FleetBroadband safety service Inmarsat is committed to safety and have been making life safer for seafarers for over 30 years. Previously, safety facilities were available via Inmarsat B, C, M, and Fleet 77 terminals, but not on FleetBroadband. For this reason, Inmarsat has introduced a new priority voice distress service for FleetBroadband, in addition to the existing free 505 Emergency Calling facility.
