COMSYS is pleased to announce the 2nd Edition of the COMSYS Maritime VSAT Report.   This latest study offers complete and detailed coverage of the maritime VSAT market following four months of intensive research and over 130 interviews with VSAT operators, MSS service providers, industry insiders, maritime experts, hardware vendors and maritime industry associations.  The report provides information on the current level of VSAT penetration into the stabilised antenna service business covering the current and prospective stabilised antenna manufacturers, market shares of the major operators, systems in use and market segmentation.  Distinction is drawn between the oil & gas and maritime segments of the market.

 

Building on the already-extensive knowledge base within COMSYS, we have extended our maritime VSAT database with details of vessels and rigs in service with more than 85 operators worldwide.  The report draws on this data to offer an unrivalled view of the how this market has developed over the past five years and the trends and demands that are driving it forward today.

 

Almost 120 pages containing 41 tables and 84 charts and figures provide a statistical analysis of the service market by number of vessels in service and revenues, both historically and forecast over the next five years.  As always, COMSYS bases its information on primary research and builds from the ground up.  The COMSYS Maritime VSAT Report is provided in PDF form and includes:

  • Current VSAT penetration by operator and maritime segment type by number of vessels and revenues.

  • Competing technologies to VSAT.

  • Analysis of the stabilised VSAT antenna manufacturers, production, technology trends, pricing, market shares and revenues.

  • Size of the maritime market segmented as O&G Rigs & Platforms; High-End Commercial; Mainstream Commercial; Fishing; Leisure; Military & Government; and, Inland Waterways.

  • Available and addressable markets for stabilised VSAT services.

This compares our forecasts for 2008 and 2009 from the Maritime VSAT Report, 1st Edition compared with what the market actually did:

 

 

In summary, our forecasts for the number of vessels in service were accurate for 2009 at the Most Likely scenario by 2% and by 9% for the Optimistic Scenario. For revenues, both Most Likely and Optimistic forecasts were within a 5% margin of error. For 2008 Most Likely forecasts for both vessels and revenues were within 5% of actual results and the Optimistic scenarios were within 1%!

  

Customers have already commented on the uniqueness of The Maritime VSAT Report - there has been nothing else like it to date.  The maritime communications niche has long been extremely small and specialised, dominated by the L-band MSS providers except in high-bandwidth or mission-critical industry segments.  However, the past two years have seen VSAT services break-out from the oil & gas, cruise and ferry sub-segments into the mainstream commercial, fishing and leisure segments, challenging the dominance of L-band.  Until now, there has been no definitive research on this high-margin business and therefore no true visibility on how demand for broadband at sea is growing.
