Norway-based maritime communications technology provider Maritime Communications Partner (MCP) has rebranded as Telenor Maritime.
Effective from 1 March, the new name and branding will be rolled out across the company’s products, services and communications throughout 2016. The name has been chosen to reflect the company’s increasingly broad marine connectivity and communications portfolio and the fact that it is moving into new markets where the Telenor name is well known.
“Telenor Maritime approaches connectivity differently to other maritime communications providers – essentially, we are a mobile operator at sea,” said 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 wifi 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.”
