SIM packs and eSIM for seafarer centres
Keep SIM packs at the centre desk and in the ship visit bag, so crews in port get data for shore leave and the next port calls. eSIM goes by email.
Short answer: Seafarers come to the centre for Wi-Fi, a ride to town, and a SIM. The desk keeps SIM packs for the port country, and the ship visitor takes packs for the next region of each ship. A crew member whose phone supports eSIM pays at the desk and gets the one-time code by email.

Before you choose
Short answers to the common questions. The partner agreement sets the final terms.
Which packs should the centre keep?
Packs for the port country, for shore leave, and regional packs for the next ports of the ships due. The centre sets the number.
Does the plan work at sea?
No. The plan works ashore and in port. At sea, the crew uses the ship Wi-Fi.
Can a ship visitor sell on board?
Yes, where the ship and the port allow ship visits. The visitor checks the phone before the sale, because a SIM pack needs an unlocked phone with a SIM slot.
Who sets the price?
The centre. You buy at a partner price and set the retail price for the crews.
