Maritime Communications Partner (MCP) becomes Telenor Maritime

Telenor Maritime has continued to grow as a major global mobile operator at sea with a mobile-centric solution, enabling a digital business transformation in the maritime verticals offshore, cruise, ferry, and fisheries. We are building mobile 4G coverage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and are strengthening our global presence. Our new name reflects the changing balance of our business, allowing us to be more relevant to our customers within the markets we operate.

“Telenor Maritime approaches connectivity differently to other maritime communications providers – essentially, we are a mobile operator at sea,” says Frode Støldal, CEO of Telenor Maritime. “We use the same skills we’ve developed in Telenor as one of the largest onshore mobile operators to develop our maritime solutions with mobile devices as the focal point, rather than designing them solely from a satellite, VSAT or Wi-Fi perspective. Our rebrand from MCP to Telenor Maritime reflects our associations to innovation and connectivity, showing that we enable the best mobile experience at sea.”

The new name comes into effect immediately and will be implemented in the company’s products, services, and communications throughout 2016.
