In today’s commercial shipping industry, vessel operators need unlimited access to communications so they can operate each vessel as an office at sea. When captains have access to email, network reports and corporate applications, they can increase the operational efficiency of their vessels. Operators also need a cost-effective means to entertain onboard crews that may be out to sea for weeks or months at a time. By providing attractive entertainment services, vessel operators can boost crew morale and improve crew retention.
