The colors are awful, but here is the projected coverage map for maritime use: https://api.starlink.com/public-files/maritime-coverage-map.pdf https://api.starlink.com/public-files/maritime-coverage-map.... Near-shore coverage is there because of the nearby ground stations, yes. But per that map they expect to be covering two large bands of open ocean later this year, and the rest next year. Satellite-to-satellite communication will allow users to make use of it without nearby ground stations via multiple in-space hops. Given that this press release has them deploying Starlink in their cruise ship fleet at the end of Q1 2023, that fits the above map's projections. So Starlink already has a major customer lined up for their upcoming service.
