Inmarsat and SSI-Monaco announce alliance with Yacht Club de Monaco

Inmarsat, the world leader in satellite communications, and its regional partner SSI-Monaco have signed a strategic agreement with the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) to deliver Inmarsat services for superyachts in the region.

The agreement was signed by Bernard D’Alessandri, General Secretary of the Yacht Club de Monaco which is under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II.

Signing on behalf of SSI-Monaco  Dr. Ilhami Aygun , President & CEO said: “This cooperation will enable the superyachts of Monaco to benefit from the truly great performance of Inmarsat’s new Fleet Xpress service.   Together with the Yacht Club de Monaco, we are defining tomorrow’s standards for maritime communications; making Monaco ‘The Capital of Yachting’.”

YCM will also provide SSI-Monaco and Inmarsat with access to its La Belle Classe Academy to provide captains, teams and members with specialist training and presentations on the future of satellite communications, systems and cyber security.

In addition to running a number of training courses at YCM during the year, SSI-Monaco and Inmarsat have also been appointed as the official supplier of simulator and Inmarsat software to YCM’s La Belle Classe Academy.

On behalf of Inmarsat Maritime, Senior Director, Large Yacht and Passenger, Rob Myers said: “We are delighted to work in collaboration with SSI-Monaco on this strategic agreement with YCM, which will help us to provide a global and secure service for the Monaco superyacht cluster.”

Following its recent in-depth survey of connectivity on superyachts and a series of round table events with superyacht skippers and operators in Europe and USA, Inmarsat is developing its Fleet Xpress services with the flexibility required to meet the specific superyacht requirements.

To continue this process, YCM will create a steering committee of captains to provide feedback to SSI-Monaco and Inmarsat on the global use of satellite communications assisting in the continuing evolution of Inmarsat products for superyachts.

The agreement was signed at the Rendez vous de Cluster Yachting Monaco event held during the Globe Series; the new name for the IMOCA1  Championship, and a qualifier for the Vendée Globe2. Sailed in the IMOCA Open 60’s , the race covers 1300 nautical miles around the Mediterranean, starting and finishing in Monaco.

SSI-MONACOSAT (partner of Inmarsat) will provide the communications for the Monaco Globes Series

1st Monaco Globe Series

1-8 June 2018

IMOCAS DISEMBARK IN MONACO
Official teaser video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iEBODnTpXg&t=2s

With IMOCA class and Race Committee representatives and skippers in Monaco to see the facilities, the Yacht Club de Monaco took full advantage to unveil details of the Monaco Globe Series, a qualifier for the next Vendée Globe.

Being organised by the Yacht Club de Monaco from 1-8 June 2018, it is the first non-stop double-hander offshore race around the Western Mediterranean and will depart 3rd June.

As these boats rarely come to the Med, the event will start with a two-day prologue in the form of runs or fleet races on an inshore course so sailing fans can see them in action. “Four years after the inauguration of our new building, the Yacht Club de Monaco intends to ramp up its sailing policy, to give it a new international dimension, with major events like the Monaco Globe Series. In line with our Club’s missions, and part of Monaco’s Capital of Yachting ambitions, we want to play our part in the Principality’s appeal as a destination,” explains YCM General Secretary, Bernard d’Alessandri.

Unprecedented route round the Western Mediterranean

On a 1,300nm course round emblematic landmarks in the Western Mediterranean (Sardinia, Sicily and Balearic Islands), the Monaco Globe Series offers a sprint comparable to the 110m hurdles, with obstacles like the Strait of Bonifacio, not to mention all the vessels from fishing boats to pleasure boats and cargo ships, always very numerous at this time of year. Teams will need to be extra vigilant, with back-to-back manoeuvres likely, and expect a range of weather conditions. Four days and four nights of sailing look set to be very intense!

10 boats on the start

Although the closing date for registrations is not until 1st April 2016, six boats have already confirmed their participation.

Leading the field is Pierre Casiraghi, Yacht Club de Monaco Vice-President and the man behind the project, sailing with Boris Herrmann on Malizia II. “It’s a real pleasure for us to host such exceptional boats and organise an event like this which I know will leave its mark on our Club. It’s important to inspire our youngsters by hosting meetings like this one, with an educational aspect to it. We also want everyone to discover the Mediterranean and would like to thank our friends, the clubs Circolo della Vela Sicilia, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and Club Maritimo Mahon who spontaneously agreed to be involved with this race,” commented Pierre Casiraghi. He recalled that for the last ten years, the YCM has helped run the Palermo- Montecarlo, a 500nm offshore race organised by the Circolo della Vela Sicilia.

“We are delighted to be associated with this new race. And I am very impatient to see this fleet in the Gulf of Mondello. Last year for the Palermo-Montecarlo was the first time we saw Malizia II led by Boris. With two wins under his belt in 2013 and 2014, Pierre may have a little advantage over the other competitors as he knows the course well, even if the route is in the opposite direction to the Palermo-Montecarlo,” said Agostino Randazzo, President of the Circolo della Vela Sicilia, Challenger of Record of the 36th America’s Cup.

It will also count on a new generation of rising stars like Louis Burton (Bureau Vallée) and Paul Meilhat (SMA), a strong candidate for the Vendée Globe 2020 having come 2nd in the last Transat Jacques Vabre. “The Monaco Globes Series is the first event of the championship, in the lead up to the Vendée Globe 2020 which I would love to be part of. It’s important as it is the start of the next Vendee’s history. This will be my first IMOCA race in the Mediterranean. Wind conditions are always difficult, strategy is key, particularly the Corsica passage and Sardinia; as a competitor, we’re looking at lots of manoeuvres. It’s going to be intense – it’s going to be fun!”

Alongside the sporting challenge and chance to rack up points for the Vendée Globe, the event is a great public relations opportunity, being in the Mediterranean, for contestants like Paul Meilhat (SMA) and Fabrice Amedeo (Newrest – Art et Fenêtres).

Women will also be on the start with Alexia Barrier (4myPlanet), a newcomer to the IMOCA class, and Isabelle Joschke, represented by Alain Gauthier. “Isabelle is a great believer in diversity and has her sights set on the Vendée Globe 2020. We are also delighted to be coming to the Mediterranean on a tactically difficult route. I don’t know yet if I will be at her side but very happy to come to Monaco.”

Mediterranean in the spotlight

Keen to share this unique event with the maximum number of people, SSI-MonacoSat (partner of Inmarsat) is providing its satellite video and voice communication service via the Inmarsat satellite network free of charge to teams so they can broadcast photos and videos. It is a great opportunity, not only for them to share their race and the beauty of the course, but also testify to the state of the marine environment. The course traverses the Pelagos Sanctuary and skippers are likely to see many marine mammals and cetaceans that call the Med home.

DEPARTURE OF THE YERSIN FOR A 3 YEAR JOURNEY

 

YERSIN DEPARTS MONACO ONBOARD WITH COMPLETE SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTION PROVIDED BY SSI-MONACOSAT PARTNER OF INMARSAT

SSI-Monaco together with Inmarsat Global Government is honored to provide all satellite communication requirements for the 2017-2020 Monaco Explorations Campaign under the direction of HSH Albert II of Monaco. This ambitious oceanographic research project will take place upon the Yersin, an exceptional vessel designed for adventure, science and education.

The 2017-20 Monaco Explorations campaign, which is backed by the Principality of Monaco and personally supported by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, aims to raise awareness of the state of the world’s oceans. The principality is making a travelling research platform available to a community of researchers from all over the world for a three-year circumnavigation of the oceans with the first scheduled stop being the island of Madeira in the Atlantic.

SSI-Monacosat in partnership with Inmarsat, is providing its high-speed global broadband solution – Global Xpress – which will enable scientists working on Monaco Explorations – onboard the 76.6m vessel ‘Yersin’ – to share data, images and videos with experts around the world throughout the three-year mission.

The scientists will undertake an assortment of tests looking at environmental DNA, the effects of global warming on marine viruses and the wealth of biodiversity around submarine mountains.  The aim is to identify the key factors impacting the health of the marine environment and suggest remedies.

SSI-Monacosat including Dr. Ilhami AYGUN, President & CEO of SSI-Monaco, was present for this event and said: ”As SSI, we are proud to be involved in such prestigious project by providing all satellite communications for the Yersin. The expedition renews the great tradition of Monaco for exploring the seas and with the latest Inmarsat technology, we provided the most high speed, modern and reliable technology of mobile satellite communications  in only few months thanks to the work of our team and the Inmarsat Global Government team.”

Andrew Sukawaty, Chairman of Inmarsat, who also attended the launch, said:  “Monaco Explorations is an ambitious project that aims to shed light on some of the many ills blighting our oceans. In order to avoid further environmental damage – and to repair some of that already caused – it is vital to conduct in-depth research, raise public awareness and establish innovative ways of interacting with our oceans.

“We are proud that our communications solutions have been identified as the most effective and reliable for such a pioneering expedition and we look forward to supporting the project throughout its three-year lifespan.”

Inmarsat partner SSI-Monacosat has equipped Yersin with two Global Xpress G2X Antennas, a Fleet Broadband FB500 L band antenna as a backup, Inmarsat C, a BGAN terminal and two IsatPhone 2 handsets. The multiple communications systems on board will operate over Inmarsat’s Global Xpress network that delivers seamless, high-speed broadband around the world, and will ensure that the vessel can maintain contact with land at all times with a 99.9% reliability.

Yahlive’s extension plan through MonacoSAT

 

 

CEO of Yahlive, Sami Boustany tells in EUROMEDIA Jan/Feb 2016: “Right now, we are close to maximum capacity and a very high fill-rate.

 

 We already have an agreement in place with one of our parent partners, SES, for additional capacity at the orbital slot. MonacoSAT gives us a collaboration deal on capacity for our expansion plan.”

 

“MonacoSAT is at 52 East and so the same dishes can see our satellite and MonacoSAT. This gives us redundancy, as well as expansion capacity. No satellite operator wants to be 100 per cent full. We all like having some expansion capacity and this we now have. It means we can continue our growth strategy, and meet clients’ demand,” adds Boustany.
