[Promo] Unlimited Data Roaming Sim Cards by Marpoint

Communication providers’ internet data packages charging policies are different in each country. Mega- yachts typically require a huge amount of GB on daily basis.

Billing, top-ups, activation’s vary for each provider and package. A while ago, a 50 meter charter yacht travelling in the Mediterranean roamed into more than 4 countries, thus inuring abnormal 3G/4G data charges. . This situation begrudged the clients on board, while the costs per GB increased suddenly. That cannot be avoided as providers offer data packets that include a small amount of data, compelled the maritime companies to buy those packets like there is no other. Another aspect that must be taken into consideration is the fact that the number of 3G or 4G (LTE) devices and their requirements are increasing each year.

In detail, the most used gadgets/devices that consumed the most Internet data on board are:

Smart TVs, mobile phones or tablets through live streaming
Laptops, mobile or tablet applications that required voice and data

PROBLEM:

  • Communications providers offer data SIM contracts with small data packages (a few GB usually)
  • After bandwidth is consumed additional packages will have to be added manually (usually by the captain) who will be obliged to renew the available data manually each time
  • Additional data packages are charged much higher
  • Often yachts can connect to comms providers of nearby countries thus incurring high data roaming charges
  • The costs of the use of another data provider, can vary tremendously depending on which provider you are connected and where you go. In some cases, you could spend more data on checking where a café is, than on your meal when you get there

NEED:

  • SIM to work everywhere, with the lowest possible cost per GB
  • Big data packets such as 100GB, 200GB or 450GB to cover the vast data needs of a modern mega-yacht
