Thuraya has announced the full-scale launch of its Crew Calling solution, which is based on its popular prepaid concept - Call for all.

Thuraya's Crew Calling solution offers a complete service for the maritime industry by addressing the difficulties faced by mariners who are at sea, cut off from family and friends for long periods of time.

Thuraya's Crew Calling solution consists of Thuraya's SeaOne maritime unit and an optional dialer that allows access to dedicated crew-calling numbers only.

Thuraya's Call for all prepaid cards enables multiple users to share one handset with each individual maintaining their own prepaid account.

Yousuf Al Sayed, Thuraya's CEO said: "Thuraya's Crew Calling solution represents a great value to the maritime industry in need of integrated voice and data services.

"Thuraya satellite services will connect pleasure boat users, fishermen and commercial fleet at sea with the rest of world affordably, providing them with a sense of security and connectivity with the rest of the world."

By using Thuraya's Call for all cards, seafarers will be able to monitor their call expenditures, maintain privacy and have the convenience to make calls at any time at budget-fit tariffs.

In addition, the Thuraya crew calling solution provides the owners with hassle-free administration of tracking calls, an option to share one phone as a communal terminal for both official and social communication.

Thuraya Crew Calling solution offers uninterrupted satellite telecommunications services across its entire coverage area including the Gulf, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Arabian Sea, North Sea, Baltic Sea, Caspian Sea, Black Sea and parts of the Indian and Atlantic oceans.
