Certified technology for digital vessels
As vessels become more connected, their operations increasingly depend on satellite communications, onboard IT infrastructure, and centralized fleet management. The reliability of these systems directly affects operational continuity, cybersecurity, and the flow of information between ship and shore.
Certified technology is not just a plus, but necessary condition to meet maritime requirements.
Marpoint has renewed the Product Design Assessment (PDA) certification, by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), covering EVO2 and UNI, with its scope extended to the next-generation EVO3.
Managed IT Services complement the EVO2, EVO3 and UNI platforms by providing centralized operational management, remote administration and continuous monitoring of vessel IT infrastructure.
EVO2 and EVO3: Managed vessel communications
EVO2 and EVO3 are Marpoint’s network management devices, designed to integrate multiple WAN connections, including LEO satellite, VSAT, L-band, and 5G, within a centrally managed environment. They support traffic control, next-generation firewall protection, and shore-based visibility across vessel communications.
The renewed ABS Product Design Assessment also recognizes the integration of Marpoint’s Managed IT Services with the EVO series. Through centralized monitoring, secure remote administration, configuration management, security updates, and technical support, Marpoint helps shipping companies maintain reliable connectivity, strengthen onboard cybersecurity, and respond faster to operational issues across the fleet.
UNI: Resilient and scalable infrastructure for onboard applications
While EVO manages the vessel’s communication environment, UNI provides the virtualized infrastructure that hosts and protects onboard digital applications.
Built around a resilient triple-node architecture, UNI allows multiple virtual machines and vessel applications to operate within a centralized environment. This reduces reliance on separate physical servers and creates a more efficient, scalable, and manageable onboard IT foundation.
Virtual machine replication, snapshots, crash-consistent backups, and file recovery capabilities help protect system availability and accelerate recovery following a technical failure. The result is an infrastructure designed to support both operational continuity and the vessel’s evolving digital requirements.
From onboard systems to secure, centralized fleet management
Together, EVO2, EVO3, and UNI integrate vessel communications, network management, virtualized infrastructure, and cybersecurity within a unified technology ecosystem.
EVO strengthens the security of vessel communications through next-generation firewall capabilities, network traffic control, secure remote access, and centralized monitoring.
UNI complements this protection at the infrastructure level by centralizing onboard applications within a resilient virtualized environment.
Combined with Marpoint’s Managed IT Services, this infrastructure enables secure remote administration, software and security updates, continuous performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and proactive incident management. This layered approach reduces the need for onboard technical intervention while strengthening cybersecurity and supporting operational continuity across fleets.
Supporting compliance and long-term digital resilience
Certification is not a one-time milestone. Maritime regulations, technical standards, and cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve, making continuous review and ongoing compliance essential.
The renewal of the ABS Product Design Assessment reflects Marpoint’s commitment to maintaining independently assessed technology for modern vessel operations.
By combining certified product designs with maritime communications expertise, centralized fleet management, and ongoing technical support, Marpoint provides shipping companies with a reliable foundation for secure, connected, and resilient digital operations.
