Our services have been steadily growing and expanding to meet the demands of the shipping industry today. The need for communication from shore to ship has always been felt. Therefore we have introduced a service called SAILORMAIL. The friends and family members can now send e-mail to Sat C terminals on ships at a very reasonable cost.

We seafarers have always felt the need to present themselves at all family functions, be it birthday of their children or their own marriage anniversaries. It is the nature of our job that most of the times force us away from them. We have tried to fill up this gap by introducing a service called SAILORGIFT. Now the seafarers can send their loved ones bouquets, chocolates, cakes and presents to their near and dear ones and show them how much we miss them and care for them.

In May 2002 we inaugurated a service that is so unique to we seafarers -- "The Sailor News". It is a news service specially designed for ships. The news is compiled each day by professionals covering wide range of topics of interest to seafarers of all nationalities and contains the latest update till 0600 hrs UTC and is transmitted at 0630 hrs UTC the same day. The news prepared is specific to each ship taking into account the crew nationalities aboard the ship and any choice offered or feedback received. The file size is 7-8 kb (uncompressed) and 3-4 kb (compressed) to ensure a download time of 5-10 seconds depending on the satellite system used. To provide this service a wide publicity we have launched a separate website www.thesailornews.com.

Apart from above services, there are several others that save us time and help us make our life a fun. All this at a very reasonable cost, which every one of us will agree and appreciate! Needless to say, all our services are so popular today!!

Although this site has been developed from experiences gained hard way at sea. We believe that the sky is the limit for improvements and developments in services provided herein. We will welcome any experiences that come from our visitors and would be glad to implement any suggestion that would help improve our life at sea and that of our friends ashore.
