According to the Crew Communications Survey 2014
Crewtoo, the seafarer social network operated by KVH Industries has been named the most popular maritime website in a survey of mariners conducted recently by Futurenautics, an independent information resource that identifies technology trends in the shipping industry.
The Crew Communications Survey 2014 addresses many topics surrounding the issue of crew access to the Internet for staying in touch with family and friends. When respondents (nearly 3,000 mariners from 30 different nationalities) were asked to name their favorite maritime website, the single most popular choice was Crewtoo.
With 105,000 members, Crewtoo is the world’s largest online network dedicated to seafarers, and was founded less than two years ago. The online network gives seafarers a way to post comments and photographs from their vessels, chat with colleagues on other ships, take part in seafarer-related polls and votes, and keep up with maritime news. Crewtoo recently added an online maritime jobs board to help match the right companies with the best seafarers.
“We are thrilled to have been named by an independent survey of mariners as their favorite maritime website,” says Mark Woodhead, managing director of KVH Media Group. “It reinforces to us how important it is for mariners to feel a sense of community while at sea.“
