OneWeb Maritime is the LEO-alternative to Starlink for Singapore commercial vessels — same low-earth-orbit constellation architecture, but with a proper SLA, coverage in restricted waters where Starlink can’t operate, and predictable pricing for enterprise buyers. This guide covers the OneWeb Maritime pricing structure in SGD for 2026, plan tiers, and when it makes sense as your primary versus a backup to Starlink.
OneWeb Maritime in one paragraph
OneWeb operates a LEO constellation of ~650 satellites at 1,200 km altitude. Coverage is truly global including polar regions. Speeds on Maritime terminals are 50–200 Mbps down, 5–30 Mbps up. Latency 40–80ms. Comes with a genuine SLA — availability commitments and enterprise support — that Starlink Maritime does not yet match.
Pricing structure — how OneWeb sells maritime service
Unlike Starlink’s self-serve model, OneWeb Maritime sells through a distributor network. Prices in SGD are negotiated per fleet, not published openly. However, the typical Singapore commercial pricing landscape as of 2026:
| Plan tier | Committed information rate | Monthly (SGD) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Maritime | 4 Mbps CIR, 100 Mbps burst | 800–1,200 | Bulk carriers, tankers on standard routes |
| Premium Maritime | 10 Mbps CIR, 150 Mbps burst | 1,400–2,000 | OSVs, ferries, passenger vessels |
| Enterprise Maritime | 20 Mbps CIR, 200 Mbps burst | 2,400–3,500 | Cruise, large passenger, high-priority commercial |
| Backup / SLA overlay | 2 Mbps CIR, 100 Mbps burst | 500–800 | Failover behind Starlink on Peplink bonded stack |
Hardware — the OneWeb Maritime terminal
OneWeb Maritime terminals come from Intellian, Kymeta, Hughes and other approved manufacturers. The most-installed on Singapore vessels is the Intellian OW70M — a flat-panel electronically-steered antenna. Cost around SGD 3,500–4,500 per unit including install kit.
The terminal integrates with any Peplink or Cradlepoint edge router as a standard Ethernet WAN. That means you can slot it beside Starlink and 4G/5G on a Peplink B One with no proprietary integration required.
OneWeb vs Starlink — when to pick which
Pick OneWeb primary if:
- You operate in Starlink-restricted waters (some Chinese, Middle Eastern, and specific African EEZs)
- Your charter contract requires committed SLA
- Fleet standardises on enterprise contracts (finance/procurement prefer OneWeb’s structure)
- You need polar coverage — OneWeb provides full pole-to-pole, Starlink’s polar coverage is thinner
Pick Starlink primary + OneWeb backup if:
- You operate mostly in SE Asia and global commercial waters
- Cost matters — Starlink airtime is significantly cheaper for the same throughput
- You want the bonded stack for redundancy without paying two full enterprise contracts

Contract terms and lock-in
OneWeb Maritime contracts are typically 12–24 months. This is longer lock-in than Starlink (no lock-in beyond the current month) but comes with the SLA. Early termination fees apply if you leave inside the initial term.
Multi-vessel discounts apply from 3 vessels up. Fleet-wide agreements for 10+ vessels can drop per-vessel airtime by 15–25%.
What you actually pay in Singapore — indicative total per vessel
For a Singapore OSV running OneWeb Maritime Premium plan:
- Hardware (Intellian OW70M + install kit): SGD 4,500
- Install labour: SGD 1,500
- Monthly airtime (Premium plan): SGD 1,700
- Annual: 12 × 1,700 = SGD 20,400
- 3-year TCO: hardware (6,000) + 3 × 20,400 = SGD 67,200 per vessel
Compare to VSAT 3-year TCO of ~SGD 300,000 per vessel from our other post — OneWeb still saves ~77% versus VSAT. Bonded with Starlink, the savings versus VSAT approach 80%.
