TURNIUM'S CLARATTI DELIVERS CREWMATE CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION TO SUPPORT SEAFARERS IN CRISIS
Turnium Technology Group Inc., through its Australian subsidiary Claratti, has noted that independent maritime publisher Daily Cargo News (DCN) has published a feature story showcasing how the company's CrewMate solution delivered critical connectivity support to international seafarers aboard the containership Hansa Homburg during an unexpected four-week vessel detention at Sydney Australia's White Bay.
The published article, Hampered Hansa Homburg helped by Seafarer Connect, documents how Claratti's CrewMate device, "a ruggedized, portable Internet solution" was rapidly deployed to address the immediate welfare needs of vessel crew members facing extended periods alongside due to safety rectification works.
Real-world impact on seafarer welfare
The Hansa Homburg case demonstrates CrewMate's practical value in addressing one of the maritime industry's most pressing challenges: maintaining crew connectivity during unexpected delays. As highlighted in the DCN article, extended periods without shore leave, communication access and connection with family contribute to elevated stress, fatigue and the conditions that drive down global Seafarer Happiness Index ratings.
"This real-world deployment showcases exactly what CrewMate was designed to do," said Doug Childress, global chief executive officer of Turnium. "When crew welfare is on the line, our solution delivers the ability to rapidly deploy reliable Internet connectivity to vessels in non-standard locations. In this case, a cruise terminal rather than a traditional cargo port demonstrates the flexibility and robustness of the CrewMate platform. We are proud to support initiatives like Seafarer Connect that recognize connectivity as a fundamental human need for seafarers facing unexpected hardship."
Partnership strength and rapid response
The article specifically commends the partnership between Claratti and the Tas Bull Seafarers Foundation's Seafarer Connect initiative, highlighting how both organizations mobilized quickly to support the Hansa Homburg crew with the assistance of the Australian ITF Inspectorate.
Robert Coombs, managing director of the Seafarer Connect project, noted in the DCN publication: "We thank Claratti for their ongoing partnership and rapid technical support. Ensuring seafarers stay connected during long delays is a small but important step in respecting their dignity, supporting their mental health, and recognizing the sacrifices they make to keep global trade moving."
