Navarino supports Sailor Society research into the importance of connectivity to crew welfare

Oct 16, 2024 | CSR News

Navarino is proud to support Sailors’ Society’s “State of the Industry Snapshot” report, an in-depth exploration of the critical connection between internet access and seafarer well-being.

This report aligns with Navarino’s belief in supporting seafarers through advanced communication technologies. At Navarino, we understand that access to high speed, reliable connectivity is not to be considered a luxury, but a necessity for the well-being of crew members. This report highlights the critical relationship between internet access and mental health, demonstrating how reliable connectivity can reduce feelings of isolation, strengthen social ties, and improve overall wellness.

Christian Vakarelis, Navarino’s VP Communications said ‘We have always championed the importance of robust, secure, and seamless communications for those working at sea. We believe that with today’s technology, seafarers should each have the same opportunity to stay connected with their families, access support services, and enjoy social interactions, no matter where they are. The findings in this report reinforce our commitment to providing innovative solutions that address these needs. By supporting this report, we aim to foster dialogue across the maritime industry and encourage the adoption of technologies that prioritize crew welfare, ensuring that every individual on board can thrive both mentally and emotionally.’

This sponsorship reflects our shared vision with Sailors’ Society in creating a more connected and caring environment for the world’s seafaring community.
