December 16, 2009 (FinancialWire) Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM) said its Iridium OpenPort(R) marine satellite system is winning an enthusiastic reception from commercial fishing fleets around the world.
One specific example is FV Aart Maaskant, which was one of the first Dutch commercial fishing vessels to be fitted with Iridium OpenPort. Gannexion BV, an Iridium service partner, installed the Iridium high-bandwidth terminal to replace the existing satcom system on the 42.36-meter beam trawler, which operates in the North Sea.
