Crew Wellbeing
Crew Communications
Connection with home is the number one welfare concern of seafarers and makes a huge difference to crew when choosing a company to work for. We have a range of options and flexible packages to enable affordable crew calls, email, and Internet access.
Keep Your Crew Connected
Crew Calling
Connect with loved ones by phone with physical and virtual crew-calling cards. Versatile packages providing prioritized VoIP service over separate or assigned lines and pre- or post-payment options.
Connect with family by email using Intelligent Hybrid Connectivity as a Service. All-inclusive, No CAPEX. No Commitment. A groundbreaking global hybrid connectivity solution built to fuel your fleet’s competitive edge for a single, flexible monthly subscription.
Offer crew connections to the Internet via KVH’s global VSAT network’s Unlimited Use data channel. Ideal for WhatsApp. High-speed channel with daily, weekly, and monthly data allocation.
Entertainment, News & Sports
Daily news updates, favorite movies, TV, music, and the thrill of sports. A relaxing individual diversion when crew are off watch and a source of conversation and crew interaction when gathering together, KVH Link offers news, sports, and entertainment that will contribute to seafarer wellbeing.
Entertainment
An entertaining and social experience for crew with early release and classic movies from Hollywood, Bollywood, and independent studios – plus TV, music, trending social videos, and karaoke.
News & Breaking Updates
News content in video, audio, and text, covering virtually every country of the world and in the most popular crew languages. News reviews, updates and special interest items (business, science, tech), as well as access to global breaking news and vital updates
Sports
Your crew’s favorite sports, covered in video, audio and text. Get news, stories, and video highlights, along with sports talk and documentaries, plus play-by-play text and detailed sports stats on leagues and events.
Mental Wellbeing
Seafarers face unique working conditions, which can put them under a lot of stress, with fewer opportunities for relief than they would be likely to find on land. At KVH, we offer several services and initiatives that provide support, techniques, and ideas for socializing onboard.
SeafarerHelp
Mariners on any vessel with KVH VSAT service can place free VoIP calls to ISWAN’s confidential, multilingual 24-hour SeafarerHelp phone line – an important initiative to support mental wellbeing for seafarers.
Community
The KVH Link set-top box enables entertainment content to be enjoyed on a TV screen in one of the communal areas so that crew can host movie nights from their own country or enjoy karaoke together.
Relaxation
At KVH, we have several services that can provide your seafarers with useful tools to relax effectively on their downtime, including meditation, mindful podcasts, and puzzles.
