GTMaritime has launched an intuitive email management solution that is specifically optimised for fishing vessels to communicate with shore more efficiently and cost-effectively.
SeaMail has been designed and optimised for use over satellites, dealing with high latency circuits and multiple connection management. It also resumes data transfer from the point of interruption if there is a break in communications. GTMaritime stated that use of SeaMail reduces costly satellite bandwidth usage, saving up to 80% on satellite airtime.
“Smaller vessels such as barges, fishing and leisure vessels don’t have the capacity or budget to be able to operate larger, managed and comprehensive email solutions,” said Robert Kenworthy, CEO. “We’ve used our 20+ years of experience in the maritime industry to develop a product which suits their needs and requirements, ultimately allowing them to manage their costs and save money.”

Kenworthy added: “Airtime providers can now deliver an even better level of support and service to their small vessel customer by offering a simple, managed email solution with their airtime. This gives users just one place to call for all their satellite communication needs and supplies the airtime provider with the latest tools to support them.”
SeaMail is designed to be compatible with tablets and mobile devices, as well as desktop computers. The technology is also compatible with all satellite communications including VSAT, Inmarsat, Iridium, Thuraya, GSM and local WIFI. It has the ability to operate independently of airtime providers.
