According to a recent Nautilus International survey, while 88% of the seafarers that responded have internet access at sea, those who do often have limited access at high cost. Taking this into consideration, it is interesting to know what specific services do companies offer at their crew onboard.

Statistics show 91% of UK homes have broadband access and the UK Government recently announced that access to the internet should be a basic right, rather than a luxury.

Yet the survey’s results show that despite 88% of the seafarers responded to having internet access at sea, those who do often have limited access at high cost.

So what services do companies provide to their seafarers?
