Motive Television PLC
("Motive" or the "Company")
First Bring Your Own Device Maritime Contract Signed with Aegean
Speed Lines
Initiating First Commercial Use of Motive/Twin Peak Video
Platform
Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV), the technology provider to
broadcasters and pay television operators, is pleased to announce
that Twin Peak S.A. has signed a one-year renewable commercial
contract for the Motive/Twin Peak video solution with Aegean Speed
Lines S.A., provider of ferry services among Athens and the
Cyclades.
Initial services will begin shortly on the ferry Speedrunner IV
with a capacity of approximately 800 passengers and 160 cars,
followed by installation and commercial launch on Speedrunner III
with the same configuration. Ferry journeys between Athens and the
islands range from 2.5 to 6.5 hours depending upon the destination,
and each ship completes one round trip per day based on the
published schedules.
On 24 March 2015, the Company announced the commencement of
testing of the BYOD services on the Aegean ships as well as another
ferry line that serves points in Greece and Italy. Agreements with
the second ferry line are in discussion.
Under Motive's agreement with Twin Peak signed in August 2014,
Motive and Twin Peak will each receive half the net revenues after
content costs. The revenue to Motive will depend upon the number of
users of the service, however, in the case of Speedrunner III and
IV, this might generate EUR3,500 to EUR4,500 per month per ship for
Motive.
Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive, commented, "The Aegean contract
is the first evidence of what the Company anticipates will be a
growing and very successful business for Motive based on the
maritime commercialization of our technology. When we consider the
thousands of ferries, cruise ships, commercial ships, and yachts in
operation, the Company can look forward to developing a global
maritime BYOD business with great value to Motive."
