"With our free 'C-mail' gift this year, seafarers around the Muslim world had the opportunity to stay in touch with each other as never before. We extend our gift to the rest of the season's holidays for the entire maritime community to benefit from."
Family and friends of seafarers need only log on to www.inmarsat.com/seamail and follow the simple step-by-step instructions to dispatch their e-mail within seconds. With the help of the Land Earth Stations operated by telecommunication companies, e-mails will be transmitted directly to ships of all sizes across the globe via Inmarsat C terminals.
