Maritime Industries

Communications play a vital role in any business. In
the shipping industry, reliable and efficient messaging is
particularly essential, so you need a communications partner that
will understand your specialist requirements.

Stracom has many years specialist experience in the shipping industry, helping
those at sea to keep in touch with those on land and vice versa.

communication services and software cover all aspects of the industry, providing a “one stop shop”.
We can develop solutions to fulfill your specific requirements. Alternatively, the software and

needs. Our systems work with the latest technology, whilst also utilizing your existing hardware, including
telex and fax. Our fully trained staff will be able to offer the services you need to ensure cost effective
communications.

Reduce your costs

Stracom can save you money, as well as providing you with a high quality reliable service. Our secure, private global network provides substantial savings on international message transmissions.

Our specialist shipping services are specifically designed to make the most efficient use of satellite transmission times for messaging and hence reduce the cost of using this otherwise expensive medium.
