World-Link Communications is Finalist for the “Technical Innovation in Shipping” Award with CrewMail
Framingham, MA, October 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- World-Link Communications, award-winning provider of customizable, maritime satellite communications solutions, announced today that CrewMail is finalist for the 2008 Seatrade Middle East and Indian Subcontinent Award. Seatrade judges’ panel has selected CrewMail for the “Technical Innovation in Shipping” category prize. World-Link is competing for the award against Inmarsat and Aveva Solutions, Ltd. The winner will be announced on October 9, in Dubai, UAE.
“We have designed CrewMail with the specific idea to create a service that fulfills the deep human need to communicate without restrictions, at an affordable rate and respecting the seafarer’s privacy” said Asad Salameh, President of World-Link Communications. According to the International Labor Office, the worst aspect of a career at sea is the long time spent apart from family and friends. This represents one of the main causes of maritime crew shortage. With the employment rate expected to grow 16%, between 2006 and 2016, ship owners and managers are experiencing a big challenge in recruiting and retaining crew members.
With CrewMail, World-Link Communications proves, one more time, to live up to its commitment to enhancing satellite communications services while meeting customers’ need for faster, more reliable and cost effective services. For more information about CrewMail, contact at crewmail@wlnet.com.
