Overcome issues with mobile data connectivity for Seafarers in 2023!
In marine industry one of the big challenges for crew members is to have reliable means of communication but the perfect mobile data for Seafarers is hard to be found.
My name is Valentin Radu and I use to face this kind of problems.
Internet for marine workers
As a former electrician onboard oil tankers realised that having a good and reliable internet connection was an important aspect both professionally and personally. Professionally because I needed to search for documentation and sometimes download loads of technical data sheets for various equipment onboard. Personally, because it was really important to me to get in touch with my family whenever was possible. It helped me to keep a cleared and focused mind on my duties on board because I knew that all my loved ones are ok and I could speak to them at any time.
I know that in a large company with many vessels around the globe it is important to be able to communicate faster and more reliably with your key crew members or you agents especially in these difficult times.
With all that in mind I created Poginet SIM card, Seafarers SIM card as we like to call it.
Mobile data for Seafarers
It is a data only SIM card that allows crew members to have a good internet connection whenever they are in ports, in transit of canals or straits and when they navigate along the coast. Once it is set up it will automatically connect whenever there is mobile reception.
We have two main options that may be suitable for you and your crew.
- Individual SIM cards for each crew member. They are in charge of their spending, topping up and usage.
- Corporate Mobile Data Connection Service: SIM card and user management via a web portal. You will be in charge of spending, assigning credit and usage.
Just let me know which plan works better for you and I will get back with more details about it!
