Fjord Line is continuing its successful strategic partnership with Telenor Maritime. Today, they are extending the agreement for the entire fleet for onboard mobile services by five new years. It will be five exciting years of developing and enabling new digital technologies, giving the company more business opportunities and better passenger experience on board all four ships included in the agreement.
Speed is a strong competitive factor in the ferry business, as it is in the telecommunication industry. When Fjord Line soon puts its new super-fast catamaran FSTR into ordinary scheduled traffic between Kristiansand and Hirtshals, Tele- nor Maritime will deliver 3G/4G mobile systems. The vessel is fitted with high quality communication technology, ensuring all users a fast and reliable mobile connectivity. Telenor Maritime’s solutions provide passengers and crew with the same opportunities and user experience at sea as expected on land.
Though the cost of maritime mobile usage has received a lot of negative me-dia attention in the past, roaming prices have been sharply reduced in recent years and bill shocks are now history. Most of the Nordic countries’ major mobile operators offer maritime roaming packages with complete control on cost and usage. The result is control and cost predictability for the end customers.
