Today’s young professionals have never experienced an un-connected world. They are used to be connected everywhere, and to make and update plans on the fly. To understand why this should be different only because they are onboard an offshore vessel is hard.

If you shall be able to attract the best young professionals to also work onboard, you will have to offer the best suite of personalized communication including both WiFi and GSM coverage on the entire vessel. They expect to be able to communicate in the same way as on land.

Clients’ complex operations are another major reason for needing improved personalized communication ability. These operations demand highly skilled experts from client or subcontractors to visit the vessels for longer or shorter periods. These experts are very valuable for their employers, and it is mandatory that they can be reached on their normal email addresses and telephone numbers no matter where they are situated. Unavailability in doing so can have severe implications both cost and time wise.

These are only a couple of examples why a state of the art, future proof personalized communication suite is so important for the offshore industry.
