Most vessels will have some form of connectivity on board right now. It depends on their vicinity to coast.

Right now data sizes of an email are industry standard. As you go into 100s of Mb you start to see people really struggle.

I would look at BIM systems for a parallel with ships. Ships are incredibly complicated and often self reliant. Shore based monitoring is hated by the crew but vessel operators see return from it.

A simple example would be an extension of the IoT devices already on board probably around engines. Anything with tangible benefits to Efficiency and safety would see investment.
