Communication Portal

Working away on the rigs as a crew member of any rank, we all know how difficult keeping in contact and communicating with colleagues, friends, and family can be.

As crew, we work together on and off for months, changing rigs or fields, and then possibly not see each other again for months or even years, and still remain in the same company. Should one of us change companies or leave the industry altogether, it is far too easy to lose contact completely.

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

A Live Drilling Industry Search Database with data supplied and regularly updated by specialist industry data providers. 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 colleagues past and present. An online community of crew, where you will always find someone you have something in common with.
Rig Chat Room Community
Crew2Crew have created a Rig Chat Room Community for rig workers and crew 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.
