IIRC adding ships and planes to the mix likely won’t make a big difference to the home/land user as they are geographically far apart.
The bottleneck is the bandwidth/users a single satellite can serve at any given time, as a single satellite serves users below where it is at that point in the sky. So when satellites start orbiting over the ocean or remote/uninhabited locations, they are sitting idle.

I would think that latitude distance is irrelevant and longitude distance is everything.
A ship going across the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans would have the satelites all to themselves. A ship sailing ports in the Caribbean would be in a very congested region.
Airplanes fly at a very high elevation which should allow them to access satellites covering less dense cells.
What's the backhaul for those ships though? I thought point to point transmission wasn't available yet and therefore you needed to be relatively close to the backhaul point.
