Communication Portal

Working away at sea as a seafarer and fishing crew of any rank, we all know how difficult keeping in contact and communicating with shipmates, friends, colleagues and family can be.

As crew, we work together in an uncertain industry, signing off, changing vessels or home ports and then possibly not see each other again for months or even years. Should one of us change fleets or leave the sea altogether, it is far too easy to lose contact completely.

Our extraordinary life at sea has inherent communication problems at professional, social and personal levels. Crew2Crew has designed and built a number of communications solutions specifically for crew members at sea and those that have left it.

  • A Live Marine Search Database with data supplied and regularly updated by Lloyd’s Marine Intelligence Unit (the people who bring you the ’Lloyd’s Shipping Index’). This will help you find yourself within the industry and then find your colleagues and friends.
  • A Secure Communications System that provides crew and companies with secure e-mail, IM Instant Messaging, private company chat rooms, private notice boards, SMS text messaging and WAP communication services.
  • Secure Networking through Crew2Crew filtered links for e-mail, chat and messaging communication, where your private e-mail address and contact details are kept private.
  • Social Networking allowing crew members active and retired, to find and keep in contact with shipmates and colleagues past and present. An online community of crew, where you will always find someone you have something in common with.
  • Marine Chat Room Community
    With a constantly changing industry and at times an uncertain future we need keep abreast of industry news and our support network.

    Crew2Crew have created a commercial fishing Chat Room Community for fishermen and seafarers from around the world to come and relax and socialize. Rooms to be informed and keep up to date with changes in the industry and private chat rooms for one to one conversation or a group of your invited friends. Rooms to chat in your own language or create your own temporary Chat room to discuss a specific topic.
  • General Notice & Message boards
    Their function is to act as a static communications point where different types of information can be posted, viewed and answered.

Crew 2 Crew is the Communications Forum to your industry.
