Welcome Aboard: What Sea Current Tech Is About

If you work at sea, you know the drill: the crew Wi-Fi crawls, your eSIM from the last port died the moment you needed it, and half the "best VPN" articles online are clearly written by people who have never seen a gangway.
Sea Current Tech exists to fix that. This site is written from the perspective of a working marine engineer, someone who has spent real contracts aboard real ships, juggling port SIM cards, satellite internet quirks and the eternal question of how to video-call home without spending half a salary.
What you'll find here
- Connectivity guides, eSIMs that actually work for crew (Airalo is the one most of the team reaches for in port), what Starlink Maritime feels like from the crew mess (not the brochure), VPNs that survive satellite latency.
- Gear that earns its place in a cabin, where every kilogram and every cubic centimetre of your bag matters.
- Digital life for seafarers, sending money home without losing 8% on the way, keeping up certificates online, staying close to people you love across nine time zones.
What we won't do
We won't pretend everything is great. If a service falls apart mid-ocean, we'll say so. If the boring cheap option beats the shiny one, we'll say that too.
