience at sea.

The cost of connectivity at sea can be staggering for fleet operators managing multiple vessels. Satellite communications (SatCom), while essential for deep-sea operations, can cost anywhere from $0.15 to $10 per MB, leading to hundreds of thousands—even millions—of dollars in annual communication expenses across an entire fleet.

With Neuros, vessels can leverage local terrestrial data rates when in port, reducing costs by up to 50% compared to SatCom. This scalable solution allows shipowners and operators to optimise connectivity across their fleets, cutting overhead expenses while maintaining seamless, secure, and reliable communications.

Scalable Savings Across the Fleet

• Single Vessel: Reduce per-port data costs by up to 50% compared to SatCom.

• 10-Vessel Fleet: Scale savings exponentially, potentially cutting communication costs by tens of thousands annually.

• 100+ Vessel Fleet: Unlock six-figure savings annually while ensuring every ship remains connected without relying on expensive satellite links.
