The vessel that wants to participate in the program has been asked to install a Mobile WiFi Router (Telstra SIM-enabled) and a Mesh WiFi Extender. Once the Router and extender are installed, data will be remotely topped up by the Port Hedland Seafarers Centre for the duration of each port call or anchorage stay. 

 Pilbara Ports Executive General Manager Marine, Captain Philip Christy, said: “As professionals that are responsible for maintaining the smooth operations of large vessels calling at our ports, it’s imperative that we provide a safe and innovative way for seafarers to stay connected with loved ones.”

This new initiative aimed at enhancing seafarer welfare by help them connect with loved ones without burning a hole in their pocket.
