CrewVision - the latest in onboard on-demand entertainment

 

Vessel owners and maritime governing bodies are increasingly recognising the importance of crew welfare. Crew are often at sea for long periods and having been brought up enjoying the benefits of a digital era involving instant communication, loneliness is proving more challenging for young people today than ever before. Research shows that mental health issues of isolation and depression are growing. One way of improving the situation is through providing suitable entertainment either in communal areas, encouraging more interaction, or in private areas.

Crew retention is crucial for maintaining the economic manning, and therefore, the operational flexibility of ship personnel. With this in mind NSSLGlobal offers a suite of low cost crew internet and entertainment services via a variety of payment options to suit all budgets.

Data speeds and voice quality unaffected by content downloads

CrewVision is NSSLGlobal’s ship entertainment service offering a wide variety of viewing content and utilises a dedicated multi-broadcast channel over our VSAT network. This unique feature of NSSLGlobal’s VSAT IP@SEA service ensures that the vessels data speeds or voice quality are unaffected by the content downloads. Content is continually refreshed using NSSLGlobal’s network capacity, not the vessels, so there is no impact on the user experience.

Optional WAP points - separate operational and crew usage

CrewVision provides on-demand access to a wide variety of Movies, TV Drama, documentaries, and daily world news. The service can be provided either in communal areas on board, or if suitable Wireless Access Points are specified across the vessel, then viewing can take place by individual crew members in their own cabins using their tablets/PCs accordingly.

Ship operators can benefit and be re-assured in the following ways:

a) ship’s crew can experience faster internet speeds as a result of separating Crew Entertainment viewing from Operational and Crew Welfare internet use

b)  all CrewVision content has the applicable entertainment licences.

All CrewVision entertainment licences are included

This is an ever-rising risk of legal prosecution to vessel owners, operators and managers who are responsible if their crew download illegal entertainment content. Our CrewVision service provides legal content, thereby ensuring that no entertainment licence laws are breached in the viewing of the latest movies and entertainment.

CrewVision entertainment is refreshed on-board by receiving fresh content over each ship’s VSAT system, without impacting on the user experience of the VSAT maritime broadband service on-board.

Entertainment and news are provided in various languages and NSSLGlobal continues to expand its content to include more regional programming to accommodate the variety of crew nationalities. Please speak to us for more details of what is coming.

The way it works is quite easy. Clients can buy the CrewVision ship hardware outright, or simply rent it. Clients have the flexibility to choose a single content package, or select from the following to create their own bespoke content package:
