Shin Nihonkai Ferry and Tokyo Kyushu Ferry will make the “au Starlink Ferry Wi-Fi” service available in all passenger cabins.
This is an onboard Wi-Fi service that utilizes Starlink, a high-speed satellite communication service provided by KDDI and Wire and Wireless, and allows communication at speeds of up to 220 Mbps. Until now, the service had been limited to certain public spaces such as entrance halls and restaurants.
The ferries “Lavender” and “Hamayu” will start providing the service in cabins from April 20, “Azalea” and “Soleil” from April 21, “Suzuran” from April 23, and “Suisen” on sailings departing from late June. The “Keyaki” already offers the service throughout the entire vessel, including cabins. The service will not be provided on the “Lilac”, “Yukari”, and “Akashia”.
The fee is free for au users and subscribers to the dedicated au Starlink Direct plan+, and 1,500 yen per 24 hours for all other users.
