Free extra time for crew to connect with loved ones by Inmarsat


Inmarsat is gifting seafarers free extra time to catch up with their loved ones over the festive period. As part of the shipping industry’s #SeafarersDeliveringChristmascampaign, we are offering free call and data minutes on our ChatCard and Fleet Hotspot satellite services from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day.

Crew often spend months at a time at sea, and being away from family at this time of year is particularly hard. In addition, seafarers were hard-hit by the impact of the pandemic so being able to spend longer speaking with relatives and friends will be especially precious.

Allowance discount

The promotion gives them an additional 33% talk time on FleetBroadband and Fleet Xpress ChatCards, and a discount on all 1GB and 5-hour allowance purchased from the onboard Fleet Hotspot Portal, which will be available for US$10 instead of the usual US$15.

Fleet Hotspot allows crew the freedom to access a dedicated Wi-Fi portal and manage internet access on their own devices with no impact on operational connectivity.

Use the ChatCard Online Portal or email your order before 18:00 UTC on 24 December.
