The Port of Las Palmas has once again showcased its logistical capability for the international energy industry. The dynamic positioning DP3 accommodation vessel NOR Spirit, operated by Nortrans Offshore, has set sail fully resupplied after a technical stop at the docks of the Canary Islands capital. Taking advantage of its stay in the island facility, the engineering firm Deepsea Networks executed the rapid installation of an Intellian T130N satellite television antenna. The deployment of this high-tech equipment aims to ensure connectivity and enhance crew well-being during its upcoming operational campaigns offshore. For the preparation of this news, no commercial negotiation has been established.
The maneuver executed consolidates the Canary Islands as the reference ICT workshop in the Central Atlantic, backed by the global support network of Intellian, a multinational that in 2026 quintupled its production capacity after inaugurating a new 20,000-square-meter industrial campus. Following an intense operational stop at the docks of the Canary Islands capital, the state-of-the-art DP3 accommodation and dynamic positioning vessel, NOR Spirit, operated by Nortrans Offshore, has successfully completed its final preparations and is fully operational for its next mission offshore. The floating giant’s stay at the island facility served not only for resupply and system refresh tasks. At the same time, the local naval engineering demonstrated its agility through Deepsea Networks, whose technicians carried out a quick and high-complexity installation aboard the ship.
Global connectivity for crew well-being
The intervention focused on the deployment of the technological system T130N from multinational Intellian Technologies, a cutting-edge piece of equipment designed to provide reliable television and satellite connectivity services under critical industry standards (TVRO). According to sources from Deepsea Networks, the installation of such stabilized antennas aims to enhance the onboard living experience and ensure crew well-being during long campaigns on offshore platforms, achieving completion with a ‘minimum downtime’ for the shipowner.
The support for this operation rests on the industrial strength of Intellian, a corporation that has drastically expanded its operational capacity during the current year 2026 after inaugurating a new production campus of 20,575 square meters. The technology firm reinvests 15% of its annual revenues in research and development, maintaining a multimillion-dollar strategic alliance with telecommunications giant Speedcast, ensuring that vessels operating in the energy corridor of West Africa and the Canary Islands have coverage and technical assistance within a network of more than 300 global centers.
The combination of Las Palmas’ port infrastructure, the technical precision of local engineers, and cutting-edge components consolidates the Canary Islands as the preferred workshop and connectivity node for the most demanding fleets of the international energy sector.
