Starlink was launched by SpaceX to provide internet access to remote areas of the earth using satellites. Since starting operations it has already been used by airlines as well as battlefields in Ukraine after existing infrastructure was destroyed. Now Starlink will be used in the shipping industry.
Royal Caribbean cruise ship company announced they will be testing the Starlink system on several of their ships. An application to test Starlink has already been submitted to the FCC by Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean hopes that with Starlink, internet speeds on board can be increased from 3–5 Mbps to 50–250 Mbps, which is many times faster.
