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, 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.
