Advances in communication technology for the commercial shipping industry have grown exponentially within the past few years. With SeaAccess, ship captains and crew can browse the Internet, whether traversing the Atlantic or crossing the Mediterranean. And the benefits are not just limited to crew retention—vessel owners and operators are also recognizing the benefits of extending their corporate networks and applications to individual vessels at sea.

Sea Change in Capabilities

Shipping companies that operate tankers, cargo vessels and container ships that use traditional handheld satellite phones and other metered, pay-by-the-minute solutions, are burdened with unpredictable communication costs. However, IP-based VSAT services enable unlimited voice and fax, corporate networking, always-on Internet connectivity and real-time video for a fixed price that can be consistently budgeted.

Proven Competency

Since deploying its first VSAT nearly three decades ago, CapRock has established the reputation as the leader in serving the communication needs for those working in remote, at-sea environments. From captains sending real-time electronic cargo manifests to crew calling friends and family back home, SeaAccess is increasing the efficiency of marine operations and boosting the spirits of those onboard.
