Jumbo Ferry has introduced Starlink, the low Earth orbit satellite communication service provided by SpaceX, on its vessel “Ritsurin 2.”
The service is available to holders of Premium Seat tickets, allowing them to use internet access while the ship is sailing. Each session is limited to 30 minutes.
For Family Private Rooms and Single Private Rooms, passengers can connect automatically by scanning the QR code posted inside the room or within the corresponding area. For Box Seats and “Nobinobi” reclining floor seats, passengers must hold the Premium Seat ticket’s QR code over the ticket machine in the 3rd-floor lobby and receive a separate QR code for Wi-Fi connection.
Mobile network signals tend to become unstable while sailing, and securing a reliable means of internet connection on board had been an issue. By introducing Starlink, the ferry will be able to secure a communication line even at sea.
