THRANE & THRANE STARTS SAILOR 500 FLEETBROADBAND ROLL-OUT FOR MAERSK LINE FLEET

Thrane & Thrane announces that it has started delivery of 200 SAILOR 500
FleetBroadband terminals for implementation by Certified Partner, Polaris
Electronics aboard the Maersk Line fleet. The roll-out follows shortly after
A.P. Moller - Maersk signed a significant contract with Polaris Electronics for
the supply of the terminals. Delivery completion is expected end October 2010.
With the completion of this supply Thrane & Thrane has delivered a total of 370
SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband to A.P. Moller - Maersk. 

“SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband offers high performance and reliability backed up by
our extensive global support network,” comments Casper Jensen, VP Maritime
Business Unit, Thrane & Thrane. “Maersk Line vessels will benefit from a proven
and best suited solution that is able to improve crew welfare, optimise
day-to-day communication and operation regardless of location or environment.” 

As the flagship terminal in Thrane & Thrane's FleetBroadband portfolio, which
also includes SAILOR 150 & 250 FleetBroadband, the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband
harnesses the full speed and power of Inmarsat's next generation service,
making cost-effective, high quality internet browsing, email and voice
communication possible on a global basis. Built to exacting SAILOR standards,
SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband is reliable and built to last, and offers
straightforward installation and maintenance. 

“Installation of the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband terminals is inherently simple,”
says Klavs Torp, Managing Director, Polaris Electronics. “We are supplying an
installation pack with every terminal, enabling the vessel's engineers to
conduct the work themselves. This approach has proved very efficient in the
past with installation time as low as just 1 ½ hours aboard some vessels.” 

“SAILOR FleetBroadband is going from strength to strength,” comments Walther
Thygesen, CEO, Thrane & Thrane. “This latest order with A.P. Moller - Maersk
for Maersk Line vessels strengthens its position as the FleetBroadband terminal
of choice within the commercial maritime market, having recently shipped our
12,000th unit since the launch of the FleetBroadband service in November 2007.”
