Case Study: Lindblad Expeditions achieves reliable ship-to-shore file transfer and replication with Resilio Connect

National Geographic fleet operator uses Resilio Connect for nature photography and logistics

Lindblad Expeditions, the National Geographic fleet operator, needed a reliable way to move mission-critical data across a remote maritime network with scarce, high-latency satellite connectivity. Their ships had to exchange invoices, daily expedition reports, safety manuals, and database updates, but existing FTP/SFTP processes were slow, fragile, and often required crew members to babysit transfers for hours.

To solve this, Lindblad Expeditions deployed **Resilio Connect** for resilient file transfer and database replication over FBB satellite and VSAT links. With mapped folder pairs, data now syncs 24/7 between ships and headquarters, reducing manual oversight, eliminating repeated restarts after disconnects, and improving reliability for file delivery and fleet operations.
