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.
